Laser Treatment to Remove Unwanted Facial Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Hair growth is a major problem for many people and though growth of hair with time is normal, it's the places where it grows on the face and body that can become a big problem. We have hair follicles everywhere on the body except for on the lips, palms of the hands and soles of the feet, so it’s no surprise that many of us are spending far too much time shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted hair.

Hair on the face is a common problem that affects a lot of people, and there's a few things that cause this to happen. It could be hereditary or maybe because of your ethnic heritage, there are those who have excessive facial hair because of medical conditions or it could even be due to hormonal changes associated with the menopause.

Hair can appear on different areas of the face including:

* Upper lip
* Chin
* Jaw line
* Sideburns
* Eyebrows
* Cheeks

Facial hair that's excessive or unsightly is a cause for concern for lots of women as it needs regular maintenance to keep it under control. Excess hair anywhere can lead to low self-esteem, and although it's common to have unwanted hair on the face it can cause embarrassment to women and really affect their self-confidence. Removing the hair is the best solution, although you may find that waxing, threading and plucking hair can become irritating and painful, often leaving the skin sore and red. This can cause stress and embarrassment, and it can need regular maintenance to keep it under control.

Remedies and treatments include:

• Shaving, waxing, threading and plucking techniques which are time-consuming and temporary.
• Electrolysis permanently removes hair by using heat, but it's an extremely slow and painful method and can leave scarring.
• Medicated creams can also be used, although side-effects such as skin rashes and irritation may occur when using this method.
• Laser hair removal can treat small and large areas quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Removing facial hair with laser treatment is a quick procedure that gives great results. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser energy and then this energy converts to heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle without causing any harm to the surrounding skin, and this stops the hair growing in the damaged follicle. With laser treatment, there's only minimal discomfort, usually just a minor stinging sensation to the skin upon application of the laser pulses, but topical anaesthetic cream can make any treatment more comfortable.

Laser Treatment For Unwanted Facial Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

For women, one of the most embarrassing beauty issues is female facial hair, and whether it's dark, coarse hairs or a sprinkling of pale peach fuzz, it's always an unwanted problem. A bit of hair on the top lip, cheeks, hairline and chin is normal on women, although this hair is usually light and fair, making it quite difficult to see. It becomes a problem when the facial hair starts to get thicker and coarser, and that's usually when women look into having hair removal treatment.

Unwanted facial hair in women is a result of:

• Hormone imbalance.
• Genetic and ethnic predisposition.
• Underlying medical condition.
• Being overweight.
• Perimenopause and menopause

Most women spend valuable time trying to get rid of unwanted hair., whether it's the hair on the legs, bikini line, eyebrows, chin or the upper lip. We use a variety of methods, waxing, plucking, shaving, threading and bleaching, which are all time-consuming, irritating and painful, with regrowth coming back quickly and often thicker than before. But there is an alternative. Laser hair removal treatment offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair, which will save you both time and money in the long run.

Laser hair removal is a gentle and effective way to permanently remove unwanted hair from almost any area of the body, and it not only leaves smooth, natural looking skin, it's also the safest and most effective way to create permanent hair reduction, and has become the number one solution to removing unwanted hair. Laser hair removal can give long-lasting results, and small and large areas can easily be treated quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Laser hair removal typically needs six to eight treatments but the exact number of treatments varies from person to person. The laser treatment is quick, a small area like the facial hair and the armpits can take as little as fifteen minutes, with larger areas like the back or legs taking up to forty-five minutes, depending on the size.

After you've had the laser treatment, you will experience shedding of the treated hair. At first, it might look as though the hair is growing back, but it's just coming through the skin and will shed. The shedding of the lasered hair begins a week after the treatment and it can last a for a further three weeks. To help speed up the shedding process you can exfoliate the areas gently as you shower.

Laser Away Unwanted Face & Body Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our hair is an important part of our body and it's even known as our crowning glory. Hair can grow on many parts of the body and it looks fantastic on such places such as the scalp, eyelashes, and the eyebrows, but hair might be unwelcome on other parts of the face and body. All of us have hair, but the normal amount of face and body hair varies from person to person, usually it's fair and fine and is difficult to see, but those with darker hair are not so lucky.

For women, the hair on the upper lip, chin, cheeks and sideburns can all be very embarrassing and cause a great deal of insecurity. It seems that every time you think you've disposed of unwanted hair, you'll find more of it sprouting up somewhere else, and even after you get rid of the hairs, they just grow back.

Removing unwanted hair is time-consuming and repetitive no matter what your preferred hair removal method is, and whether you shave, pluck, wax, thread or use depilatory creams, the hair will always grow back. You'll find the skin on your face is sensitive and constantly using harsh hair removal treatments can actually cause a great deal of skin irritation.

You can cover up excess hair in areas that aren't constantly exposed, but the hair on your face is always on display, and it can seem like everyone is looking at the hairs on your upper lip, chin or sideburns. A good way to get rid of unwanted hair is with laser hair removal treatment.

Over the last couple of decades the demand for hair removal from both men and women alike has grown immensely making it one of the fastest growing treatments within the cosmetic industry.

Benefits of laser hair removal:

• It permanently reduces hair
• It's a fast treatment time
• The results will boost your self-confidence
• Prevents razor bumps and irritation
• Laser treatment causes only minimal discomfort

Everyone is different. Some people have more hair than others, and some have different skin tones and textures, which all contribute to the number of laser treatments you'll need. Most people will need about 6 to 10 sessions to see optimal and effective results. Most clients experience minimal discomfort; some may experience a minor stinging or pinching sensation on the skin as we deliver the laser pulses, but we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make treatments more comfortable.

Laser Away Unwanted Face & Body Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's always somewhere on our body that we get unwanted hair causing us embarrassment, especially when it shows up on areas where people think women should be hair-free. There are many methods of hair removal available but unfortunately the results are only temporary, but laser treatment has proven over many years, that it's the best form of long-lasting hair removal.

Hair removal is probably one of the most annoying beautifying treatments that we have to put ourselves through. There are just so many methods of hair removal, most of which are painful, time-consuming and can cost us a fortune for the constant upkeep. 

• Shaving:  can cause nasty nicks and causes sensitive skin and shaving rashes
• Threading: it stings a little and the area around the eyebrows might turn pink for a few hours
• Bleaching: only colours the hair and doesn't remove it. A tingling sensation while the bleach is working is normal, but it's not too uncomfortable
• Plucking: is slow, tedious and somewhat painful and it's not recommended for large areas of hair. Improper plucking may cause ingrowing hairs
• Depilatory Creams: don't smell very pleasant, and they are messy and time-consuming
• Waxing: it's a possibility that wax treatments will prove moderately painful as the hair gets ripped out at the root and can it also result in ingrowing hairs
• Electrolysis: can permanently remove hair but it's an extremely slow, drawn out and painful method, and worryingly it can sometimes result in scarring
• Laser Hair Removal: this will cost you a little more, but the results will last a lifetime and it will save you money long-term as you won't have to constantly pay out for razors, creams or waxing strips

Perhaps this is why so many people, women and men, are beginning to turn to laser hair removal as a more permanent solution. This is a very popular method of permanent hair reduction with women, and more increasingly with men.

Using laser hair removal, hair is permanently removed from the:

• Upper Lip: Upper lip hair seems more noticeable on women with dark hair
• Chin: Chin hair can sprout on young or older women. The only problem is that when they grow back, they seem to come back thicker
• Forearms: Hairy forearms aren't a great look when wearing sleeveless tops and dresses, and accessories like bracelets and watches can get caught in your arm hair
• Underarms: Most people consider underarm hair on women as unhygienic and unsightly. Most ordinary people would sooner have hair-free armpits
• Legs: In winter we can hide hairy legs under trousers and tights, but in the summer we all want them hair-free. This is a must for a smooth, even application when you're applying fake tan
• Bikini Line: Shaving a bikini line can result in rashes and bumps, and waxing can irritate the skin and cause little 'chicken skin' bumps around the hair follicles
• Back: Of all the places that the body sprouts hair, for men the back is probably the worse. Some women like chest hair on a man but a back full of hair is definitely not a turn on

Laser hair removal laser technology is a safe and effective way to permanently remove unwanted body and facial hair. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser energy, and this is then converted to heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle without harming the surrounding skin. This results in hair growth being stopped in the damaged follicle.

Treatment times depend on the area, from 10 minutes for the upper lip to 45 minutes for the back. Most clients experience minimal discomfort; some may experience a minor stinging sensation as the laser pulses treat the skin, but a topical anaesthetic cream will make the treatments more comfortable.

Laser Away Unwanted Hair on the Face & Body - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all have unwanted hair somewhere on our bodies which can cause us great embarrassment. It can sometimes take a severe toll on our self-esteem and on our social lives, especially when appearing on places that are usually not deemed 'feminine'. There are many hair removal methods available, but mostly the results we get from them are only temporary. Laser treatment has proven, over many years, that it's the best form of long-lasting hair removal.

Hair removal is probably one of the most annoying beautifying treatments that we put ourselves through. There are just so many methods of hair removal, most of which are time-consuming, can cost us a fortune for the constant upkeep and cause us pain. Perhaps this is why so many people, women as well as men, are starting to turn to laser hair removal as a more permanent solution. This is a very popular method of permanent hair reduction with women, and more increasingly with men.

Using laser hair removal, hair is permanently removed from the:

• Upper Lip: Upper lip hair seems more noticeable on women with dark hair, but whether fair or dark, we all find it embarrassing.
• Chin: Chin hair can sprout on young, or older women. They promptly get plucked out but as time progresses another one inevitably grows in its place. The only problem is that when they grow back, they seem to come back thicker.
• Forearms: Sleeveless tops and dresses are not really a great idea when you have hairy forearms. Accessorising is also a minefield when bracelets and watches tug on your arm hair.
• Underarms: In most cultures, people consider women with underarm hair as unhygienic and unsightly. These days, most people would sooner have hair free armpits.
• Legs: In winter we can hide hairy legs under trousers and tights. But come the summer and it's time for the yearly ritual of unveiling the legs and we all want them hair free. They are a must if you are applying fake tan, for a smooth, even application.
• Bikini Line: Being caught out with an untrimmed bikini line is every woman's nightmare. Shaving can result in rashes and bumps and waxing can irritate the skin and cause little 'chicken skin' bumps around the hair follicles.
• Back: This affects men and some women. Of all the places that the body sprouts hair, for men the back is probably the most universally despised. It seems that some women approve of chest hair but find back hair is definitely not a good look.

Laser hair removal technology offers a safe and effective way to take away unwanted body and facial hair, permanently. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser energy, and this is then converted to heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle without harming the surrounding skin. This results in hair growth being stopped in the damaged follicle.

Treatment times depend on the area, from 10 minutes for the upper lip to 45 minutes for the back. Most clients experience minimal discomfort; some may experience a minor stinging sensation as the laser pulses treat the skin. A topical anaesthetic cream makes the treatments more comfortable. Only 30% of your hair is usually in the growth phase at any one time and the laser can only target these. Therefore, for achieving long-term results, a series of treatments are necessary.

Remove Unwanted Hair with Laser Technology - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Autumn really is the best time for laser hair removal, with the warm days of summer winding down, and the cooler weather meaning the start of covering up in thick tights, jumpers and scarves. Over the summer months we remove excess or unwanted hair by shaving, waxing, plucking or even threading, but these methods are sometimes painful, they need repeating and can cause unsightly rashes and even ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal treatment can offer a permanent alternative, which in the long run can save us a lot of time and money.

Unwanted hair can grow in lots of embarrassing places, some of it we can keep hidden, and what we can't hide, we can easily remove. We all have facial hair but usually it's very fair and can go unnoticed. There are many women who notice the occasional straggling chin hair, and others with dark hair who can get hair on their upper lip that's quite noticeable. 

Unusual hair growth on women happens because of;

• Normal ageing process
• During pregnancy
• Hair growth can actually be stimulated by using temporary hair removal methods excessively
• Certain medications can cause a reaction
• Genetics
• Insulin resistance issues
• Hormonal or glandular imbalances
• Hirsutism - a condition where an increased level of androgens in the body, can cause thick dark hair on the face, chest, abdomen and back

There's no such thing as a normal amount of facial hair on women, and how much we have varies from person to person. Some might have a small amount of hair on the face and body, while others might have a lot, and while we all have some hair, genetics and ethnicity can also dictate our facial hair patterns and how much we get. 

More people these days are opting for long-lasting, convenient hair removal using laser treatment. Using advanced laser technology, can conveniently remove unwanted hair successfully on most areas. Laser treatment is non-invasive and can easily treat large areas of hair growth over a short amount of time.

Under arm laser hair removal

The laser targets the colour pigment of the hair and passes gently through the skin reaching the hair follicle. The hair follicle absorbs the energy and damages the follicle enough to stop its growth. Over time, this leaves smooth, silky skin with a hair follicle that no longer produces hair. 

It's unrealistic to expect all unwanted hair to disappear with laser treatment, and we recommend a treatment course of six treatments, four weeks apart to give significant results. Over time, conventional methods can become tiresome and frustrating, and that's why laser hair removal has grown popular, especially for the women and men with busy lifestyles.

Lose Unwanted Facial & Body Hair With Laser Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's fabulous to have a full head of hair, you can curl it, straighten it, colour or plait it, but what happens when you have lots of hair but it's not on your head? It's a sad fact that we frown upon facial and body hair when it's on women, and it's usually seen as an embarrassing problem that needs resolving.

When you have noticeable facial hair on your upper lip or under the chin, or maybe you have tufts of hair on your toes, belly, or even your back, it can cause emotions ranging from being mildly annoyed to severely distressed. If you’re not pleased with the level of hair that your body naturally produces, you might want to think about solutions.

Facial and body hair on women is actually quite common, but there's a social stigma attached to visible facial hair, that makes most women go to great lengths to remove it. All women have, at one time or another, plucked out a hair from the chin or the upper lip or tidied up a mono brow, and it's part of most women’s daily routine to shave the legs and armpits, but over time you might find you're starting to spend longer periods ridding yourself of unwanted hair.

The time and money spent on hair removal can mount up over time, and this can lead people into getting rid of this hair on a longer term basis. Unwanted hair growth on visible areas, painful ingrown hairs, waxing burns and irritations and skin caught painfully between the tweezers are a major cause of people seeking out a solution to rid themselves of unwanted hair, permanently.

Treatments for unwanted hair:

Plucking - Your face and body hair won't grow back differently just because you've plucked it, the plucking method won't make the hair grow back thicker and coarser. Plucked hair will stay away longer because the hair is removed at its root, and isn't just taken off at the skin's surface.

Waxing - is a popular method of removing hair on the legs, and especially the bikini line. For the safest and most effective results, wax treatment are best when they're done by professionals. With waxing you have to be careful you don't get an irritation or infection around the hair follicles.

Bleach and depilatory creams - these are temporary as they remove the hair from the skin's surface and not from the root. Many women find them too irritating because when the chemicals in the creams dissolve, they can irritate the skin surrounding the hair.

Laser energy - this offers long-lasting results after a course of treatments. It's suitable for men and women, most skin types and all areas of the body, although it's best when used on dark hair and light skin. It's a very safe and effective treatment for most people, although it won't work on white hair and doesn't work well on blonde hair either.

Long lasting results can now be obtained with laser hair removal, and this treatment is a better alternative as small and large areas can be treated quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Laser Hair Removal Can Get You Hair-Free For Summer - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Many people, women, and men feel concerned about the excessive amount of unwanted hair they find growing on different parts of their body, however, there are a number of options available for you to consider when it comes to removing the hair. You might consider shaving, using depilatory creams, waxing, plucking or electrolysis, but one of the most popular cosmetic procedures used today is laser hair removal, which is a treatment that has long-lasting results.

Some women find that hair on the face is particularly embarrassing and can experience a loss of confidence as a result of unsightly facial hair. Unwanted hair can grow just about anywhere on the  body, and while hairy legs, backs and chests can easily be covered up, hair on the upper lip, chin and eyebrows are always visible. Most women use at least one method of removing unwanted hair, but in general, younger women are more likely to keep on top of their hair removal regime.

Laser hair removal treatment removes hair from:

• The upper lip,
• The chin; the beard and jaw line
• Nose, neck and ears
• Underarms and arms
• Legs and bikini line
• Chest and abdomen
• Back and shoulders

Shaving, waxing, threading and creams can turn into a very time-consuming lifetime chore and these treatments often cause annoying skin irritations, ranging from mild to severe and they can last for days or weeks. They can cause cuts, nicks, redness, scaliness, bumps on the skin and ingrown hairs.

You can have laser hair removal anywhere on the body, and the laser machine can cover large areas quickly and safely. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, our advanced laser system uses a focused beam of light and heat which penetrates the hair follicle at its root, to stop hair growth, but which will preserve the surrounding skin. The laser has a cooled sapphire window on the laserscope to further protect and cool the surface of the skin, while still letting the laser light heat the hair follicle beneath the skin.

Laser hair reduction results;

• Allows you to enjoy longer-term smooth, hair-free skin
• Is suitable for most areas of the body and skin types
• Will stop painful rashes, infections and in-grown hairs
• It's a safe, effective and convenient treatment
• You'll get long-lasting results

It's considered that laser hair removal is one of the most successful methods of hair removal invented, as it has a lasting and permanent effect, compared to other traditional hair removal methods, where hair tends to re-grow within 3 to 7 days after the treatment or application.

Be Hair Free With Laser Treatment at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Did you know that around five million hair follicles cover the human body? After our heads, the highest concentration of hair is in our nostrils! Having facial hair and body hair isn't a bad thing; it provides much-needed insulation during the cold winter months, helping to regulate our body temperature and nostril hairs and eyelashes keep dirt and dust out of our bodies.

Unwanted hair, especially on the face, is a particular concern with women, often causing embarrassment and insecurity as it's so visible, but over time plucking hairs from the chin, bleaching your upper lip hair and shaving your legs and armpits becomes repetitive and time-consuming. The main reason we go through all this hair management is the same reason we do all the other forms of grooming and personal care we perform upon ourselves - because most women want a neat and tidy appearance.

Laser treatment can eliminate unwanted hair on the:

• Upper lip
• Chin
• Back
• Chest
• Legs
• Under arms
• Bikini area

On occasion, both men and women struggle with unwanted hair problems, but the problem areas are in different places. Men seem to want hair on their face, women don’t. Women have a full head of hair and this is where lots of men often lose it. Men can walk about will hairy legs, where this is a definite no-no for most women. Having some facial and body hair is perfectly normal, it's todays fashion that calls for us to appear smooth and hairless. Removing hair on the chest is becoming more popular, and whether it's a bit of manscaping for the men, or you've just found a few long hairs sprouting from your nipples, then laser hair removal has you covered.

For women, finding hairs on the chin or the upper lip can be traumatic, so it doesn't hurt to do some maintenance.

There are several ways to remove excessive hair; including;

• Natural home methods such as sugar waxing
• Plucking with tweezers is ideal for areas where only a few unwanted hairs appear
• Waxing which has the same result but on a larger scale
• Threading is basically hair plucking. It's done with a cotton thread that's rolled across the skin, catching the hair and pulling it out
• Electrolysis is best suited for women with white or very blond hair and those who are not too hairy
• Laser treatment is an effective alternative and a course of treatments and is a permanent solution to having smooth, hair-free skin. Laser hair reduction is faster and more effective on dark and coarse hair. 

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that should only be done by a qualified professional. It's an extremely precise treatment as the laser can selectively target the hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. If you have extremely fair or grey hair, the lasers mightn't be able to grasp the pigment in your hair. Each pulse of the laser takes a minute fraction of time and can treat many hairs at the same time. Laser hair removal results are significant and can remove unwanted hair permanently.

Laser treatment can;

• Let you enjoy longer-term smooth, hair-free skin
• Stops irritating rashes, infections and in-grown hairs
• Suitable for most skin types and areas on the body
• A safe, effective and convenient treatment for most people
• Long-lasting results are achievable

Facial hair can appear on different areas of the face including;

• Lip
• Chin

Facial hair that's excessive, unsightly or unwanted is a cause for concern for most women and can lead to low self-esteem. Although it's common, unwanted female facial hair can cause embarrassment to women and really affect their self-confidence. Removing the hair is the best solution, although you may find that waxing and plucking facial hair can become irritating and painful, but if you’re not happy with shaving, plucking, or waxing, then laser hair removal is worth considering as an alternative option, as it offers long-term results.

Remedies and treatments include;

1. Using shaving, waxing, threading and plucking techniques are time-consuming and temporary.
2. Electrolysis permanently removes hair by using heat, but it's an extremely slow and painful method and could leave behind some signs of scarring.
3. Reducing the growth of unwanted facial hair using medicated creams can also be used, although side-effects such as skin rashes and irritation may occur with this method.

Laser Treatment for Ladies Unwanted Facial Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Beards might look great on the blokes, but not so much on the ladies. For women, one of the most embarrassing beauty issues is female facial hair, whether it's dark, coarse hairs or a sprinkling of pale peach fuzz.

Some facial hair on the upper lip, cheeks, hairline and chin is normal on women, although it can sometimes be quite hard to see as the hair is usually light and fair. It's when the facial hair develops thicker and coarser, that makes a woman want to seek hair removal treatment.

It's the male hormone testosterone that causes men to grow facial hair, but it's also quite normal for women to have low levels of testosterone in their body. Sometimes however, the hormones become unbalanced and this causes the testosterone levels to increase, and one result of this is thicker, coarser facial hair.

Facial hair in women is a result of :
Hormone imbalance.
Genetic and ethnic predisposition.
Underlying medical condition.
Being overweight.
Perimenopause and menopause

Most women wage a frequent battle against unwanted hair. Whether it's the hair on our legs, bikini lines, eyebrows, chins or the upper lip, over time we've tried all the hair removal tools at our disposal;

• Waxing
• Plucking
• Shaving
• Threading
• Bleaching

These methods are time-consuming, irritating and painful, and the hair comes back quickly and often thicker than before. But there is an alternative. Laser hair removal treatment offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair, which will save you both time and money in the long run.

Minimal discomfort might be experienced during laser treatment, just a minor stinging sensation on the skin when the we apply the laser pulses. Topical anaesthetic cream can easily be applied to the skin before the procedure, making treatments more comfortable.

Laser hair removal is a gentle and effective way to permanently remove unwanted hair from almost any area of the body. During the treatment, light gets absorbed by the melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy effectively destroys the hair follicle by heating the pigment, without damaging any of the surrounding cells, and then a short pulse of light simultaneously targets and destroys many of the hair follicles.

Laser hair removal not only creates smooth, natural looking skin, it's also the safest and most effective way to create permanent hair reduction, and has become the number one solution to removing unwanted hair. Laser hair removal can give long-lasting results and the treatment is a better alternative, as we can treat small and large areas quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Laser Hair Removal for Unwanted Facial Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we see hairy men, most of us see it as a sign of virility; but on women, excess hair is embarrassing and unwanted. We see women in the media who always seem to look perfect, and it's difficult for us ordinary folk to match up to this ideal. Because we have hair in places we'd rather not, we tend to shave, pluck or wax excess hair from every area of exposed skin.

Removing unwanted hair is time-consuming and repetitive no matter what your preferred hair removal technique is, and whether you shave, tweeze, wax, thread or use depilatory creams, the hair will always grow back. You'll find the skin on your face is sensitive, and constantly using harsh hair removal treatments can cause a great deal of skin irritation.

All women have hair on the face, usually it's fair and fine and is difficult to see, but those will darker hair are not so lucky. You will find that most of your female friends have the same issues when it comes to unwanted facial hair, and the hair on the upper lip, chin and sideburns can all be very embarrassing and cause a great deal of insecurity. It seems that every time you think you've disposed of  unwanted hair, you'll find more of it sprouting up somewhere else, and even worse, after you get rid of the hairs, they just grow back.

You can cover up your excess hair in areas that aren't constantly exposed, but the hair on your face is always on display, and it can seem as though everyone is always looking at the hairs on your upper lip, chin or sideburns, but you can get rid of it with laser hair removal.

Benefits of laser hair removal:

• Permanently reduces hair safely
• Fast treatment time
• Boosts your self-confidence
• Prevents razor bumps and irritation
• Minimal discomfort

Laser energy gets absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, this laser energy is then converted to heat causing thermal damage to the follicle without harming the surrounding skin. This results in hair growth being stopped in the damaged follicle. Generally for white skin we require around 6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, and this usually results in 80% of hair removal. Darker or black skin may need around 8 treatments, resulting again in 80% of hair removed.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort; some may experience a minor stinging or pinching sensation on the skin as we deliver the laser pulses, but we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make treatments more comfortable. At Selston Cosmetic Clinics we can perform laser hair removal treatment on white or black skin. It's not possible to treat white, grey, and blond hair by laser.

Saving money - Although laser hair removal may seem expensive, it's permanent, so when you add up the cost of what you spend over a lifetime, on shaving, waxing, plucking or hair removal creams, it becomes a great investment.
Saving time - Once the need for your weekly shaving or monthly waxing is over, you will no longer have to spend your lunch hour having your bikini line waxed and you can spend less time in the shower, now you don't have to shave your armpits and legs. Hair removal is very time-consuming and it's said that the average UK woman will spend a total of four months of their life removing unwanted body hair.
Renews self-confidence -  Unwanted hair in undesirable places can take a toll on the self-esteem, whether it's a man with an excessive hairy back or chest or a woman with embarrassing facial hair. Laser hair removal can take away the unwanted hair and help you get back that lost confidence.
Improves skin - Removing your hair with laser hair removal can give you much smoother, silkier skin than any other hair removal methods.

Laser hair removal isn't an instant solution, the hair won’t disappear straight after the first treatment. Generally you will need around 6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, which usually results in 80% of hair removal. Depending on which area you are treating, it can take from 10 minutes for the upper lip to 45 minutes for the back. Most clients only experience minimal discomfort; some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin as we deliver the Laser pulses and we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make treatments more comfortable.

Laser Hair Removal for Unwanted Facial & Body Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Summer is just around the corner and women are already beginning to worry about the state of their legs. In winter, hairy legs can go unnoticed for weeks, however it is harder to cover them up during the sunnier weather, unless you are planning to wear trousers throughout the summer!

For lots of women, finding a way to achieve smooth, hairless summer legs seems like a mission impossible. Every year, women try to find new ways to tackle unwanted body hair, with some preferring to shave, some waxing, plucking or using depilatory creams, while others prefer to get rid of the hair permanently, and go for laser hair removal.

Over a lifetime, women spend thousands of pounds on hair removal products, whether that is disposable razors, electrolysis, depilatory creams and sprays or waxing, either at home or in a beauty salons. It’s certainly not cheap having to de-fuzz hairy legs, underarms or even that embarrassing upper lip and chin hair! You might think that laser hair removal would be more expensive than these treatments, but over a lifetime, it works out much cheaper.

Shaving, plucking, waxing and creams are all time-consuming and what's more, only temporary. Although electrolysis can permanently remove hair, it's a very slow and painful hair removal treatment, and it can sometimes result in scarring. Laser hair removal can achieve long-lasting results, treating both large and small areas quickly and effectively.

Area's for hair removal:

• Upper lip
• Chin
• Forearms
• Underarms
• Legs
• Bikini line
• Back

When you think of all the nicks and cuts from shaving, the painful ingrown hairs, the red bumps, overall itchiness and the trauma of strange women pouring wax on your nether regions, while you lay with your legs splayed out in the air... well, there just has to be a better way! No-one likes being hairy, especially in places that aren't supposed to be hairy.

Laser hair removal procedures have been around for  a few years now and still ranks as one of the most popular beauty treatments out there, and it's not going anywhere, anytime soon.

So if the thought of not having to shave is tempting, then laser hair removal is the way to go. The laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, without harming the surrounding skin, and stops future hair growth. Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses the most advanced Laser Technology to offer a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair.

Benefits:

• Procedure Time - small areas from 15 minutes
• Treatment Course - 6 treatments, 4 weeks apart
• Back to Work - the next day
• Duration of Results - 1 year plus
• Anaesthetic - Local
• Results Seen - 12 Weeks

Depending on the area, treatment can take from 10 minutes for the upper lip to 45 minutes for the back. Most clients experience minimal discomfort, some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin as we deliver the laser pulses. We offer a topical anaesthetic cream to make treatments more comfortable.

The Selston Cosmetic Clinic's advanced laser system is equipped with a cooled sapphire window on our laserscope to further protect and cool the surface of the skin, while allowing laser light to heat the hair follicle beneath the skin. Only 30% of your hair is usually in the growth phase at any one time and the laser can only target these. Therefore a series of treatments are required to achieve long-term results.

Once your treatment session is complete, you are free to resume your normal routine. Some clients might experience a slight redness in the treated area, but this should resolve in a day or two.

Then you are free to experience a hair-free summer!

Botox - Vaser Lipo - Lip Enhancement - Laser Hair Removal & more - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Winter is nearly over and Spring is just around the corner! We've all gained a few pounds over Christmas, we've neglected our face and can't even remember the last time we shaved our legs! Well now is the time to think about getting the face and body back into tip top condition.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can sort out all your face and body needs. We have all sorts of treatments which can help you to maintain your positive body image, self-esteem and confidence.

What treatments are available?

• BOTOX - Are you noticing frown lines on the forehead and crows feet around the eyes? Botox is now one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the UK. It's a safe and fast way to banish fine lines and wrinkles. We specialise in giving a soft natural look to your face and botox treatment is customised especially for you, as everyone's face is individual. Botox will leave your face looking smoother, younger, more relaxed and healthy. The Botox procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and you can go back to work straight after treatment.

• VASER LIPO - This treatment is the selective removal of stubborn fat from various parts of the body to give the client a slimmer, toned and more defined body that could not have been achieved by exercise or diet. There are many parts of the body that can benefit from Vaser Lipo including the tummy, hips and buttocks. Also the flabby under arms (bingo wings) and inner and outer thighs. Men can benefit greatly with vaser lipo on the male breasts (moobs) and from getting definition for the six pack look. The area to be treated with vaser lipo is given a local anaesthetic via very tiny incisions, then the ultrasound is delivered using thin Vaser probes which break up and emulsify the fat. The liquefied fat is removed by tiny Vaser cannulas. The procedure can take between 2 - 3 hours.

• LIP ENHANCEMENT / AUGMENTATION - The upper and lower lip can have a dermal filler injected, giving more volume and substance to the lip. The insertion of fillers for lip enhancement can balance and give definition to the lips. The specialised lip fillers we use are hyaluronic acid based and this substance is naturally found in the body. We can give your lips the outline and definition that time has destroyed.  Lip enhancement treatment takes about 30 minutes.

• LASER HAIR REMOVAL - Many people have areas of unwanted hair and are desperate for it to be removed. For men this could be area on the back, chest or facial hair. Women can also have areas of facial hair and this can often be a great cause of embarrassment. Upper lip hair on ladies is never a good look and on dark haired women it's even more noticeable and hairs on the chin are also a definite no-no for the ladies! Using laser hair removal technology, hair can be removed almost permanently from lots of areas : Upper lip, Chin, Forearms, Underarms, Legs, Bikini line and Back. Laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, this laser energy is then converted to heat causing thermal damage to the follicle without harming the surrounding skin, stopping the hair growing back in the damaged follicle. Depending on the area, the laser hair removal treatment can take between 10 minutes to 1 hour.

Laser Hair Removal


We all have some unwanted hair somewhere on our bodies which causes us embarrassment. It can sometimes take a severe toll on our self esteem and also on our social lives.
Especially when it appears on places that are usually not deemed to be 'feminine'

Shaving, threading, bleaching, plucking, depilatory cream and waxing are all time consuming, and what is worse is that these results are only temporary.
Electrolysis can permanently remove hair but is an extremely slow, drawn out and painful method and worryingly can sometimes result in scarring.

Perhaps this is why so many people, women and men, are beginning to turn to Laser Hair Removal as a more permanent solution.

Using Laser Hair Removal, hair can be removed almost permanently from the :

Upper Lip.   Now, I have absolutely nothing against a nice moustache, just not on a woman ! A hairy lip seems to be more noticeable on dark haired ladies, but whether fair or dark, we all find it embarrassing.

Chin.   Women despair when a chin hair appears. They can sprout on young, or older ladies. They promptly get plucked out but as time progresses another one inevitably grows in it's place ! The only problem is that when they grow back, they seem to come back thicker.

Forearms.   Strappy tops and sleeveless dresses are not really a great idea when you have hairy forearms like Chewbacca ! Accessorising is also a bit dodgy when bracelets tug on your arm hair. Even technology is against hairy arms - the Apple watch has had sensors removed after arm hair interfered with it's new features !

Underarms.    Hairy underarms are at present having a mainstream moment, what with singer Miley Cyrus and actress Jemima Kirke showing off their armpit growth on Instagram and YouTube.
And who can forget the media outrage when Julia Roberts revealed her hairy armpits on the red carpet at her film premier a few years ago ?
In most cultures, hairy underarms on ladies are considered an unhygienic and unpleasant sight and for the majority of us everyday people, we would sooner be sporting hair free pits !

Legs.   Hairy legs ! Who needs them. In winter at least we can hide them under trousers and tights. But come summer and it's time for the yearly ritual of unveiling the legs and we all want to get our legs out in the sunshine and on the beach.
Hair free legs are a must if you are applying fake tan, for a smooth, even application.

Bikini line.   Being caught out with an untrimmed bikini line is a woman's worst nightmare. With it being such a delicate area, care is needed in the hair removal treatment. Shaving can result in rashes and bumps and waxing can irritate the skin and cause little 'chicken skin' bumps around the hair follicles.

Back.   This affects men and some women. Of all the places that the body sprouts hair, for men the back is probably the most universally despised. It seems that for some ladies chest hair can be considered sexy but a sweater-full of back hair is definitely not !

Laser Hair Removal is a very popular method of permanent hair reduction with women, and more increasingly with men and it is a very popular treatment at the Selston Cosmetic Clinic.
Laser energy is used which causes damage to the hair follicles which in turn stops the growth of new hair in the damaged follicle.

So why not get yourself ready for next Summer? No more plucking, waxing, bleaching or threading. Just imagine the time you will save !
