Laser Hair removal

A human hair is made up of three main parts:

• The Hair Shaft
• The Follicle
• The Bulb

E Light sends out a wave of light, which generates heat and is drawn down the hair shaft to the hair follicle.

 

Once  the heat is generated, it is absorbed by the hair shaft and it is transferred down to the bulb where it  greatly inhibits the hair re-growth.
The inbuilt coolant in the E Light means that you don’t feel a thing.

 

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser treatment is the nearest we can get to achieving long term excellent results in hair removal.

 

Occasionally it is possible to see the re-growth of small amounts of hair over a period of time but this is usually weaker and lighter in colour and can be treated again if necessary.

 

How long do the treatments take?

This depends on the area being treated and ranges from 15 minutes for the upper lip or chin and bikini line to 60 minutes for the back or the legs.

 

What should I expect following the treatment?

At the end of each treatment, the treated area may show slight reddening which tends to disappear after only a few minutes. The hairs remain in the skin but those that have been damaged by the laser will gradually drop out over the following 2 weeks. This sometimes gives the appearance of the hair growing more quickly than normal but is really due to the hair being shed from the skin.

 

Are there any side effects?

Usually the treated area has only a temporary redness which disappears quickly.

Occasionally, a hot spot may last for more than a couple of hours and infrequently a blister may appear. In some cases, the treated area may be left with a temporary dark coloration which will disappear after a few weeks.

 

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required will vary dependent on the hair colour, the skin colour and hair thickness. The courser the hair, darker skin and pale hair colour will often require more sessions. Typically 6 to 8 sessions will be sufficient to treat the average person with pale skin and dark hair.

 

Typically 6 or 8 treatments are required in a white skin and maybe 8 or 10 in a darker skin. However, some clients may require more treatments to achieve the desired result.

 

As the treatment depends on the light energy being absorbed by the pigment colour of the hair, black and dark brown hair responds quicker than light brown and blonde hair. As white, grey, platinum blond hair contains virtually no pigment; laser hair removal is unlikely to effective on these hair colours.

 

Why do I need more than one treatment?

The laser can only affect those follicles that have a hair in them. Only about one third of your follicles are growing at any given time.

 

Hair grows in a 3-phase cycle- it has a growing phase, a dormancy phase and a resting phase. Only hair that is in the growing (anagen) phase can be successfully removed with the laser. At any one time approximately 85% of hairs are in the anagen phase.

 

 

How often will I need treatments?

Different body areas require different intervals between retreatment. This is due to differing types of hair, hormone levels and hair growth cycles. The length of time between treatments will increase after a few treatments. After the first few sessions, you will rebook your appointments when you see approximately 30% regrowth.
