IPL Laser Hair Removal
Here at Cheshire Skin & Laser Clinic I am passionate about clear beautiful skin so it made sense to invest in the latest IPL hair removal machine from Lynton. No more messy waxing or stubble from shaving, now who doesn’t want that.
There is no need to live with unwanted hair, the IPL I use is very safe and offers a permanent hair reduction to both men and women. The laser uses pulses of light to damage the hair follicle for permanent hair reduction. You will see results after only a few sessions. The hair will become lighter and finer until the growth slows down more and more. We suggest sessions between 4-8 weeks apart to follow the hair cycle. No more ingrowing hairs, shaving rash or stubble just beautiful soft skin.
Ladies, lets get rid of embarrassing facial hair, hormones play a huge part especially as we age but now we can zap those pesky hairs and get your confidence back where it should be. This treatment unfortunately doesn’t work on blonde or grey hairs.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
The applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, which targets many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated.
The hair follicles are damaged by heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1 – 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to ‘grow’ as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.
Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and bumpy but this usually subsides within a few hours. Unwanted reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
Only hair that is actively growing is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatment is conducted every 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the area treated, until a satisfactory result is seen. The required number of treatments varies, but typically 6 or more treatments are needed for optimum results.
Prior to treatment, a consultation is conducted in which a medical history is taken to confirm suitability for treatment. This is also a good opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. Before treatment commences you must provide written consent and a small test patch will be carried out.
Light is emitted and absorbed by melanin within the hair, which is then converted to heat energy damaging the hair follicle.
With standard laser hair removal treatments, you can feel what is described as a ‘hot flick’ of an elastic band during treatment. However, with the brand-new pain free Excelight treatment you will feel little to no sensation at all. The built-in chill tip allows even more comfort for clients especially when treating an area with lots of dense and dark hair.
The number of sessions required varies from client to client dependant on many factors however, as a guideline it is always recommended to complete a course of at least six sessions per area treated.
Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not suitable for treatment.
WHY SHOULD I HAVE LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
- LONG LASTING RESULTS – The hair that is effectively removed using a laser will usually not appear for several months and even years. When & if the hair grows back, the hair will be less coarse, lighter and a lot less noticeable. For many people, the hair will be gone permanently, which means it will never grow back.
- QUICK & SAFE PROCEDURE – It is a very quick procedure with some sessions taking as little as 20 minutes. The time it takes is largely dependent on the area size that is being targeted. For example, it will obviously take far longer to remove hair from your back, than it would be to remove hair from the upper lip. Using a laser over your skin may seem dangerous, but this form of hair removal is in fact extremely safe when performed by a trained and experienced clinician. This method also eliminates the chances of cutting or nicking your skin or getting a reaction to a nasty chemical.
- NON-INVASIVE – As highly effective as laser removal is, it is non-invasive and has a fast recovery time and very little dangers involved.
- NO MORE INGROWN HAIRS – Unlike other methods of hair removal, laser hair removal will leave you free from ingrown unsightly and painful hairs.
- NO MORE WASTED TIME ON SHAVING & WAXING – No need to purchase these anymore!
- FREEDOM TO WEAR WHAT YOU WANT – hair free means you can grab anything out of your wardrobe and not worry about unsightly hair!
- LOW MAINTENANCE – Once you have completed your treatments most people only require maintenance procedures. This usually means you will only require treatments once or twice a year at the most to keep on top of your results.
- REDUCES BODY ODOUR – Reduction in body odour can be a common side effect. This is due to the hair follicle being destroyed and the bacteria then has nowhere to cling to anymore!
