Hair Reduction using laser or electrolysis are safe and popular treatment for people with any skin tone.
It is less time consuming and more permanent than shaving, tweezing, creams and waxing. Although electrolysis can permanently remove hair, it is extremely slow and painful.
Hair grows in cycles and Laser impairs the growth of hairs from hair follicles in the active growth phase. A course of treatments reduce the hair follicles in the active growth phase at different times.
You will be asked to only shave (not wax, or pluck) the area to be treated before any treatment session. Hair removal from certain areas, such as the upper lip, may need local anaesthetic cream prior to treatment. Laser light works by following the hair colour pigment in darker hair colours (such as brown and black) down to the hair follicle. This means blonde, red, white and grey hair cannot be treated by Laser.
Hair removal by Electrolysis is used to treat these lighter hair colours By inserting a fine needle no thicker than a hair, the hair follicle is heated preventing new hair growth. It is also a useful treatment for areas of sparser but annoying hair growth or for eyebrows.
