Unwanted Facial & Body Hair

Introduction to unwanted facial & body hair

‍

Unwanted hair can be a constant source of frustration, whether it’s on the face, legs, underarms, or bikini line. Shaving, waxing, and plucking are all temporary fixes that can leave you dealing with stubble, irritation, or regrowth within days.

‍

At Elite Skin Studio, we offer two advanced, long-term hair removal solutions: Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis. Let’s break down which option is right for you, depending on your hair type and your goals.

‍

‍

Laser Hair Removal: The best choice for dark hair

‍

If your hair is dark (whether on the body or face), Laser Hair Removal is the most effective option for permanent hair reduction.

‍

Why Laser Hair Removal Works for Dark Hair:

‍
Laser hair removal targets the melanin in hair, which absorbs the light from the laser. Dark hair has more melanin, making it a better target for the laser’s energy. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, causing damage to the hair follicle, ultimately leading to long term hair loss after multiple sessions.

‍

What Makes Laser Hair Removal the Right Choice:

‍

• Quick & Effective: Laser hair removal works efficiently on dark hair, providing noticeable results after a few sessions.
  
  
• Large Areas: It’s ideal for larger areas like the legs, back, and bikini line as it can cover more skin in less time.
  
  
• Minimal Discomfort: Modern lasers, like our Cynosure Elite+, are designed to be as comfortable as possible, with built-in cooling mechanisms to minimise pain.

‍

Electrolysis: The right choice for light hair

‍

If your hair is white, blonde, grey, or red, Electrolysis is the solution.

‍

Why Electrolysis Works for Light Hair:

‍
Unlike laser, electrolysis doesn’t rely on melanin. Instead, it uses a tiny electrical current to destroy the hair follicle’s ability to grow hair. This makes it ideal for lighter or finer hairs that laser cannot effectively treat.

‍

What Makes Electrolysis the Right Choice:

‍

• Works on All Hair Types and Skin Tones: Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal on all hair colours and skin types.
  
  
• Precision: Electrolysis can be used on smaller, more precise areas such as the eyebrows, upper lip, chin, and bikini line.
  
  
• Permanent Results: Electrolysis provides permanent hair removal after a series of treatments.

What should you expect?

‍

Laser Hair Removal:

‍

• Consultation & Patch Test: Before your first treatment, we’ll book a complimentary consultation to assess your hair and skin type. A patch test is performed to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.
  
  
• During Treatment: The treatment itself is quick, with minimal discomfort. The laser will feel like a small “snap” on your skin, but the cooling mechanism helps make the experience more comfortable.
  
  
• Aftercare: You may experience slight redness or swelling, but this should subside within a few hours. Avoid sun exposure and use SPF after treatment. Multiple sessions are required, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.
  
  

Electrolysis:

‍

• Consultation & Taster Session: We’ll begin with a consultation to evaluate your hair type and discuss your goals. After the consultation, you can book a taster session so you can experience the treatment firsthand.
  
  
• During Treatment: Electrolysis involves a fine probe that sends an electrical current to the hair follicle. Each hair is treated individually, which makes it perfect for smaller areas. Expect a mild sensation, but most people find it quite tolerable.
  
  
• Aftercare: There may be some redness or swelling immediately after the treatment, but this usually resolves within a few hours. Avoid touching the treated area and follow the aftercare advice to ensure the best results.
