Excess and unwanted hair is a common problem for men and women for a varity of reasons. Women frequently experience this condition on the face, especially the upper lip. The bikini line, underarms and legs. Men often have unwanted hair on their back or chest, between the eyebrows or on other parts of their face.

Conventional treatments may include shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams, providing temporary fixes that are often incovenient, messy and irritating to the skin.

Hair Reduction Treatments

Can last from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to specific skin types and the thickness and desity of the hair. Several treatments may be necessary to achieve the best results. Time between sessions depends on the area being treated; this can range from 4-16 weeks. As the Naturalux system is so effective we would only recommend bulk booking 3 sessions at a time. Certain body parts require fewer treatments than others; your therapist will advise you of this in your consultation. Treatments are customised according to hair colour, there needs to be pigment in the hair to be treated, as a result we cannot remove white hair. Scientific studies show that the use of targeted, light based energy actually damages or destroys hair follicles at the cellular level. This means a permanent reduction in the number of regrowing hairs is usually acheived following each treatment.

The Naturalux unique "Freeze Head" technology ensures a PAINLESS application unlike most other IPL systems.

There are very little side effects with this system, however you must limit sun exposure before and after each treatment.
