Lasers represent a modern and effective approach to reducing unwanted hair growth, with results that are typically long-lasting and impressive. Our cutting-edge laser hair removal device utilises high-energy, long-pulse laser light that is specifically absorbed by the hair follicle and directed to the root of the hair for optimal results.

The Gentle Laser is widely recognised as the premier laser hair removal system available on the market today. It has been specifically developed to treat most hair and skin colours, including traditionally challenging cases such as red hair, fine facial hair, and darker skin tones including Asian and Afro-Caribbean complexions. This versatility makes our treatments accessible to a wider range of clients than many alternative systems.

Our Treatment Process

Laser energy is delivered through a precision-engineered handpiece operated by one of our experienced technicians. The laser delivers an intense, focused beam of light that is absorbed by the hair follicle and converted into heat energy. This heat deeply penetrates the hair follicle whilst the surrounding tissue remains unaffected, ensuring targeted treatment with minimal side effects.

You may experience some localised redness following your treatment. However, this typically subsides quickly, lasting only a few minutes to several hours after the procedure, depending on your skin sensitivity.

Before commencing treatment, your trained technician will perform a thorough pre-treatment skin analysis, including a patch test and consultation, to assess your tolerance to laser therapy. If the outcome is satisfactory, you will be able to commence your Laser Hair Removal treatment programme at your next appointment.

Comfort During Treatment

Gentle Laser Hair Removal treatments incorporate a patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) to maximise your comfort throughout the procedure. This innovative technology prepares the skin for treatment by spraying the upper layer with a cooling burst of Cryogen just milliseconds before the laser pulse. This synchronised cooling ensures that Gentle Laser Hair Removal treatments are as comfortable as they are effective, minimising discomfort whilst maintaining optimal results.

Important Precautions

During your Laser Hair Removal course, we strongly advise that you avoid sun exposure for four weeks before and after treatment. This includes any sun tanning beds or machines. If your skin is exposed to UV rays during this period, it may cause white pigmentation, which can persist for approximately three months, depending on your skin type and sun exposure levels.

For comprehensive guidance, please refer to our detailed Laser Precautions and Aftercare Instructions. You will receive a personalised copy at your initial consultation and patch test appointment.

Important Note: Laser treatment cannot be performed on tattooed skin, as the tattoo pigment will react to the laser energy and may cause burns or other complications.

Preparing for Your Initial Consultation

To ensure optimal results from your patch test and consultation:

• Please avoid applying any products, makeup, or perfumes to the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
• We recommend shaving the area you wish to have treated prior to your visit, as a patch test will be performed during this session.
• The patch test is an essential safety measure where a few pulses of the laser are applied to a small area of skin (similar to a miniature treatment) to assess any potential reactions to the treatment.

Treatment Duration and Frequency

Laser hair removal treatment times may vary depending on your specific needs and the areas being treated. Hair growth is progressively reduced after each treatment, with sessions typically scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks to align with your hair growth cycle.

The total number of treatments required will be determined based on several factors, including your hair colour and type, the treatment area, and your skin tone. Our specialists will develop a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

It’s important to note that laser hair removal is only effective on hairs containing pigment (melanin). This means that the treatment will not work on light blonde, white, or grey hairs, as they lack sufficient pigment to absorb the laser energy.

IPL vs Laser: Understanding the Difference

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is an alternative form of hair removal that works on similar principles to laser treatment. However, the energy in IPL is produced by a lamp that emits light in a variety of wavelengths, resulting in more diffused and less powerful energy delivery compared to laser technology.

A laser, by contrast, produces an intensely concentrated beam of light at a specific wavelength. This focused energy penetrates deeper than IPL and targets hair follicles with greater precision. Lasers are also extremely accurate, which leads to more powerful treatments and more effective, consistent results.

Why Laser Technology Is Superior

• Precision: Lasers use the exact wavelength needed to treat the hair effectively in each pulse.
• Versatility: Our laser technology can be used for both small, delicate areas and larger treatment zones.
• Customisation: Treatments can be precisely tailored to your specific skin tone and hair colour for optimal results.
• Comfort: The procedure is significantly less painful than alternative treatments such as electrolysis or waxing.
• Permanence: Lasers permanently reduce hair growth in the treated area, offering long-lasting results.
• Efficiency: Laser treatments generally require fewer sessions than IPL to achieve the desired outcome.

Whilst some salons and clinics opt for IPL technology due to its lower cost compared to medical-grade laser machines, at Park Private Clinic, we insist on providing only the best technology for all our clients. This commitment to excellence enables you to achieve superior results with fewer treatments. We have invested in acquiring only the very best laser hair removal technology because we would never settle for average results, and neither should you!

Most clients require 6-8 treatments for optimal results, though this varies based on individual factors including hair colour, thickness, and the treatment area.

Is the treatment painful?

Our Gentle Laser system incorporates cooling technology that significantly reduces discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a mild snapping against the skin.

How long does each session take?

Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated. Small areas, such as the upper lip, may take just 5 minutes, whilst larger areas, like the back or legs, may require 30-45 minutes.
