PCOS LASER HAIR REMOVAL LEEDS & CHESHIRE

It is the only device in the world to use the BLENDX technology, which uses a combination of two wavelengths to provide the best results. SPLENDOR X can treat any skin type, even tanned skin! We are confident that the Splendor X is the best laser hair removal machine available today,

Not sure what your skin type is? Use our Fitzpatrick scale below:

Type 1: always burns, never tans (pale, freckles).

Type 2: usually burns, minimal tanning.

Type 3: sometimes burns mildly, tans uniformly.

Type 4: burns minimally, always tans well (moderate brown).

Type 5: very rarely burns, tans very easily (dark brown).

Type 6: never burns (deeply pigmented dark brown to darkest brown).

When passed over the skin surface, the  laser emits light energy which is absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair. This targets the hair follicles at the root and destroys them, which prevents regrowth.  The hair can be at various stages in the growth cycle, and therefore it is recommended to have at least 6 sessions to ensure all the follicles are targeted at the right time. If you find a laser hair removal clinic offering laser hair removal that uses less sessions, be wary. The hair growth cycle means that at least 6 sessions are always needed.

On average around 6 sessions, however this can vary depending on the area of the body treated and any medical conditions such as hormonal imbalance. You should need fewer sessions compared to other laser devices thanks to the BLEND X technology, as it combines two laser wavelengths (Alexandrite and ND:YAG) to achieve better results.

Lasers are most effective when the hair shaft is in the anagen phase (growing phase), therefore you will need multiple treatments to significantly reduce unwanted hair growth. Our practitioner will advise you on the number needed and what to expect.

After treatment, the reaction varies from person to person. You may experience some redness and hair follicle swelling directly after treatment, which can be normal. As you progress through the course of your treatments, you will notice less hair growth. We advise applying SPF 50 every day and avoiding sun bathing for 2 weeks. 

Shave 12-24 hours before the treatment to ensure comfort and an accurate treatment. We also advise exfoliating 3 days prior. This will all be explained in your treatment plan. We want you to obtain optimum results and our experienced therapists will do all they can to help you through your laser hair removal treatment process. 

Please avoid the application of fake tan for 2 weeks pre-treatment and do not use any other hair removal method except shaving.

There is no reason to say that laser energy is not safe for expectant mothers and those breastfeeding , but the lack of trials means it should not be used. Also those taking certain medications such as Roaccutane for acne, have keloid scars, have or have had skin cancer, or are taking photosensitive medications.

Your practitioner will run through these things at your free consultation to ensure you are suitable. In case of doubt, our lasers meet the criteria to be safely used on all skin tones including darker skin types. They are also suitable for light and dark hair.

Absolutely! Not only women enjoy hair free skin with a laser hair removal treatment. It is a very popular treatment for men regardless of skin and hair type, and is effective for all areas of the body. Common areas for the laser treatment are cheeks, upper arms, full chest, shoulder blades, and stomach.  Men often come into the clinic for facial hair line definition.

The SPLENDOR X uses a dual cooling system Cryo-Tip and Cryo-Air. The Cryo-Tip is designed to deliver the Cryo-Air air over the laser beam, so it is precise to the treatment area to remove heat from the tissue. This ensures treatments are virtually painless. 

This depends on the area treated, however we do offer discounted prices on 6 sessions for all body areas. We also offer treatments and entire body packages. Please note price is reflected on the excellent quality of the medical grade laser machine and the treatment provided and feel we have the best prices when this is taken into consideration. We pride ourselves in using the best devices in the world with clinically proven results.

You can have laser hair removal directly before injectable treatments, but must wait 2 weeks after having injectable treatments first, to allow the injection site to heal.

You must wait 2 weeks in between laser hair reduction and HydraFacial or medical grade peels to avoid any adverse reactions. Please let us know if you have had any other skin treatments prior to starting a hair removal session.

Yes, you can still have treatment but must stop using products with active ingredients such as salicylic acid, tretinoin and benzyl-peroxide 72 hours before and after laser hair removal.

No. Laser hair removal treats one of the symptoms of PCOS, - excessive hair growth. It does not address the underlying hormonal imbalance. It’s a cosmetic solution, not a hormonal treatment.

You may notice hair reduction after a few sessions, but for those with PCOS, it typically takes 6 to 8 sessions plus maintenance to achieve lasting improvement.

Yes, most PCOS medications are safe alongside laser treatments. If you are taking any medication that increases sun sensitivity or affects skin healing, please discuss this with us during your consultation.

Absolutely. Laser hair removal can significantly reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs, which are common in people with PCOS due to coarse regrowth.
