Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter uses the Lumenis laser hair removal device, Lumenis stellar M22, which can treat many different skin types and hair colours as it’s able to adapt its wavelengths accordingly. The laser hair removal procedure appeals to men and women of all ages, giving a professional finish that eradicates the need for time-consuming, short-term hair removal methods that are used at home.
Laser hair removal delivers a powerful beam of light directly to each individual follicle. The melanin (pigment) in the hair absorbs the light which turns to heat, working to destroy the hair at the root, as well as damaging the follicle. After a few weeks the hair will naturally fall out, and the damaged follicle will be less likely to produce a new hair. Laser hair removal will need to be carried out in a series of sessions at our Buckinghamshire clinic to ensure all the follicles have been targeted. At Dr Grace Kelly in Chalfont St Peter we tactically perform these sessions in-line with the natural growth cycle of the hair to ensure the follicles are damaged at the just the right point in time.
Most of our Buckinghamshire patients require 2 – 6 treatments to remove all hair, with a 10 – 25% reduction in hair experienced after the first laser hair removal treatment. Smoother, hair free skin is often achieved when the course of hair removal treatments has come to an end, and many patients find they don’t need to return for treatment for many years. 90% of patients find the hair loss is permanent, and for those who do find their hair does start to regrow, the likelihood is that there will be less of it.
Laser hair removal at our Chalfont St Peter clinic is popular with both men and women, treating a range of areas, including: under arms, bikini line, legs, back, chest and face.
With the Lumenis laser hair removal machine, we are able to treat many different skin types and tones at Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter. You may not be considered suitable for this hair removal treatment if you are hypersensitive to light, pregnant or breastfeeding.
Laser hair removal is considered safe for most of our Buckinghamshire patients, and can be used on a variety of areas on the face and body.
Laser hair removal treatment is usually well tolerated and may only cause the skin to feel warm when it’s being carried out.
The skin is likely to look red and swollen after laser hair removal treatment, and may be slightly more sensitive than usual. Blisters, scarring and infection are uncommon side effects that will be explained during your consultation in Chalfont St Peter.
You will need to take care of your skin after laser hair removal treatment, and we may provide you with a soothing cream to be applied for the following 3 days. Waxing or plucking hairs between sessions is prohibited as we need the follicle to be present for treatment, although you can shave.
