The Laser light is absorbed by the melanin (the black pigment) in the hair, causing the hair follicle to heat up and hence destroying it. The Aesthetician uses a hand piece to localize the laser to the area being treated. Laser hair removal works by destroying the bulge in the root of the hair and hence preventing hair growth. What areas can be treated? The hair can be removed from your back, arms, legs, chin, virtually anywhere. This method of hair removal can be used on any part of the body and is utilised by both males and females. How many sessions will I need and how far apart should I have them? Six treatments are usually required to ensure optimal results as at any given time the laser only treats hair that are in the growth phase of the cycle. These treatments need to be repeated at 4 weekly intervals for the face and 6-8 weekly intervals for the body. Am I a suitable candidate / what are the Contra-indications? With this laser we can safely treat all skin types including Asian and Dark skin types. All skin types 1-6 are suitable for this treatment. A patch test is recommended prior to your treatment, and it is advisable to not be in the sun for 4 weeks post treatment. The main Contra-indication of this treatment is pregnancy and breastfeeding however you may also be an unsuitable candidate due to tanning of the skin and various medical conditions. Other contradictions would be cold sores, suspicious moles, tattoo’s or semi-perm makeup, active infections on treatment area. If you are not sure if you are a suitable candidate please contacts the clinic for further advice. What results can I expect? The best results are seen in the treatment of dark hair on a light skin. After a course of treatments with Laser hair removal hair growth will be significantly minimal. Are there any side effects? It is normal for you to experience some minor side effects after treatment. These can include: Swelling around the mouth of treated follicles for around three days Pain, tingling or numbness Itching on the treated area Redness on the treated area for around three days after treatment Downtime and Aftercare / post treatment advice? There is no down time with laser hair removal however: Do NOT depilate between LASER treatments with waxing, plucking, threading or creams that will disturb the hair follicle.

Testimonials M.S, Gravesend "I have been seeing Gita for laser hair removal on my face. Within two treatments, in addition to the hair removal, I have noticed that the scarring on my face (due to a childhood accident) has reduced by 95%. I am really pleased with the results for the hair removal and the effect on the scarring has been a bonus. A lot of people have commented on how much better it's looking. So glad I came to the clinic." H.M, Chatham "I spoke to the therapist regarding the hairs on my legs, my main concern was that even when I shaved you could see the dark hairs. I now have had three treatments and the darkness that worried me the most has gone and further more the hairs are a lot less. So glad I was told about the clinic, everyone is so helpful and understanding." K.K, Gravesend "I have PCOS and as a result of that I had some unwanted facial hair growing. I've had 3 treatments of laser so far and 90% of the hair is no longer growing back. I think it’s a great success and well worth the money." B.K "I have been going to Gita for over 6 years now for laser and microdermabrasion facials. The results are great and my skin is always glowing after my treatment. I would never go anywhere else now. I find Gita to be honest and advises me on how best to care for my skin."
