Laser Hair Removal Treatment
If you would like the most effective form of permanent hair reduction, at the most competitive prices in the North of England and be treated in a professional, clinical environment then Simply Smooth is right for you. Over 166,000 laser hair removal treatments were carried out in the UK in 2005. There are over 100 laser hair removal clinics in London, alone. Laser hair removal is a vast, hugely popular treatment, worldwide.
Following extensive research and like many Harley Street salons here at Simply Smooth we use the Polaris ND Yag laser hair removal system. This type of laser offers you the most successful laser treatment for unwanted hair. It is safe, effective and treats all skin types from one to six.

The Technology
The laser safely emits intense light directly through the skin to the melanin in the hair follicle, which is then destroyed and therefore unable to produce new hair. After a number of treatments hair growth will be permanently reduced. Each hair follicle lies either; live (when the hair is growing), dormant (inactive) or dead. Repeat treatment is required, to catch most possible hair cycles i.e. when the hair follicle is live and hair is growing. Once the machine has been set to the correct wavelength, the laser is delivered from a hand piece by the clinician. The skin is sectioned into small areas and each is lasered in turn. In the following two weeks, treated hair will continue to grow and then fall out. From the first treatment and thereafter you will see at least a 40% reduction in hair.
Long-Term Effectiveness
At Simply Smooth we are realistic about treatment expectations. Medically, there is no form of hair removal, which can be legally described as permanent for life. Nd Yag laser hair removal is the most effective form of hair reduction; this can be up to 90% long-term reduction of hair. Changes in hormone levels due to pregnancy or menopause can liven previously dormant hair follicles and some hair growth may become visible. A one off session of laser can eliminate these. Any hair growth following laser is usually thinner and lighter in colour.
Discomfort
Laser hair removal is actually a relatively painless procedure for most people. Each of us has a different pain threshold and the most severely reported experience has been described as akin to a pinprick. Others describe the treatment as an elastic band being snapped on the skin surface. Most people lay back and enjoy their favourite music whilst being treated.
Risks & Side Effects
A laser patch test is mandatory at Simply Smooth this is to ensure that there are no adverse reactions to the treatment. These are extremely rare. A full medical history check is completed to ensure that there are no risks to you. Again, there are very few medical concerns, which prohibit the use of laser. The laser hair removal procedure itself is very simple. Both the clinician and client wear goggles, whilst the laser is directed onto the skin. A mild tingling sensation is usually experienced and clients usually chat quite happily whilst feeling comfortable and relaxed. When carried out by a trained clinician the process is harmless and completely safe. Our clinicians are fully experienced and certified in using laser technology and undergo continuous supervision and update courses. After laser hair removal, skin can appear slightly pink. This usually resides within a few hours.
Our clients travel from as far as Manchester, for our competative and effective laser hair removal treatment.
