LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Here at Aesthetics HQ we use a medical grade laser the Elysion Pro 3500w suitable for all skin types. Laser involves a commitment to a series of appointments usually every 4-8 weeks (timeframes will vary for different stages of treatment). With high power and cooling protection it can offer permanent and painless removal of unwanted hair safely and is suitable for all skin types. Results do not come over night - laser removes roughly 20/30% of hairs per session, completion is different for everybody for various different factors, consistency is key. Once the hairs are gone they are gone forever we just recommend a top up session once a year to maintain.
Book in today for a free consultation including a patch test and start your journey to being completely hair free forever!
LASER DO's & DON'T's
-
You must come to your laser appointments with the treatment area shaved (preferably the night before) it will not work if the hairs are too long and you will need to rebook your session
-
It is important to stick to the appointment time frames recommended by your laser technician in order for the treatment to work (appointments can be anything between 4-8 weeks)
-
Shaving is the only hair removal method advised before, during and after your laser sessions, no plucking, waxing, hair removal creams etc
-
No sun exposure (including sunbeds) 2 weeks before and after your laser appointments
-
Treatment area must be clear of any deodorant, creams/lotions, makeup and most importantly fake tan - and we also advise not applying any for the following few days after your sessions either if you can, as the skin may be sensitive from the laser treatment and can be irritated by applying anything directly onto the skin immediately after
-
We recommend applying aloe vera gel to soothe the skin after laser treatment
-
Bring a list of any medications you are taking and keep us updated of any changes
-
After your laser sessions we advise leaving the hairs to grow out at least 10 days to 2 weeks for best results as this is the time when the hairs will shed naturally and more hairs will come out at this stage
-
Exfoliate the area regularly when washing as this will encourage more hairs to pop out
-
We recommend avoiding exercise/gym/sauna etc for 24 hours following your laser sessions
-
Laser does NOT work on white blonde hair
-
Average amount of sessions to work is between 8-10 but some people will need slightly more or less and this can depend on various factors such as; age, skin type, hair color, medical conditions, medications, hormones etc.
