LASER HAIR REMOVAL LEEDS

Not sure what your skin type is? Use our Fitzpatrick scale below:

Type 1: Always burns, never tans (pale, freckles).

Type 2: Usually burns, minimal tanning.

Type 3: Sometimes burns mildly, tans uniformly.

Type 4: Burns minimally, always tans well (moderate brown).

Type 5: Very rarely burns, tans very easily (dark brown).

Type 6: Never burns (deeply pigmented dark brown to darkest brown).

When passed over the skin surface, the laser emits light energy, which is absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair. This targets the hair follicles at the root and destroys them, which prevents regrowth.  The hair can be at various stages in the growth cycle, so it is recommended to have at least six sessions to ensure all the follicles are targeted at the right time. If you find a laser hair removal clinic offering laser hair removal that uses fewer sessions, be wary. The hair growth cycle means that at least six sessions are always needed.

On average, there are around six sessions; however, this can vary depending on the area of the body treated and any medical conditions, such as hormonal imbalance. Thanks to the BLEND X technology, you should need fewer sessions than with other laser devices, as it combines two laser wavelengths (Alexandrite and ND:YAG) to achieve better results.

Lasers are most effective when the hair shaft is in the anagen phase (growing phase). Therefore, you will need multiple treatments to reduce unwanted hair growth significantly. Our practitioner will advise you on the number needed and what to expect.

After treatment, the reaction varies from person to person. You may experience some redness and hair follicle swelling directly after treatment, which can be normal. As you progress through the course of your treatments, you will notice less hair growth. We advise applying SPF 50 every day and avoiding sunbathing for two weeks. 

Shave 12-24 hours before the treatment to ensure comfort and an accurate treatment. We also advise exfoliating three days prior. This will all be explained in your treatment plan. We want you to obtain optimum results, and our experienced therapists will do all they can to help you through your laser hair removal treatment process. 

Please avoid applying fake tan for two weeks before treatment, and do not use any other hair removal method except shaving.

 There is no reason to say that laser energy is not safe for expectant mothers and those breastfeeding, but the lack of trials means it should not be used. Also, those taking certain medications such as Roaccutane for acne, have keloid scars, have or have had skin cancer, or are taking photosensitive medications.

Your practitioner will run through these things at your free consultation to ensure you are suitable. In case of doubt, our lasers meet the criteria to be safely used on all skin tones including darker skin types. They are also suitable for light and dark hair.

Absolutely! Not only women enjoy hair-free skin with a laser hair removal treatment. It is a very popular treatment for men regardless of skin and hair type and is effective for all areas of the body. Common areas for the laser treatment are cheeks, upper arms, full chest, shoulder blades, and stomach. Men often come into the clinic for facial hairline definition.

The SPLENDOR X uses a dual cooling system, Cryo-Tip and Cryo-Air. The Cryo-Tip is designed to deliver the Cryo-Air air over the laser beam, so it is precise to the treatment area to remove heat from the tissue. This ensures treatments are virtually painless. 

This depends on the treated area; however, we offer discounted prices on six sessions for all body areas. We also offer treatments and entire body packages. Please note that the price is reflected in the excellent quality of the medical-grade laser machine and the treatment provided, and we feel we have the best prices when this is taken into consideration. We pride ourselves on using the best devices in the world with clinically proven results.

You can have laser hair removal directly before injectable treatments, but must wait 2 weeks after having injectable treatments first, to allow the injection site to heal.

To avoid adverse reactions, you must wait 2 weeks between laser hair reduction and HydraFacial or medical-grade peels. Please let us know if you have had any other skin treatments prior to starting a hair removal session.

You can still have treatment but must stop using products with active ingredients such as salicylic acid, tretinoin and benzyl-peroxide 72 hours before and after laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal offers a long-term reduction in hair growth. Its effectiveness is due to its ability to target and damage the hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. However, hormonal changes and individual hair growth cycles can influence the permanency of the results. For the majority, laser hair removal permanently reduces hair growth, making it a highly effective solution for those looking to minimise hair regrowth. While it significantly diminishes the amount and thickness of unwanted hair, some maintenance treatments may be necessary over time.

The number of sessions required for laser hair removal varies depending on several factors, including the treatment area, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles. On average, clients may need around six sessions to achieve significant hair reduction. With its BLEND X technology, the Splendour X system combines two laser wavelengths to target hair more effectively, potentially reducing the number of sessions needed compared to other devices. Our practitioners will provide a personalised treatment plan during your initial consultation, outlining the expected number of sessions to meet your hair removal goals.

Laser hair removal with the Splendor X system is designed to be as comfortable as possible. The device features a dual cooling system, which minimises discomfort during the treatment. This innovative cooling technology ensures that most clients' laser treatment is virtually painless. While individual pain thresholds vary, most patients report only minimal discomfort, often described as a light snapping sensation against the skin.

Each laser hair removal session's duration depends on the treatment area's size. With the Splendor X system, each laser pulse can treat multiple hairs in a fraction of a second, making the process relatively quick. Small areas, such as the upper lip, may take just a few minutes, while larger areas, like the back or legs, can take up to an hour. Our advanced laser technology ensures efficient and fast treatment sessions, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal downtime.

Laser hair removal should be approached with caution on tattooed skin. The laser targets pigment, including the ink used in tattoos, which can lead to adverse effects such as skin damage and alteration of the tattoo's appearance. It is generally advised to avoid laser hair removal directly over tattooed areas. Our practitioners can assess your situation and recommend the best action during your initial consultation.

Yes, laser hair removal can be effectively performed on all skin types and hair colours, thanks to advancements in laser technology. The Splendor X system, used at Aesthetica Medical, is equipped with BLEND X technology that allows for customising treatments to suit different skin types and hair colours, including light and dark skin tones. However, the best results are often seen on individuals with darker and lighter skin, as the contrast allows the laser to target the melanin in the hair more easily.

Post-treatment care is always important for achieving the best results and minimising potential side effects. After your laser hair removal session, avoiding sun exposure and applying a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily to protect the treated area is important. You may experience some redness and swelling, typically subsiding within a few hours to a few days. We also recommend avoiding hot showers and saunas and exercising 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation. Our team will provide a comprehensive aftercare plan tailored to your needs.
