DESCRIPTION
For swift, relatively painless and lasting hair removal, more and more patients are choosing laser treatment. Certainly the most permanent form of hair removal, laser treatment works by directing heat towards the base of the hair follicles, which in turn prevents any further growth - or destroys the follicle entirely. Laser treatment is suitable for all skin types and bodily areas: we use three different lasers, allowing us to choose the most appropriate for each patient.

RISKS
There are no serious risks associated with hair removal. You should ensure that you do not have any infection around the affected area, and patients who have recently been treated for acne should speak to a consultant.
The success and permanency of the treatment will depend on each individual patient.
DURATION OF RESULTS
It is possible to completely eliminate hair from the affected area, but not guaranteed. Many patients report re-growth within 12 months, but the new hair will be lighter and less dense.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it effective?
Yes, the technology is backed by world wide clinical research studies with proven results.
The most effective results have been achieved on fair skin and darker hair. It is not suitable for black or sun tanned skin. The treatment is also unlikely to work for blond or grey hair.
How many treatments are needed?
Depilite only destroys hairs when they are in the growth phase. At any one moment 20% of hairs are resting or dormant. Repeated sessions will treat these hairs when they re-enter the growth phase. Generally all areas will require at least eight to ten treatments.
This depends on many factors including your skin and hair type, ethnic background, hormonal balance and skin sensitivity. It is not possible to categorically state how many treatments an individual will need, however this will be discussed at your consultation.
What parts of the body can be treated?
Depilite can treat all external areas of the body and face.
What does a treatment involve?
A cool gel is applied to the area to be treated. The Depilite handpiece is placed gently against the skin and pulses of intense light are delivered into the hairs. At the time of the treatment some of the hairs are wiped off, however it can take up to two weeks for all the treated hairs to fall out.
