During the laser treatment, a light is emitted that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. The light energy is converted into heat which damages the tube shaped sacs (follicles) that produce the hair. This damage inhibits and delays the regrowth of the hair.
The treatment is fast, effective and gentle. In fact, it's so gentle, it's virtually pain free.
We recommend 6-12 sessions with a four to six week period in between for maximum results. After completing these sessions, the area treated can be reviewed to assess how many more treatments may be required if needed.
Some people may experience great results after a few sessions, while others may need over ten sessions. Many people will experience up to a 90% permanent hair loss AFTER a complete course of treatments. Although results are mostly permanent, occasional top up sessions may be required once a year or every couple of years depending on the individual.
Results will vary between people and will depend on the type of hair (thick vs fine), consistency of appointments, and hormones which affect growth.The treated area must be shaved prior to the appointment (done by the client at home). An ultrasound gel will be put on the area, and the laser will be passed over the treatment area, releasing a short pulse of light. The light picks up the melanin, and targets many follicles simultaneously. The laser is always in motion, which allows the light to destroy lots of hair particles quickly and effectively.
Results will be noticeable from your first treatment, but the number of treatments needed will be determined on factors such as the size of the area being treated.
Most people are suitable however the best results are seen with people who have light skin and dark hair. The Laser Room offers laser hair removal treatment with Soprano Titanium which is effective in treating all skin types. Please note that grey or white hair will not be destroyed as it has no melanin, the only way the hair will be picked up by the laser is if there is pigment at the root.
We cannot treat people who are pregnant or under 14 years of age.
Treatment time takes anywhere from 5 minutes. It can be as long as 2 hours per session, depending on the area being treated.
Prior to treatment, you will have a full medical history consultation to confirm your suitability for treatment. At this point, you will be able to ask your Laser Specialist any questions you may have before your treatment. You will need to sign a form of consent and a patch test will be carried out 24 hours before any treatment. A consultation takes 30 minutes and costs £15.
