How does laser hair removal work?
It works by focusing a laser beam at the base of the hair follicle, halting hair growth. The laser is attracted to the dark pigment in hair. The energy from the laser travels down to the base of the hair follicle where it disperses as thermal energy. This destroys the base of the hair follicle rendering it unable to produce hair as quickly. This rate of growth will decrease more as you have further treatments. Laser hair removal can be used on any part of the body.
At FACES Laser Clinic we combine SHR with E-Light Technology. With SHR, you can receive treatment regardless of skin colour or season, and can even treat sensitive areas without any discomfort.
SHR works by gradually heating targeted hair follicles with gentle pulses of laser energy.

During the consultation, the consultant will explain the process to you, decide which laser will be used in appropriate settings, answer any questions you have and carries out a patch test on each area.
The skin test will ensure you are suitable for laser hair removal (95% are eligible) as well as give you an idea of how the treatment will feel. The laser Consultant will then advise you on the best course of treatments to achieve your goal; The recommendation is a minimum of 8 usually.Following the consultation, if you choose to go ahead, you can start the treatment from as early as 48 hours later.

Following a laser hair removal treatment
The skin may be red immediately after the treatment, and the hair follicles where the skin has been treated may be raised and bumpy, this usually subsides within a few hours but can take up to 48 hours for some clients. Very few people experience itching a few days later as the hair is pushed out.
Following a laser hair removal treatment, the hair growth slows considerably. It usually takes 2-3 weeks, at which point the dead hair will fall out. New hair follicles will then grow, which are usually less coarse. After the second laser treatment, depending on skin and hair type, the area can already begin to look patchy as certain hair follicles stop producing new hairs. After 4-6 treatments, the hair should be significantly reduced, and after eight sessions, we can achieve up to 80% reduction; results may vary from person to person.

The main benefits of laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is the most effective method for achieving permanent reduction. After 6-8 sessions, you can achieve up to a 90% reduction. Comparing this to a lifetime of shaving or waxing, laser hair removal is an investment and more economical in the long run.
The laser is also extremely effective at treating ingrown hairs. After 2-4 sessions, you will notice a significant, if not complete, removal of ingrown hairs. The bumps, redness and skin pigmentation caused by ingrown will also clear up, leaving the skin healthier and smoother.
