LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Using the Soprano Xli diode laser, which has a wavelength of 810 nm, we are able to treat all skin types with the traditional target specific method or the latest fast and effective In-Motion method which is virtually painfree. 

The traditional Hair Removal method targets smaller areas of the body or areas that have sparse sections of hair growth as it directs the laser to the hair producing cells.  More energy is delivered using this method but the sensation is relatively comfortable.

The In-Motion technique builds up heat to destroy melanin and active cells around the hair bulb.  This helps to stop hair growth without harming the surrounding skin while treating bigger areas quickly.

 We are all individual, which means that varying hair growth cycles, our genetic background, our health and lifestyle factors affect the rate and speed of treatments.  But up to 20% of hair can eliminated in just one session, making laser hair removal a successful long term solution in hair reduction.  At the end of the course of six treatments, there is a 75-95% reduction in hair growth.

 A thorough consultation and patch test is required before a course of treatment in order to ascertain suitability of clients for laser hair removal.
