The process is simple, convenient, and extremely time-efficient. Read on for the questions that CK Skin Clinic’s clients frequently ask us, including how much it costs to have laser hair removal in our Cheltenham skincare clinic.
Permanent hair reduction. The majority of clients experience permanent hair loss within 6-9 laser hair removal sessions at our clinic in Cheltenham. Whilst we are confident that we have the best system on the market, we will be honest with you about the likelihood of a successful outcome during your consultation appointment and how many sessions it may take to achieve optimal results.
Some people choose have laser hair removal over shaving, tweezing or waxing. Others may choose to look into laser hair removal because of abnormal hair growth. Abnormal hair growth can be caused by heredity, irregular hormone levels, and some medications. Having laser hair removal at CK Skin Clinic can help in each of these situations.
If you’re unhappy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal is an effective option that is worth considering. Not only is waxing, shaving, and plucking inconvenient and time-consuming but they are also temporary. Our laser hair removal system safely and conveniently eliminates unwanted body hair without damaging the skin’s fragile surface. Large regions of the body can be treated rapidly, while smaller regions (such as the upper lip or chin) are treated in virtually minutes.
Theoretically, damage to the hair follicle can remove unwanted hair permanently, but because of the nature of hair and the many factors that influence the growth of hair, the results vary from client to client. The effect of repeated treatments is cumulative and at CK Skin Clinic, we offer maintenance appointments as well as initial hair removal sessions.
As with any medical treatment, use of any laser hair removal system may have some side effects. However, side effects are generally minor and manageable. The precise laser parameters used for each laser hair removal system is carefully defined by studying the anatomy of the hair follicle and precisely matching the colour of laser light and the pulse duration to the size, depth, and location of the hair follicle. This research has resulted in a safe technique that effectively reduces the risk of scarring and most other complications following treatment. Our therapists have been offering laser hair removal in Cheltenham for many years and are all highly-trained and experienced.
A laser safely beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles, pigment in the follicles then absorb the light, which in turn destroys the follicle leaving the treatment area smooth and hair-free. At CK Skin Clinic, our highly-trained therapists use the Cynosure Elite Laser ensuring we offer the best laser hair removal in Cheltenham.
The treatment begins by first cleansing and shaving the region that is to be treated. After the laser is turned on or “pulsed,” it is passed over the desired region for a fragment of a second at a time. Without damaging the surrounding skin, pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by hair follicles. The laser energy is transferred to heat, and the heat destroys the potential for hair regrowth.
The majority of people can tolerate this type of laser hair removal very well. The laser is pulsed so rapidly, that only a mild stinging sensation is experienced. We always discuss this clients during an initial consultation.
We treat all individuals for laser hair removal at our clinic in Cheltenham. Our staff customise each treatment depending on the individual’s skin tone, texture, hair color, and desired region. Nearly all hair colours and skin tones can be treated successfully, but if you are unsure we always insist on an initial consultation to discuss your treatment plan. Book your consultation appointment here.
Your hair growth cycle occurs in phases and varies from person to person. For some individuals, several laser treatments may be necessary to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter the growth phase. We always advise each of our clients as to the approximate number of treatments before starting sessions.
Side effects aren’t common. Mild redness, slight scabbing, and irritation may occur around the treated area but will disappear quickly or within several days following the procedure. In rare cases, the treated skin may become mildly lighter or darker. Our experienced laser specialists will inform you of which course of treatment is best for you during the first consultation at our Cheltenham skin clinic.
