Hair Removal Process

Hair Removal Consultation

Firstly I perform a consultation so that I can make sure that there are no medical reasons why you shouldn’t have the treatment, I also discuss how the treatment works and answer any questions that you may have. I can also perform a test patch at this time.

For test patches, if your skin is skin type 1-4 then you can have treatment the same day, with skin type 5 we have to wait 48 hours for safety reasons.

Please note I cannot currently treat people with skin type 6 for safety reasons. For more information on skin types visit Fitzpatrick scale or view the NHS Fitzpatrick scale chart.

Hair Removal Treatment

Treatment takes place in our modern laser room. Before coming in for treatment you will need to prepare by fully shaving the area and ensuring you are not wearing any moisturiser, make up or deodorant.

I then apply a cool conductive gel (it can feel a bit cold!) and then treat the area by gliding the IPL and Radio Frequency (RF) handset over the skin. It’s very fast and all you should feel is a slight warm sensation. Most clients report that the process is painless.

Once the session is complete you may notice that your skin is slightly red but that will subside over the next few hours, and even customers that have had facial treatment done feel fine to go back to work.

I really believe that with my excellent prices, there is no contest between my IPL hair removal and other methods.
