Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal offers a safe alternative to waxing, shaving or epilation to get rid of unwanted hair.

Here at Hilton Skin & Body Clinics, we use the latest-generation Soprano ICE Platinum to administer laser hair removal.  Effortlessly advanced and cutting-edge, this technology offers three different wavelengths of light to provide a tailored, specified treatment producing the best possible hair reduction results for you.

Laser hair removal can be used on a variety of areas on the body, including:

• Legs

• Armpits & arms

• Face

• Bikini line & other intimate areas

• Back & chest

 

Is Laser Hair Removal Suitable For Everyone?

Typically, laser hair removal is considered to be most effective on those with dark hair. This is because the hair pigment dramatically contrasts with skin colour, resulting in a higher rate of light absorption. 

​

At Hilton Skin & Body Clinic we offer Laser Hair Removal to men and women over the age of sixteen.

​

How Does It Work?

The laser beam is attracted to the melanin within the hair.  The light is converted into heat which travels down the hair, into the bulb and destroys the dermal papillae which are responsible for regeneration of the hair,

​

Is There Any Downtime?

Treatment is virtually pain free and there is little or no downtime.  Some may experience mild redness or sensitivity immediately after treatment.  This is temporary and should subside within a few hours.

​

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

As general guide, a course of at least 6 to 8 treatments is required for optimal results.  Sessions are usually spaced approximately 6 weeks apart.  More treatments may be required in some cases where hair is very resistant to treatment.

​

When Will I See Results?

You will notice a gradual reduction in hair growth after each treatment. This is because laser hair removal only treats hair in the anagen phase of growth (when hair follicles are growing rapidly) and only some of your hair is in this phase of growth at any given time. This rate of growth varies from person to person. During your consultation, the practitioner will be able to advise on how your hair will likely respond to the treatment.
