Laser Hair Removal in Leeds

There are many different methods of hair removal available. The major advantage of Laser Hair Removal is that it is faster and less painful than other methods. The reduction in long term hair regrowth is also proven to be more significant than any other method.

The lasers used for hair removal produce high levels of light energy. This light energy is absorbed by the dark pigment (melanin) within the hair. The light energy is converted to heat as it is absorbed, which in turn damages the hair and the base of the hair follicle where the cells and the blood supply responsible for new hair growth are situated (the matrix).

This causes the hair growth cycle to slow down and also damages a small percentage of hairs in the ‘active’ growing stage (anagen phase) at each treatment. During the anagen phase, the heat from the laser energy is conducted down the hair shaft to the matrix more effectively, because the base of the hair (the bulb) is in direct contact with it.

During the other stages of the hair growth cycle, the hair bulb moves away from the matrix, leaving a gap which is difficult for the heat energy to bridge effectively. Only a small percentage of hairs (approximately 10% – 20%) are in the anagen phase at any one time, so this is why we recommend a course of 8 treatments to obtain optimum results.

The laser will not have as much effect on white, grey or blonde hair. But we always offer a free consultation and test patch, so call us if you’d like to find out if laser treatment is an option for you.

At Good Skin Days, we use Asclepion MeDioStar NeXT PRO XL 'Monolith' lasers. These are the fastest and most advanced hair removal lasers available. We’re also the UK Centre of Excellence for the German manufacturer, Asclepion. This means we don’t just use these lasers in our clinic – we’re also the only UK training centre for laser practitioners to learn how to get the best results for their patients.

The MeDioStar NeXT PRO XL has an extremely large spot size, so it’s perfect for treating large areas such as legs and backs quickly. It has a unique combination of wavelengths that allows us to treat all skin types – in many cases we can even treat tanned skin. And with an adjustable pulse frequency and next-generation cooling system, our practitioners are able to tailor your treatment to get the best possible results both quickly and painlessly.

The multiple wavelengths on these lasers allow us to deliver light energy deeper into the skin. This ensure that any dark pigment (melanin) in the skin is not heated up and damaged, and the energy is instead delivered directly to the hair follicles. They are therefore ideal for treating both lighter skin types and darker skin types (Asian & Afro-Caribbean) equally effectively.
