Could laser hair removal make your routine easier?

For many people, unwanted hair is less about appearance and more about the time and thought that goes into managing it.

You may be tired of:

• shaving regularly
• booking or carrying out waxing
• dealing with regrowth
• managing ingrown hairs
• planning around holidays, weekends or special occasions
• simply having one more thing to think about

Laser hair removal can help reduce hair growth over a course of treatments, making day-to-day maintenance simpler.

The Benefits

Longer-lasting hair reduction

Hair growth can become progressively reduced over a course of treatments, with remaining hair often becoming finer and less noticeable.

Less regular maintenance
Spend less time shaving or waxing and less time thinking about unwanted hair.

Can help with ingrown hairs
Reducing hair growth may also help reduce the problems associated with repeated shaving and waxing for some people.

Treatment tailored to you
Your skin, hair and treatment area are considered when determining the most appropriate approach.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses controlled light energy that is absorbed by pigment in the hair. The energy is delivered to the hair follicle, helping to reduce its ability to produce new hair. Because hair grows through different stages, a course of treatments is normally needed. This allows hairs to be treated during the stage of growth when they are most responsive to the laser. Over time, you may notice less hair growth and finer, less noticeable hair. Results vary from person to person and depend on factors including your hair, skin and the area being treated.

Your skin comes first

Before beginning treatment, we'll look at your skin and hair and talk through what you would like to achieve. A patch test is carried out before treatment begins, and we'll explain what to expect, how to prepare and how to care for your skin afterwards. If laser hair removal isn't appropriate for you, we'll tell you. The aim is to make sure you feel informed and comfortable with the treatment you're choosing — not to sell you something that isn't right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

Laser hair removal normally requires a course because hair grows through different cycles. The number of treatments varies depending on the area being treated, your hair, skin and individual response.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Everyone experiences treatment differently. Most clients find the Eneka Pro laser treatment very comfortable with most people not feeling anything. The Eneka Pro system incorporates cooling to help make treatment more comfortable.

Can I shave between treatments?

Yes. Shaving is generally recommended between treatments. Waxing and plucking should be avoided because they remove the hair from the follicle that the laser needs to target.

Can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?

Reducing hair growth can help reduce the repeated shaving and waxing that may contribute to ingrown hairs. However, results vary between individuals.

Can men have laser hair removal?

Yes. Laser hair removal is suitable for both women and men, with treatment tailored to the individual.

How long does treatment take?

This depends on the area being treated. Smaller areas can be treated relatively quickly, while larger areas take longer.

Do I need a patch test?

Yes. A patch test is required before laser treatment begins.

What happens if laser isn't suitable for me?

Your suitability is assessed before treatment. If laser hair removal isn't appropriate for you, we'll explain why rather than proceeding with a treatment that isn't suitable.
