Permanent Hair Removal in Bath

For many women hair removal is a never ending, time consuming and laborious process, but it needn’t be such a hardship. We are now able to offer you an Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Therapy based treatment that drastically reduces unwanted hair.

The treatment works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair with the light from the system, and upon absorption the light is converted into heat. This intense heat action breaks down the hair follicle, reducing the opportunity for any re-growth and also changing the entire structure of the follicle itself; overtime altering the density and appearance of the hair until it becomes unnoticeable.

Prior to treatment the area is shaved before a thin layer of protective gel (similar to that used in ultra sound) is applied to maximise absorption. Finally our new machine is run over the area and a succession of light pulses are filtered into the hair follicle. The unique square head technology used in these treatments offer precision and accuracy that ensures that any risk of side effects is minimal. Any potentially harmful wave lengths are removed via the Unique Dual Filtering system, meaning that the light used is completely safe and visible.

Hair grows in three different cycles and our permanent hair reduction treatment can only successfully treat hair during its growth stage. Therefore it is often necessary to undergo a course of 3-6 treatments ensuring that you leave at least 6-8 weeks between each session initially, and then only repeat as and when the hair returns.

To ensure as many hair follicles are targeted as possible it is also important not to undergo any hair removal for at least four weeks before the appointment or during the course of treatment. The same rule applies to any sun treatments, as a tan will raise the pigment level in the skin and have a severe effect on the treatments success.

Skin type is a fundamental effecting factor in this treatment as due to the high level of pigment in the skin darker skin tones often experience more pain during treatment though generally it has been compared to the sensation of a rubber band pinging on your skin.

In the past there have been cases of darker skin’s experiencing burning and as a result many salons do not offer this treatment to those of colour. However we use the revolutionary HRD applicator to control the light levels used and prevent any side effects to darker skins.

With our IPL permanent hair reduction treatment there is little post-treatment care required, although people with sensitive skin may benefit from using a soothing cream for a few days following treatment.

FLS are delighted to offer our IPL treatment that guarantees permanent hair reduction.
