Laser Hair Removal in Somerset 

Treatments on the face are spread out every 4-6 weeks until the hair growth has minimised. Treatments on the body are initially every 6-8 weeks until the hair growth has minimised. Sessions are then spread out long enough for the hair to have shed out and regrow, this can vary for different areas of the face and body. Hair on the face tends to grow quicker than the hair on the body and that is why the sessions can be done closer together.

The light used during laser treatments doesn't have the same UV wavelengths as those found in sunlight which are known to cause skin cancer. There is NO RISK that laser hair removal can cause skin cancer. It is also completely safe to get laser hair removal if you have had skin cancer in past.

On average it takes 6-8 sessions to remove the hair. Some people need less sessions and some people need more. Results depend on many things such as - hair colour/thickness, skin colour, pain tolerance & medication.

For most people regular maintenance sessions will not be necessary. With our laser technology we destroy the follicle so the hair has nowhere to grow. This ensures long lasting results and doesn't merely stunt the growth of the hair. If your hair growth is the result of a hormonal imbalance such as PCOS then maintenance sessions may be needed roughly every 6 months - 1 year to control the hair growth.

There are no age restrictions when it comes to Laser Hair Removal but with females it is advised you wait until they have started their menstrual cycle. Hair is governed by our hormones and it's good to bear in mind that they don't settled until the late teens/early 20's. If you have laser hair removal too early you may need a maintenance session in the future if more hair growth appears. Using Initia's 'motion' mode, treatment is virtually pain-free.
