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 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 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.

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

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

Many people have areas of unwanted hair that they want removing. So whether you are a woman with hairy legs or shock horror - a hairy upper lip or maybe you're a man with excessive hair on the face, chest or back, there are many ways to help remove unwanted hair.

Shaving - removes hair using a razor at the level of the skin, but hair will return in the following days. There's always the possibility that shaving will cause unwanted cuts and irritations.
Waxing - is a good alternative to shaving. This method is semi-permanent and removes the hair from the root. It will take two to eight weeks for new hairs to grow back in the waxed area. Waxing could be painful if used in delicate areas, and the price could prove expensive over time.
Electrolysis - can permanently remove hair but it's an extremely slow and painful method, and can sometimes result in scarring.
Laser - the pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the energy, 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.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses the most advanced Laser Technology to offer a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair. Laser hair removal treatment is ideal, as we can treat small and large areas quickly and effectively, compared to other methods. Over the winter months we don't bare our legs much, so why not do your legs a favour, and get them ready for Summer. Imagine having smooth, silky legs without the hassle of shaving and waxing.

Laser can remove hair almost permanently from:

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

Are you a good candidate?
Not all hair is suitable to have laser treatment. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we can use the laser on white, through to black skin tones. Generally for white skin, it takes 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. It's not possible to treat white, grey, and blond hair by laser.

Go to a reputable clinic
Always be sure that the clinic you choose has certified laser professionals. Check it has been in business for a significant amount of time and that previous clients are happy with their results.

After treatment
Once your treatment session is complete, you're free to resume your normal routine. Some might experience a slight redness on the treated area but this should resolve in a day or two. You should avoid sun exposure and be sure to wear sun cream every day following any laser treatment. Immediately after laser treatment, hair follicles might seem to grow for one to two weeks. Typically these are lifeless hairs and they will fall out quite easily.

Laser Hair Removal for Men's Body Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Body hair removal was in days gone by, a strictly a female thing. These days, more and more men are opting for the same grooming rituals as women and although most men don't necessarily want all of their body hair removed, they do want it thinned out, mainly on their back and chest. Hairy backs, chests, legs and bellies are a turn-off for a lot of women and so more than ever, men are succumbing to the pressure to remove body hair.

These are some of the most popular hair removal treatments for men:

Waxing
The main advantage of waxing away unwanted hair is that the results do last for a while. Heated wax is spread over the required area with a spatula, then a strip removes the wax, along with the hair. The hair is removed at the root which means you’ll be hair-free for up to six weeks, and because it's removed at the root, it will grow back with fine, rather than blunt hair.

Electrolysis
Although electrolysis can permanently remove hair, it's a slow and painful hair removal treatment, which can sometimes result in scarring. A small electric current is applied with a fine needle-shaped electrode, or metal probe into each hair follicle and this destroys the root. Minor discomfort might be experienced and more than one treatment is required for it to be most effective. With electrolysis, each hair follicle is treated individually, making it a time-consuming and painful process.

Shaving
Shaving is probably the easiest method of hair removal. With just a razor and shaving cream you can get rid of hair from any part of the body, and it's easy and painless as long as you don’t nick yourself with the razor. But as the hair grows back, unfortunately this makes shaving with a razor only a temporary solution.

Depilatories/Cream Hair Removers
Depilatory creams contain chemicals that react safely with the unwanted hair on the body. They break down the proteins in the hair, causing it to weaken and dissolve. The hair is left in a jelly like state, and is wiped away with the cream.

Laser
The laser beam passes through the skin to the hair follicles. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, without harming the surrounding skin, and stops future hair growth. With male hair removal becoming increasingly popular, laser hair removal is an ideal treatment for those wanting a smooth chest or hair-free back and almost anywhere on the body can be treated, including ears, sideburns or nipples.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic uses the most advanced Laser Technology to offer a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair. Long lasting results can now be obtained with Laser hair removal, and both small and large areas can be treated quickly and effectively, compared to other methods. After treatment, hair follicles might seem to grow for one to two weeks. Typically these are lifeless hairs and they will fall out quite easily.

Depending on the area, treatments can take from 10 minutes and up to 45 minutes for the back. Only 30% of  hair is usually in the growth phase at any one time and the laser can only target these hairs. Therefore a series of treatments are required to achieve long-term results, generally around 6 treatments are required spaced 4-6 weeks apart, and this usually results in 80% of hair removal. Some clients might experience a slight redness in the treated area, but his should resolve in a day or two and you are requested to avoid sun exposure and use daily sunscreen following any laser treatment.
