Unwanted Hair
Reduce Unwanted Hair
Dark hair can appear anywhere on the face and body which is often difficult to remove and distressing for sufferers.
Excess hair might appear anywhere on the body. Most common places include the legs, back, chest and face. Both men and women suffer from excess hair and it can be a constant source of frustration and irritation for many people of varying ages.
The problem with excess hair is that many people believe it looks unsightly and unattractive. Women, in particular, will know from shaving their legs and armpits that body hair in these areas is not generally accepted, so they might use razors or wax the hair off.
The problem with these traditional methods is that they are only temporary, giving relief only for a short time frame before the hair grows back thicker and stronger. Constant shaving and plucking also encourage ingrown hairs and skin irritation – another reason why you should invest in a more long-term, effective and safe method of hair removal.

Causes of Excess Hair
Most of us are naturally born with hair on our arms, underarms, bikini area and legs, which can be challenging to maintain. Excess hair in other areas of the body is often hereditary or
caused by hormonal imbalances.

Prevention of Unwanted Hair
You cannot prevent excess hair, only treat it effectively with Laser Hair Removal. Laser treatment affects hair in the active growth phase (anagen stage). The laser beam is made up of precisely controlled pulses of energy which are absorbed by the melanin or pigment in the hair and reaches into the active hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, safely destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.
