Every single hair has its own hair follicle from which it grows, in order to permanently destroy this, controlled pulses of light are moved over the skin. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and sent down into the hair shaft. The melanin turns the light energy into heat a process known as photothermolysis and is transferred to the hair follicle permanently destroying it, therefor no new hairs are able to grow.

Does it Hurt?

Our machines in our Liverpool clinic have the latest crystal freeze cooling element which makes your treatment comfortable and pain free. As the hair follicle is destroyed with heat the cooling element on the head counter acts this so it doesn’t feel hot or painful. The sensation can be described as a mild flick from an elastic band. It is possible for some mild redness to occur after the treatment but this subsides quickly usually within 24 hours.
