Unwanted hair can be a persistent problem for both men andwomen and many people suffer with it throughout theirlifetime.

As a body-conscious nation we spend much of our valuabletime removing unwanted hair. We’d all love to be able to wearwhat we want when we want without the worry of revealingthe offending areas!

Many people need a solution better than shaving, which leavesa tell tale shadow and if not frequently performed results inprickly stubble. But the removal products bought on the highstreet don’t tackle the problem properly, can sometimes beexcruciatingly painful and unfortunately do not provide a longterm solution. Other treatments such as waxing andelectrolysis can be painful and carry a risk of scarring.

T H E S O L U T I O N

At SkinGenesis our hair removal treatments provide aconvenient, safe and successful way of removing unwantedhair. They significantly reduce the chance of the hair everreturning.

Using Variable Pulsed Light (VPL) technology, the mostadvanced and effective hair removal system available, we canremove the need for shaving, waxing, plucking or electrolysis.

Each treatment plan is designed specifically by one of ourexperienced consultants to suit the person’s skin type, haircolour and treatment area and to ensure maximum results.

T H E R E S U L T S

You will walk away with soft & rejuvenated hair free skin,feeling comfortable to show off your body without having toworry about problem areas.

In addition it will revolutionise your beauty regime as you canforget about waxing, shaving and all those ‘miracle’ creams!

Info Fact Sheets/ Story – Sophie’s – Hair Reduction

Sophie’s Story Never having to wax again

I have spent a fortune over the last 15 years at the beauticians! Every month I would get my legs, underarms and bikini line waxed and as a result, the hair grew quite coarsely and my skin was often quite aggravated after the treatment. It seemed to have become a vicious circle and my husband couldn’t believe how much I spent! In a glossy magazine, I read about the latest in hair removal and it sounded brilliant. A course of treatments would mean I would never have to wax or shave again. So I looked up where I could have it done locally and found SkinGenesis. I went into the clinic for an initial consultation and signed up immediately to a course of Intense Pulsed Light. My husband paid up front for 6 sessions and it was the best Christmas present I have ever had! By summer my legs were hair free and I had the added bonus of soft, smooth skin which, I understand, is a side effect of the treatment. They advised me that some new hairs may appear over time but they will be very fine and will be easily dealt with - I won’t have to go back to waxing. I found it so easy to fit the treatments into my life as they never took more than an hour and were much more comfortable than waxing. The treatments themselves were a breeze! All I had to do was relax on a treatment bed while the therapist worked her way up and down my legs pressing the applicator against the skin and triggering the light. Sometimes the skin was a bit red afterwards but this subsided by the time I was home. Even after just the first treatment, the hairs left growing seemed to be finer and less of a nuisance than they were before. After 6 treatments, I am hair free and can’t believe how successful the course has been - my friend has already begun her course!

Fact Sheet – Hair Removal

Fact Sheet. Hair Removal Treatments

Treatment Type. Hair removal using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Treatment Objectives. Permanent reduction in the number of follicles capable of actively producing unwanted hair.

Suitability. Suitable for males and females of any age over 16, most skin types, and colours, looking to achieve long term reduction in the amount of unwanted hair. Treatment Overview Hair is removed by a series of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments that heat the hair follicles and makes the root incapable of further hair growth. It is only possible to disable the follicle root if the hair is in the ‘growth stage’. Hair will be in one of three stages; growth, dormant or dead. IPL is the very latest treatment for hair removal. IPL uses specific wavelengths of light that are the optimum for absorption by the melanin in hair yet at the same time minimizing the trauma to the skin. IPL differs from laser by being able to deliver greater energies at optimum wavelengths while causing less damage to the skin. These qualities make IPL more effective and safer than laser. Unlike laser treatments IPL is excellent for hair removal on darker skins. Treatment commences with a thorough cleansing of the area. Eye protection is applied for the duration of the procedure. The area to be treated is covered in a special optical gel. The gel will keep the area cool while enabling the transmission of light into the skin. A light applicator is pressed against the skin and a short pulse of high-energy light is emitted treating all hair follicles in an area of 5cm2. The applicator is then moved to an adjacent area and the process is repeated until all the hair follicles have been treated. The gel is then removed and aloe vera is applied to the treated area. Most clients find the treatment quite comfortable. When the light is emitted there is a sensation of a hot pinprick. IPL is the safest and most comfortable way of removing hair quickly. Normally after treatment it may take between 7 to 14 days for the hair to fall out. Recovery Time For most clients no recovery time is needed. However in some circumstances where the treated area has a high density of dark thick hair topical cooling may be required. Clients may experience redness of the treated area for up to half an hour. In some circumstances this may be longer. Please turn over ..

Before After

Fact Sheet – Hair Removal

Typical course duration The amount of treatments depends on the expected result. Sustained hair loss can be noticed after 3 treatments. For total loss, more treatments will be needed dependent on the area treated and the individual. The normal treatment interval is about 6 weeks. However this may vary from person to person and area to area. Cost (full face) Consultation, free of charge. Prices vary according to the area treated. Discounts are given for multiple areas, students, and PCOS clients. Contra Indications IPL hair removal treatments should not be carried out if the client is pregnant or breast feeding, suffers from epilepsy or suffers from light induced skin rashes. The treatment is ineffective on red, white or grey hair. Fine blond hair can be difficult to treat. Certain conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome can affect the overall result of the treatment and further treatments are often required. Clients should avoid suntans, self tanning and spray tans, while on a course of IPL treatments. Risks Our experience is that there are fewer risks with IPL hair removal than with other methods of depilation, including lasers, waxing and plucking. At the energies required for hair removal there are minimal risks for pale skins. When IPL is used on darker skins there can be a risk of hyper or hypo pigmentation, for this reason we always test darker skins for sensitivity. Dependent on the area treated, tiny red spots may develop around the hair follicle after treatment. These will disappear within a few days. There are no long-term adverse side effects. IPL hair removal has FDA approval in the USA for both efficacy and safety. Satisfaction Guarantee SkinGenesis has a unique Satisfaction Guarantee, details of which will be discussed during the consultation. Accessibility If you have any disabilities please enquire about our Disability Policy.
