Laser Hair Removal Preston @ The SWC

It’s a question that piques everyone’s curiosity – the magic behind laser hair removal. So, how does it actually work? Laser hair removal operates by directing a powerful beam of intense pulsed light (IPL) onto the area with unwanted hair. This light is absorbed by the hair follicle, generating heat and ultimately rendering the follicle incapable of repair. With just a few sessions, you can expect your hair to cease regenerating, eliminating the need for future waxing or shaving. Say goodbye to the hassle, and hello to a life of smooth, carefree skin!

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure when carried out by a professional practitioner, like us here at the Skin and Wellbeing Clinic. And this can be used effectively to remove hair from target areas around the body, including: Face, Neck, Chest, Arms, Underarms, Back, Legs, Stomach , Bikini line/Brazilian.

The idea of laser hair removal can be a little bit scary, and we are often asked if this will hurt. For most people, this treatment is simply uncomfortable, rather than painful. In fact, it is often described as less painful than waxing. The level of discomfort will differ for individuals, and generally speaking courser and thicker hair can be more uncomfortable to have removed. Some people describe the sensation as a mild heat, others compare it to being flicked with a rubber band, while others report no sensations at all. Rest assured, here at the Skin and Wellbeing Clinic, we are fully trained professionals who take the utmost care when implementing any procedure, including laser hair removal.

The length of time before some hair begins to grow back will depend on a range of factors, including individual hormones and genes, as well as the number of treatments. For the best results, we would cycle treatments on a 6 weekly basis, to target as much hair as possible, and remove this at all different stages of the growth cycle. Between treatments you should refrain from waxing the area, and stick to only shaving. This allows for more effective hair removal results.

Well, your body will always want to do it’s own thing. Whilst our laser hair removal treatment is incredibly effective, in some cases a “top up” treatment may be required after 12 months or so. Here at The Skin and Wellbeing Clinic, we can offer professional laser hair removal procedures that are based around your individual requirements and personal requests.
