Laser Hair Removal

At Brixworth Laser & Skincare, Brixworth, Northampton we have the only Magma Diode Laser technology in Northamptonshire.

The Magma Diode Laser Hair Removal is a gentle yet effective solution that prevents hair from growing back permanently. It features one of the fastest hair removal treatments in the world, allowing coverage of up to 13.5cm2 per second, which makes it the optimal hair removal treatment. Unlike IPL which is not laser, Diode Lasers penetrate deep into the hair follicles and can target even the most coarse or stubborn hairs. Fewer sessions are also required because of its effectiveness in reducing hair.

It works on all skin types from 1 to 5 and all hair types including red and blonde

HOW IS IT DONE?

Step 1: Unwanted hair is shaved before cold gel is applied to the area.

Step 2: The laser is applied to the skin, to selectively heat and destroy the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding tissue (the skin).

Step 3: The gel is wiped off – and just like that, you’re done!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER?

• Mild redness and swelling are common and normal temporary reactions.
• You may feel some ‘regrowth’ after, which is actually the lasered hair being pushed out of the hair shaft.
• Lasered hair should fall out within 2-4 weeks.
