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. Laser Hair Removal Ely Cambridgeshire is a rapid, yet gentle way of removing unwanted hair, and is medically proven to give you long-lasting results, enabling you to achieve smooth, hair free skin.

Laser hair removal treatments are suitable 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. The most common areas for men are the face, neck, chest and back.

When choosing a Skin and Laser Clinic in Ely Cambridgeshire make sure they have a fully qualified laser hair removal specialist who is highly experienced in carrying out laser hair removal treatments.

During Laser Hair Removal Treatment

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. You 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.
