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.

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.

Over a lifetime, women can spend vast amounts of money on hair removal products, whether that's disposable razors, electrolysis, depilatory creams or waxing, either doing them at home or having treatment in a beauty salon. 

We try to find new ways of getting rid of unwanted body hair, some of us preferring to shave, some will wax, pluck or use depilatory creams, while others prefer laser hair removal to get rid of the hair permanently.

Getting rid of hairy legs, underarms or even that embarrassing upper lip and chin hair can work out costly, and you might think that having laser hair removal treatment would be more expensive than these treatments, but in fact over a lifetime, it works out much cheaper. Shaving, plucking, waxing and creams are time-consuming and what's more, only temporary. Laser hair removal can give 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

Depending on the area, treatment can take from 10 minutes for the upper lip to 45 minutes for the back. The laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair, and the intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle without harming the surrounding skin, stopping future hair growth. 

Advanced Laser Technology offers a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair. 

Laser hair removal treatment has many benefits;

• For small areas the procedure time can take as little as 15 minutes
• The treatment course is six treatments, four weeks apart
• After treatment you can go back to work the following day
• The results last for one year plus
• Local anaesthetic makes any discomfort minimal
• You'll see final results after twelve weeks

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. 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.

Laser hair removal treatments have been around for a few years now and they still rank 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, pluck or wax is tempting, then laser hair removal is the way to go.
