Laser Hair Removal

To understand how to get rid of hair, it is important to understand how hair grows. 

Hair growth is cyclical and begins with the growth cycle known as anagen. Anagen may last for two to seven years (the duration of this cycle determines the maximum hair length). The following anagen is catagen, a transition cycle that lasts for about 10 to 14 days. Telogen (the resting phase) follows catagen and lasts from two to four months. 

The most common areas for hair reduction in women are the upper lip, chin, cheeks, legs, armpits, and bikini area. Many factors, including genetics and hormones, control hair density in these areas. Some ethnic groups have increased hair density above the lip. Diseases such as polycystic ovary disease and certain medications may also stimulate excessive hair growth. 

This treatment can be used on almost any area of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and back.

Hair removal with the Motus AY laser is a quick and effective way to get rid of unwanted hair.

Using advanced technology, the Motus AY laser targets and destroys hair follicles, resulting in long-term hair reduction. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which causes the hair to fall out.

This treatment is safe for all skin types and can be used on a variety of areas, including the face, legs, and underarms.

The Motus AY laser is designed to provide comfortable and precise results, making it a top choice for those looking to achieve smooth, hair-free skin.

The Motus AY laser hair removal system is safe for use on all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Its advanced technology is designed to gently and effectively remove unwanted hair while minimising any potential irritation or discomfort.

Our trained professionals will work with you to customise your treatment plan, ensuring that your laser hair removal experience is both safe and effective.

Trust the Motus AY to give you smooth, hair-free skin without any concerns about safety.

This treatment is a safe and effective treatment when performed by an experienced practitioner.

However, there is a small risk of side effects, such as skin irritation or discoloration.

Prior to a laser treatment, it is important to avoid sun exposure, waxing, and plucking for several weeks. We recommend shaving the area the day before the treatment.

After hair removal with the Motus AY laser, it is important to avoid sun exposure and to use sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

The treated area should also be kept clean and dry. It is recommended to avoid physical activities that may cause sweating or irritation to the treated area for the first 48 hours.

Avoiding hot showers and wearing loose, non-restrictive clothing can also help to reduce irritation you may experience.

Following these aftercare guidelines can help to ensure the best possible results from your treatment.

The number of treatments needed can vary depending on the individual’s needs and goals. In general, most patients will require 6-12 treatments to achieve optimal results.

The duration of treatments can vary depending on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas, such as the underarms, may take only a few minutes, while larger areas, such as the legs, may take up to an hour.

Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal are both popular methods for achieving long-term hair reduction, but they work differently and have distinct advantages. Here are some reasons why opting for laser hair removal at Freyja Medical, Wrexham, may be a better choice for some:

Precise Hair Follicle Targeting

Laser treatment directly targets hair follicles using a concentrated beam of light. It aims at the pigment (melanin) in the follicles, converting the laser energy into heat, which damages the follicle and hinders future hair growth. This precise targeting ensures superior results for our clients.

Enhanced Effectiveness

Compared to IPL, laser is generally more effective in reducing hair growth. The concentrated laser energy reaches hair follicles more efficiently.

Reduced Side Effects

Laser tends to have fewer side effects than IPL. IPL may cause redness, swelling, and blistering in some individuals, but these occurrences are less common with laser treatment, thanks to its precision.

Safe for Diverse Skin Types

Our laser technology can be safely used on a variety of skin types and hair types, as it is absorbed more effectively by darker, coarser hairs. It can also be adjusted to different skin tones. IPL, on the other hand, is not suitable for darker skin due to its use of multiple wavelengths.

Fewer Treatment Sessions

Fewer laser sessions are typically needed compared to IPL to achieve the desired results, thanks to the concentrated and effective energy targeting hair follicles.

Personalised Consultation

In summary, laser hair removal at Freyja Medical offers a more effective, precise, and potentially longer-lasting solution for hair reduction with fewer side effects. However, it’s essential to consult our experienced therapists at Freyja Medical to determine the best hair removal option tailored to your individual needs and skin type.
