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

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.

Lose Your Unwanted Hair With Laser Treament - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unwanted hair on women can often be upsetting and lead to a lack of self-confidence. Facial hair, especially on women with dark hair, can cause embarrassment, so whether you're looking for smooth holiday ready legs, bikini line hair removal, or getting rid of a monobrow or a moustache, Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers the latest cutting-edge, safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for hair removal.

There are many drawbacks in dealing with unwelcome body hair, and the results of shaving and waxing; which are the most popular methods of hair removal can cause; discomfort,  itchy rashes and unsightly regrowth. The results from these methods can easily be short-lived, making the process time-consuming and if you're having the treatment done professionally, expensive.

There are many reason why people decide to have their unwanted hair removed:

To Save Money - Laser treatment, followed by a series of top up treatments might seem expensive, however when you add up what you will continue spending over a lifetime on shaving, waxing or other temporary methods, it becomes a great investment, which will get long-term results.

To Save Time - To take away the need for daily shaving or monthly waxing. Imagine never again having to miss your lunch hour to wax, or wake up early each morning to shave.

To Eliminate Ingrown Hairs - Ingrown hairs can look unsightly, make you feel uncomfortable and make you self-consciousness. By eliminating the hair through laser hair removal, you'll see the end of these troublesome hairs.

To Regain Self-Confidence - Whether you're a woman with unwanted facial hair, you might have hair in other undesired places, or you're a man with an overly hairy back or chest, you'll know that excessive or unwanted hair can take a toll on your self-esteem. Laser hair removal can remove unwanted hair and help you regain that lost confidence.

To Get Smoother Skin - Removing hair with laser hair removal can give you much smoother and sexier skin than any other hair removal methods. Also, with laser hair removal treatment there's no need to let the hair grow out, creating uncomfortable in-between growth stages.

Laser treatment effectively targets and treats actively growing hair follicles. Laser hair removal severely reduces any growth on unwanted facial and body hair when the laser energy passes over the treatment area. The energy attracts the pigment in the hair follicles, and it's then absorbed by the follicle where it transforms into heat. The heat cauterises the blood supply to the hair, making the follicle inactive.

Electrolysis is the only procedure to remove hair permanently in one single treatment, which shows in the high cost of the treatment. By contrast, laser treatment will remove hair, and in just one treatment will ensure that less hair grows back. The hair that does return is much finer than the previous hair and better still, it takes as few as six treatments to remove the hair altogether, permanently.

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

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

We go to great lengths taking care of our skin; by cleansing, toning, exfoliating and moisturising, then we spend lots of time applying expensive makeup, only to realise that unsightly facial hair is visible for everyone to see. Unwanted hair on the face is a common problem that affects lots of women, and there are 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. 

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

• Lip
• Chin
• Jawline
• Sideburns
• Eyebrows

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.
4. Another healthy remedy that can help to reduce unwanted hair is weight loss. There are some women who have noticed unnecessary facial hair growth appear because they are overweight and losing excess weight will help with facial hair reduction.
5. Long lasting results can now be obtained with laser hair removal. This treatment is a better alternative, as small and large areas can easily be treated quickly and effectively, compared to other methods.

Taking away 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 is converted 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 makes any treatment more comfortable.

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.

Fine, Downy Hair Removal with Alkaline Hair Wash - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The cosmetic team at Selston Cosmetic Clinic receive a lot of enquiries from clients with blonde, grey, fine and downy hair, wanting to have hair removal treatment using lasers. Unfortunately, as laser hair removal is typically beyond the reach of these hair types and gives very poor results, we have no choice but to advise against having this treatment... but we do have an alternative!

Alkaline hair remover is the next best thing, to remove unwanted downy, facial hair. Alkaline wash has been specifically designed to reduce this type of unwanted hair. It's the perfect hair removal treatment for downy hair on the face, lip and chin and it's a treatment that is designed to eliminate the fine hair on your face that shouldn't be waxed, and hair that's difficult to treat with electrolysis or laser.

We apply a paste made of alkaline powder for a few minutes to dissolve part of the underlying follicle beneath the skin. This releases hair from the hair follicles, giving you smooth, hair free skin immediately after treatment. With regular treatments, it's said that regrowth becomes slower and ultimately ceases for most people. Alkaline Hair Wash does not stimulate dormant hair follicles as waxing sometimes does and the only side effect, is a possible temporary redness after treatment.

Removing downy hair with alkaline hair wash treatment

Alkaline Wash is most effective when treating fine, blonde, white, grey or downy hair. It's most suitable for areas where there's a dense growth of fine hair, that is usually resistive to standard hair removal methods. After the first treatment the hair will normally grow back at its normal rate, but as treatments progress the re-growth will become slower and slower. The hair does not grow back any coarser after Alkaline Hair Wash Treatment.

• The procedure time is 1-2 days
• The treatment course is 6 treatments, each treatment is 4 weeks apart
• No recovery time, you are back to work the next day
• The treatment normally results in permanent hair removal
• The treatment is painless and needs no anaesthetic
• The results are immediately seen

Alkaline hair wash can drastically reduce hair growth after 2-3 treatments, leaving some clients happy with the improvement they get, but most continue with the full treatment course, aiming for total clearance. The treatment itself is painless, although in some cases the skin can become red, but this is normal and will only last for a short period.

We can use Alkaline hair wash hair removal treatment as a stand alone treatment or combined with laser hair removal to give that smooth finished hair free look! Now blonde's can have the benefits of hair removal too!
