Lasers work by targeting the melanin in the hair beneath the skin surface, therefore, at our cosmetic surgery clinic, Doctors Makeover, we use Intensive Pulse Light (IPL) and the top of the range Nd:Yg laser machines for different types of hair and skin colour. The main adverse effects of laser hair removal are burns and ineffectiveness of treatment.
Our staff are trained and have experience in using this equipment. At your initial consultation, the therapist will explain the procedure to you in detail and take relevant medical history including any medication you might be taking.
It is also important to note how your skin tolerates the procedure. This information is vital to help the therapist individualise treatment and achieve the greatest results. Our therapists follow guidelines to maximise safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
We also supply you with an " Instruction" sheet to help the outcome of the procedure. There is some controversy and probably misunderstanding about laser hair removal. It is known that laser hair removal is more effective and even cheaper than electrolysis and similar techniques in the long-term. It is thought that using techniques such as electrolysis which might be misused and practised by untrained people carries the risk of transmitting diseases to others.
However, laser hair removal also has some limitations, as the half-life of hair on the body is a certain number of years, it is true that laser hair removal terminates the life span of the treated-hair but there is always a chance of regrowth of other hairs and therefore it is better to speak about permanent hair reduction rather than permanent hair removal in this context.
How much does laser hair removal cost?
We believe that we are one of the most competitive service providers in the country (see Our Price Commitment) and we can match any other price, offered by a doctor in the United Kingdom. Obviously, it depends on your individual case and the area to be treated. We also take into account your skin type and colour of your hair. Our laser hair removal prices start as low as £40 per session. We also offer up to 20% discount if you take a course of hair removal treatment.
