Laser Hair Removal
The long term solution to unwanted hair
Ditch the razor for the laser
At Skin Sensations we offer a safe, long-term solution to unwanted hair for both Men and Women. Treatment is suitable for the face and body, results can be seen after just a few sessions. We use two different kinds of laser technologies IPL and ND Yag, ensuring we can offer the most suitable treatment for you, your skin tone and hair colour.
Unlike traditional IPL hair removal systems, the Award winning Lynton Lumina laser is a premium laser which means that we can treat all skin types.
How the treatment works
Light is selectively absorbed by the melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy heats the pigment and effectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding cells.
How many treatments are necessary?
It is important that all hairs are caught in their growth phase so a minimum of 6 treatments are necessary to achieve a significant reduction in hair growth. A course of laser treatments is usually required at 4 – 8 weekly intervals However, please note, the amount of treatments required vary dependent on each patient’s hair growth. This will all be established during your consultation.
How is the treatment carried out?
A thin layer of gel is applied to the skin for the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Laser is then placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, which target many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of the skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is covered.
Am I suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment, Best results are often achieved with clients who have fair skin and dark hair, Dark hair is more easily treated as it has a high concentration of melanin. Fair hair, however, contains less melanin and is harder to treat. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if treatment will be successful for you.
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment sensation varies but is often described as a ‘flick of an elastic band’. No anaesthetic is required and most clients describe the discomforts as moderate and tolerable.
What will I see after treatment?
How long does each treatment take?
Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes and up to 1 hour, depending upon the size of area being treated.
Are there any side effects?
