Hair Removal

Excessive hair can be socially embarrassing.
Laser hair removal offers the best solution yet.

Is hair removal for you? If you have shaving bumps, recurrent boils in the skin or require hair removal then laser treatment is the ideal system for you.

Nottingham Laser Clinic uses the most advanced cosmetic laser surgery technology for permanent hair reduction, safely and effectively treating all ethnic origins and skin types including tanned skin.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Gone are the days when the old fashioned way of tweasing, shaving, creams and waxes are the only way of removing uwanted hair.

At Nottingham Laser Clinic we offer Laser Hair Removal which is a new, safe and effective way of reducing unwanted hair.
It works because laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in your hair root while your hair is in its active phase of growth.
The laser light is then converted into heat, causing damage to the follicle without harming the surrounding tissue. Hair re-growth is then slowed or stopped in the damaged follicle. Not all follicles are active at the same time and several treatments, every few weeks, may sometimes be necessary to obtain the desired result.

This treatment is also the first laser and most effective to be cleared by the FDA for the treatment of a painful condition called pseudo-folliculitis barbae, also known as ‘shaving bumps’ or ingrowing hairs.

When will I see the results?

Only 30% or less of your hair may be in the active phase at any one time, this means that a series of treatments may be required to achieve the longterm improvement you desire. Our extensive experience tells us that you can expect to need from 3-8 treatments (4-6 is average) to each treatment area for long lasting optimal results.

How long do treatments take?

Sessions for an upper lip or small bikini area can take as little as 15 minutes, while larger areas on back and legs may require up to 60 minutes or more.

How long do the effects last?

The average patient in clinical studies sees a 48% reduction in hair growth after three treatments and up to an 80% lasting reduction after six to eight treatments.
