Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Once offered only by the medical profession, laser hair removal is now available at Sue Shields. The principle of laser treatment is very similar to the old type of electrolysis, in that it is heat travelling down the hair and destroying the hair germ cells but, unlike electrolysis, new technology delivers heat much more effectively and accurately to the root.

The laser is attracted to the melanin in the hair follicle, so, unfortunately, if you are very blonde, or have white hairs, this treatment is not suitable for you. We advise you not to sunbathe, or use self-tan, in the area to be treated for at least 4 weeks before and after treatment, as we want the laser to work on the melanin in the hairs, not in the skin.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment Costs

The cost and number of treatments are dependant on the size of the area, texture and hair density. Where hair growth is sparse, costs may be lower, a quote will be given at the time of consultation.

Transdermal Electrolysis

This is pain free, with no swelling, bruising or scarring. The electrode pads are successfully used on underarm, bikini-line, leg and facial area. More permanent hair removal can be achieved by using our Laser/IPL treatment.
