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. 

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

Laser 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.

Laser hair removal 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 hair removal treatment, it is important to avoid sun exposure, waxing, and plucking for several weeks. We recommend shaving the area the day before the treatment.

Aftercare Following Laser Hair Removal Treatment

After laser hair removal with the Motus AY, 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 laser hair removal.

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 length of a laser hair removal treatment 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 hair removal and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal are both popular methods for achieving long-term hair reduction, but they work in slightly different ways and have some notable differences. Here are some reasons why laser hair removal at Freyja Medical, Wrexham, may be a better option for some people:

Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle directly

Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light to target the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment and converts to heat, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. This direct targeting of the hair follicle allows for more precise treatment and better results for our clients!

IPL is less effective than laser:

Laser hair removal is generally considered to be more effective at reducing hair growth than IPL hair removal. This is because the laser energy is more concentrated and able to reach the hair follicle more effectively.

Fewer side effects with laser hair removal:

Some people experience side effects with IPL hair removal, such as redness, swelling, and blistering. These side effects are generally less common with laser hair removal, as the laser energy is more precise and targeted.

Our laser can be used on all skin types:

Laser hair removal can be effective on a wider range of hair and skin types than IPL hair removal. This is because the laser energy is absorbed more effectively by darker, coarser hairs, and can be adjusted to different skin tones. As IPL uses multiple wavelengths, it is dangerous to use on darker skin.

Laser hair removal requires fewer treatments:

Laser hair removal typically requires fewer treatments than IPL hair removal to achieve the desired results. This is because the laser energy is more concentrated and able to reach the hair follicle more effectively, leading to a higher rate of destruction.

Overall, laser hair removal may be a better option for people looking for a more effective, precise, and potentially longer-lasting hair reduction treatment with fewer side effects. However, it’s important to consult with our trained, experienced therapists at Freyja Medical to determine the best hair removal option for your individual needs and skin type.
