About Laser Hair Removal
We use different machines at Ossett Laser clinic:
Our Eneka PRO Diode Laser has the highest power of any professional
Diode Laser Hair removal machine currently available.​ It is a CE Medical Grade system that provides clinically proven,
painless treatments and with permanent results.
We also use the Polaris solid state Nd:Yag for Laser hair removal on darker Fitzpatrick skin types, the Polaris penetrates deeper into the skin, heating the follicle at the root and not the surface leading to long lasting results, safe for all skin types and includes a cooling system for a more comfortable treatment. ​
Because we have invested in the best technology we can treat all skin types and all area's of the body.

How does it work?
Following the principle of the selective photothermolysis, the laser transforms the light emitted into heat, to selectively destroy the germinative cells of the pilous follicle. The melanin, the substance that gives the hair its colour, absorbs the laser light emitted and transforms it into heat, causing the denaturing of the pilous bulb without damaging the surrounding tissue.
​
How many treatments are required?
The number of sessions depends on the body area to be treated, colour and thickness of the hair, skin type and the specific features of each patient. The treatment requires several sessions, since you must always treat the hair in the anagen or growth phase, and this is longer or shorter depending on the body areas.
​
Typically we recommend 8-12 sessions of initial treatment, further sessions, may be required after this
Is it painful?
The advanced cooling system keeps the hand piece tip cold, and therefore the treatment zone, rendering unnecessary the use of anaesthetics.
Your treatment plan
Initially we will provide a consultation to explain the treatment in detail and assess your suitability. We will cover a complete medical questionnaire and provide you with all the information you need to be comfortable proceeding with treatment including very clear costing and pre and post treatment instruction and advice . We would then perform a patch test to ensure no adverse reaction and you can begin your first session two days later. You will have approximately 8-12 sessions 6-8 weeks apart. Some people may require more maintenance treatments but we can advise you during your consultation.
