Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for both men and women who want to eradicate excess and / or unwanted hair. Here at Nassif Medspa, we use only the most premium lasers for the best results – Cynosure Elite+, a market leading specialist laser. It contains two laser systems – a 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a high powered 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser – these are the most optimal wavelengths for hair removal.

Unwanted hair can be present on a variety of areas over the face and body, for which the laser hair removal procedure can be adapted. Whether you’re male or female, young or old, particularly hirsute or just tired of never-ending grooming, excess body hair can be extremely challenging. Each person has different levels of unwanted hair and different areas can be affected.

As well as contributing to a less than pleasing appearance, removing excess hair often requires a regular routine that may include shaving, waxing or applying creams. These repetitive methods are usually very short term solutions that see hair starting to grow back fairly quickly.

This safe procedure involves holding a device against the skin, emitting a laser that delivers targeted heat energy to the follicles. The melanin in the hair (giving it its colour) absorbs the laser light which produces heat that damages the hair at the root. The root is completely destroyed and the follicle is prevented from producing a new hair. As the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair, darker skin tones and hair colours will respond more effectively to this treatment. Results can often be seen within 7 – 10 days of the first treatment, with hair growth reducing further over a course of between 6 and 8 sessions depending on your hair type and strength.

Laser hair removal can be used to treat unwanted hair on areas of the face and body, including: legs, arms, underarms, stomach, back, bikini line and chest. Treating the face can reduce hair growth on the upper lip, side burns, eyebrows and neck, with male patients using this method to create neater facial hairlines.

Ingrown hairs can be a common problem for which laser hair removal may be a solution that is truly permanent.

FAQs

Am I suitable for this treatment?

You will need to attend a pre-treatment consultation at Nassif MedSpa, which is used to determine your suitability for this treatment and to perform a small patch test. This treatment is not recommended for people who have tanned skin, as the laser attracts to a darker pigment (and tanned skin is more pigmented than it would be naturally). Some darker skin tones may also not be suitable, which can be discussed during the consultation. White hair and very red hair is also not suitable for treatment.

Is laser hair removal treatment safe?

The use of lasers has been around since the 1960’s and have seen much development over the years. With as many as 30 machines in the UK with variable treatment indications and limitations, it is down to the consultation to offer specific advice and information about the procedure and type of machine to be used, with expected treatment outcomes and associated risks.

Will it hurt?

Laser hair removal is not painful – most people feel it is less painful than waxing, with a sensation reported to be similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. For those with very sensitive skin, a pain relieving cream can be applied prior to the treatment for more comfort.

Are there any side effects or risks?

The skin can appear slightly red after treatments and the hair follicles which have been treated may appear raised and bumpy for up to 48 hours. Itching can occur in some individuals, several days after treatment which tends to mild and will subside. Other side effects are rare and will be explained during your pre-treatment consultation.

How much downtime can I expect?

Although a few minor side effects may occur following the procedure, there is very little downtime attached to the laser hair removal treatment. When you leave the clinic you should be able to continue with your day as you normally would, only feeling some very slight sensitivity of the skin.

I had the best experience at NassifMD Medspa UK. The spa itself is beautiful and luxurious and in a great location on the Quays. On arrival I was met by Amanda and immediately I felt relaxed and at ease. My consultation with Dr Jamie was a joy ! His knowledge and experience is vast and nothing was too much trouble when faced with my endless questions and concerns. I was given several options of treatments and between us we decided on a course of action …. The results ? Well I’m absolutely thrilled ! I can’t wait for my next appointment.

I have had many services here and the service is not only impeccable the knowledge Amanda gives is fantastic. The Dr’s and nurses at Dr.Nassif’s medical spa are amazing. My hydrafacial was the best one I’ve ever had. I get PRP and profhilo, also the best. I’ve recently just had nucleofill for my under eyes & with what was left over the Dr noticed I had a slight outbreak of spots and administered the nucleofill there. 1 day post treatment my eyes look much better and my spots have started to clear up! The initiative and attention to detail on top of already an amazing treatment is what makes this clinic the best I’ve ever been too. I won’t go anywhere else. Thanks team for being so amazing! I wouldn’t trust my face with anyone else!

I’ve felt so supported by her throughout the entire experience from initial consultation through to aftercare and I throughly recommend her and this clinic! Amanda provides the compete package including well informed guidance, effective treatments and thoughtful aftercare. Her holistic approach will help you not only get the results you need but also work to then maintain them afterwards. Thanks again to her and the team! A well deserved 5/5 - I can’t fault them!

My 1st visit to this clinic , first impressions - such a beautiful well run , professional atmosphere. Amanda and staff helped put me at my ease and explained everything before my treatment. This included previous clients photos of before and after treatments and a thorough discussion of my needs, which put me at ease. My rosacea is much improved already after treatment and I look forward to my return for follow up and a second treatment.
