Fed up of plucking? Waxing or any other forms of painful, temporary hair removal?

An IPL hair removal treatment offers a long lasting solution to unwanted hair growth, leaving the skin smooth and hair free. Imagine no more shaving rashes to irritate the skin? The specialised IPL equipment targets the melanin in the hair and using specially designed filters is able to kill the hair follicle and the living cells around it, rendering it unable to produce new hair growth. IPL hair removal treatments are safe and non invasive and offer excellent long lasting results.

Laser hair removal is capable of achieving good results but IPL does better due to the fact that it is more flexible and the treatments can be programmed to each individuals hair and skin colour. If the hair is darker than the skin colour then the IPL is able to sucessfully treat the area. Hair removal is becoming more popular as it is a more permanent solution and areas such as bikini line, upper lip, chin, legs and most other areas can be treated.

This is a safe and non ivasive treatment that is a lot quicker than electrolysis as there is no need to target each hair individually. For permanent hair reduction an average of 6 treatments is required. Hair free, carefree solutions to hair removal, for your free consultation at our Maidstone treatment clinic please call 01622 600020 - you will be invited to attend a free consultation and a test patch will be carried out giving you the opportunity to feel the treatment, have any questions you may have answered as well as test your suitability for treatment.

Better still, you will no longer suffer from those annoying shaving spots, ingrown hairs or skin irritations. Too good to be true? Not with the Plasmalite™ FPL system.

TheMost Effective Method for Long Lasting Hair Removal

Plasmalite™ is a safe and efficient hair removal system that combines the advantages of a laser and Intense Pulse Light System. The Plasmalite™ technology is modern and offers successful results for the removal of unwanted hair growth. Hair can be removed from most skin types, if the hair is darker than the skin then a significant reduction in hair growth can be expected.

The Plasmalite™ Principle

The basic principle of the Plasmalite™ system is selective absorption. Each hair contains natural pigment known as melanin. The treatment head gives of light energy in the form of short flashes. The melanin absorbs the light right down to the hair follicle. The temperature is over 70 degrees which is the correct temperature for the best results, and it causes the hair follicle to die rendering it unable to produce any new hair.

What Happens During a Treatment Session?

In order to perform a treatment, a layer of cooling gel is placed over the skin. This gel helps guide the light through the skin while keeping it cool at the same time. Then you will notice a series of short flashes as the treatment head is moved over the target area. The results are not visible immediately; it will take a couple of weeks for the hair that has been captured to naturally grow out.

How Many Treatments are Necessary?

The exact number of treatments necessary is determined by the thickness of hair growth and where the hair grows. The first three treatments have the most visible effect but for exceptional results an average of six treatments are necessary. Your Plasmalite™ specialist will go over this in detail with you. You can then decide after each treatment whether you wish to continue further. The actual time it takes for a treatment is not very long, for example a treatment for unwanted facial hair can take just a matter of minutes.

What Does a Treatment Session Feel Like?

Most people say that they notice a light tingling sensation on the skin. Some people are more sensitive to that than others and may notice a slight redness of the skin after the treatment. These red areas will fade a few hours after the treatment.

Careful Preparation

A Plasmalite™ treatment session will be performed by a qualified specialist who will first take you through an intake questionnaire. It is important that you answer the questions on the form honestly as each person will react differently to treatment with light.
In between treatments you must not wax or pluck the hair, but shaving the area is permitted. You must also not be exposed to strong sun rays of have sun bed sessions for at least 4 weeks before a treatment.
