Burns, IPL and Laser Hair Removal – A Patient’s Guide – UPDATED 2020
(Revised and Updated in February 2020.) As we treat over 1000 people a month at our Leeds clinic, we increasingly see people coming in to see us who have suffered burns as a result of inexpert practitioners or cheap equipment elsewhere.
Following on from our popular article advising how to choose a good laser hair removal clinic, we advise you on what to do next if you’ve just had a bad experience with your laser treatment.
This is not a subject that most people want to talk about. Unfortunately, it is a very common experience when unqualified, inexperienced practitioners using cheap or replica lasers and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) machines carry out treatments such as laser/IPL hair removal.
The selection of an experienced and qualified laser practitioner is detailed more under “Operators” in our A-Z of Laser Hair Removal.
In short, if you are offered laser or IPL hair removal treatments without having a series of test patches carried out in advance, do not go ahead with treatment – look at other providers. [Read more…] about Burns, IPL and Laser Hair Removal – A Patient’s Guide – UPDATED 2020

Make Menopause Your Superpower
We know that dealing with hot flushes, sleepless nights and irritability is not easy, however we’re here to help! To mark World Menopause Day on 18th October, we wanted to highlight a different side of menopause. One where you prioritise yourself, embrace the changes and make menopause your superpower.
A time to prioritise yourself!
Not many know, but during the first 5 years of menopause we lose 30% of our skin’s collagen. During this time our skin is ageing more quickly than at any other stage of your life.
Once you advance in your forties and fifties you might find that you have more time to invest in activities that help you look and feel your best. Now it is very important to give your skin the attention it needs.
How does menopause affect the skin?
The average age a woman enters menopause is 51, however many women can start experiencing symptoms from as early as 45 – meaning we start losing oestrogen much sooner than we think. Oestrogen plays a vital role for your skin’s health and appearance. Before, during and after menopause low oestrogen production can cause accelerated loss in skin elasticity and collagen levels.
This could be the perfect time to introduce a new skincare regime! One that would target the root cause of ageing caused by menopause, helping you look and feel your best as you embrace these changes.
Emepelle – how we can help
To help you make menopause your superpower, we have brought these new revolutionary products into our Clinic!
Emepelle stimulates and activates oestrogen receptors in your skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin to help you maintain healthy vibrant and younger-looking skin. Using just these two products, you will rejuvenate, rebalance and restore skin affected by menopause.
