Women and men can experience excessive hair growth due to genes or hormonal changes, but whatever the reason, you don’t need to worry, we’ve got you covered!
At Aesthetics of Rayleigh, the sister clinic to Aesthetics of Essex, we are well-placed for laser Rayleigh. We remove the exhausting routine of incessant shaving, waxing, plucking and repeat, with the amazing Cynosure Elite IQ – a virtually pain-free and highly effective hair removal solution for unwanted hair.
Removing unwanted hair comfortably and quickly, laser Rayleigh results in up to 80 – 90% reduction in hair growth – meaning you’ll be smoother for longer. There is also no danger of painful ingrown hairs, which is a common problem with shaving and waxing. Nothing will completely stop the growth of new hair, but if we can slow it down, that’s got to be a win!
How does Laser Rayliegh work?
A beam will target the hair follicles and the heat from the laser will harm them – stopping hair growth in the future. It also targets the colour in the hair pigment – melanocytes – so the darker the hair pigment, the easier it is for the laser to destroy the hair follicle.
The secret lies in the technology. Cynosure’s laser hair removal treatments target and destroy the hair cells responsible for hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin. The result is smooth, hair-free skin that lasts!
It works on all different kinds of hair and skin types, although will only work on darker pigment, so if you have fair, grey or white hair, the treatment will not work at all as there is no melanin present in those particular hair follicles.
How long is the treatment?
Following laser hair removal in Rayleigh, it can take approximately two weeks for the hair to fall out. It’s expected that you would need between 6 to 12 treatments in total – facial hair every 4 weeks and 6 – 8 weeks for body hair, but we will be able to give you more of an idea once you come in for an assessment.
To get optimum results for laser Rayleigh, a consultation is important as there are a number of factors that influence the exact number of treatments required, including the density and texture of your hair.
The treatment will continue until hair stops growing in the area being treated, with repeated treatments being recommended to ensure each stage of hair growth are treated.
It’s also important to note that if you experience any kind of hormonal changes as you get older, this can result in hair growing back. If that happens, they will probably grow back much lighter and finer than before, so it will take you a bit longer to eradicate these little pesky hairs!
Advice following the treatment
After undergoing each treatment, you may experience some mild discomfort. It’s recommended if you do, you can use anti-inflammatory cream or cold water for relief. It’s also recommended that you don’t do any kind of waxing, plucking or threading after undergoing treatments.
