IPL Laser Hair Removal Treatment in Ely Cambridgeshire

Excessive or unsightly body hair can be embarrassing for both men and women and difficult or time consuming to remove. The old fashioned ways of hair removal such as shaving, tweezing, creams, and waxing are time consuming and only a temporary measure. Now you can obtain long lasting results with IPL Laser Hair Removal. Laser hair removal is a rapid, yet gentle way of removing unwanted hair, and is medically proven to give you long-lasting results. Chic Face and Body Clinic uses the most up to date technology, the "Harmony" Intense Pulse Light System, enabling you to achieve smooth, hair free skin.

Chic Face & Body Clinic provides laser hair removal treatments for a wide variety of different hair and skin types and colour, but the best results are seen when there is a good contrast between the hair colour and the skin colour, making black hair on pale skin an ideal combination to treat. If the hair and skin type is suitable most areas of the body can be treated.

The most common areas for laser hair removal treatments for women are the face, neck, bikini line, legs, arms, underarms, breasts and tummy line. Chic Face and Body Clinic also specialize in hair removal treatments for men. The most common areas for men are the face, neck, chest and back.

Before Your First Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Prior to your treatment you will have a consultation where you are assessed for your suitability to proceed and all your questions are answered. In keeping with the Care Quality Commission guide lines, we are obliged to carry out a patch test prior to your first treatment.

During Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Your Laser hair removal treatment will be carried out by a fully qualified laser hair removal specialist who is highly experienced in carrying out laser hair removal treatments.

As the laser which emits an intense pulse of light is passed over the area being treated, the light destroys the hair follicles, reducing further growth and leaving a silky smooth feel even on sensitive skin. It is not painful, and the sensation is often described as similar to an elastic band being flicked against the skin. Laser hair removal treatments take from ten minutes to approximately forty minutes, depending on the area being treated.

After Your First Laser Hair Removal Treatment

The long term benefits of multiple laser hair removal treatments are accumulative and can be remarkable. There is very little if any recovery time. The patient can have some possible redness following treatment and should avoid heat treatments, direct sun exposure, and saunas for the first day post treatment.

It is necessary to have a course of treatments to achieve the desired end result. How many depends on the area being treated. On average 6-8 treatments are required at 4-10 week intervals so that the treatment targets the hair follicles throughout the growth cycle. The hair growth cycle does however vary in different areas of the body and is often affected by ethnic origin, age and hormones. Therefore the length of treatment required is dependent upon these factors as each individual responds differently to treatment.
