LASER HAIR REMOVAL
WHAT IS HAIR REMOVAL?
hair removal has been successfully used in cosmetic industry for several years providing satisfactory results. This simple treatment can totally replace the tedious task of having to shave, tweeze or wax unwanted hair on most parts of the body. Use light and electric pulses to heat the hair follicle and destroy its roots without damaging the surrounding tissue or skin. By targeting the follicle, Laser hair removal treatments inhibit any future hair growth.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE:
After a session of laser hair removal (particularly on sensitive areas) it is normal to feel a sensation of warmth in the area, slightly similar to that of a very mild sunburn. The skin may also appear red in colour and the area around the follicle itself may become raised, these normal side effects usually disappear 24-48hrs after each session. You will notice that these side effects are more obvious after the first few sessions when hair in the area is thick and coarse. Over the course of your treatments hair will begin to thin out and become finer which will cause these side effects to become less noticeable after each session of laser.
