Laser/IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Hair Removal

We're delighted to announce that A New You is now offering laser IPL treatment to remove unwanted hair for both men and women.

Traditionally, hair removal by laser/IPL was a painful and laborious process involving up to 12 treatments for satisfactory results.  With the introduction of Intense Pulsed Light laser machines, it's a much more refined process and means you can get excellent results in up to 6 treatments, depending on the area being treated.

Who is it suitable for?

Laser/IPL is suitable for both women and men who have areas of unwanted hair which they wish to remove permanently without shaving, or using depilatory creams and agonising epilators.

It is not suitable for anyone who has a suntan or who has just been on holiday. Your tan masks your true skin colour so you need to wait until your tan has faded for us to establish the right energy levels.

Some popular areas that can be treated include:

Women:

  • Facial hair (upper lip, chin)
  • Underarms
  • Forearms
  • Nipple hair
  • Belly button/abdomen
  • Bikini line (including more extensive reduction such as 'Hollywood', 'Brazilian')
  • Legs

Men:

  • Male beard
  • Male chest, back and shoulder
  • Male intimate areas and buttocks

What can I expect?

Laser/IPL directs a controlled beam of light onto the affected area to kill the hair follicle in the growing stage. This treatment is not instant and it takes a course of treatments to get the best results, anything from 3-6 treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart depending on the extent of the area being treated - every area of the body has different growth stages.

Possible Risks and Side-effects

Burning and Blistering

We always do a patch test first so blistering or burning are extremely rare. This helps us identify the right energy level to use for your skin type and colour, and it's done at least 48 hours before your first treatment.

Redness

It's natural for there to be some redness after having laser/IPL treatment, and this will subside within 48 hours.

Recovery

This treatment does not have a recovery period, and you will be able to return to work immediately afterwards.

Success Rate

Laser/IPL is a highly successful treatment for both men and women.
