Laser hair removal is a highly effective and proven way to remove and reduce unwanted hair from the face and body. An average six to eight treatments (some people do require more) will be required every six weeks to kill the hair follicles beneath the skin and prevent future growth.
ABOUT LASER
The treatment works as pulses of light are absorbed by the melanin in the hair. The melanin converts the light into heat which kills the follicle ensuring any hair is unable to re-grow.
The treatment is only effective when the hair is in its growth stage, this is because it's attached to the follicle. The majority of the hair will be in the resting stage (not attached to the follicle yet still in the skin).
This is why a number of treatments will be required to ensure that we have captured all the hairs within the growth stage, in the desired area, to deliver the results you will be completely satisfied with.

How Does It Work?Light is selectively absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, known as melanin. The light energy is applied to the skin resulting in a heating of the pigment. This effectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding cells, resulting in no more growth from the follicle.

Am I Suitable?Prior to any treatment at Tara Wiley Skin & Laser Clinic we always carry out a full medical consultation and assessment to ensure that there and no treatment contraindications. Most people are suitable for treatment. Best results are often achieved with clients who have fair skin and dark hair. Darker, thicker hair has a better response to treatment as it has a higher concentration of melanin with in the hair follicle.

Does It Hurt?Our laser uses the latest Crystal Freeze cooling technology which reduces any pain by up to 80%. Most clients will experience a warm tingling sensation throughout their treatments and we always ensure our clients feel comfortable during their laser hair removal sessions

How Many Sessions Will I Need?We recommend that most people will need at least 8 sessions to permanently reduce the hair, however please note that this will differ due to hormones. Everyones results are individual. Yearly top ups (1/2 sessions) may also be required to keep any stray hairs at bay.
-
What To Expect After?Once the hair follicles have been damaged by the heat the hair will remain in the follicles. The dead hair will normally shed after 1-3 weeks as the skin renews itself. During this period the hairs will seem to ‘grow’ as they are pushed out by the new skin
