Excess Hair
How Is Excess Hair Treated?
Is unwanted hair on your face or body causing you inconvenience or making you feel self-conscious? Our excess hair treatments can assist you in removing any hair that you are not happy with, no matter where it is located. At Manor Health, we offer laser hair removal using a medically graded laser and the gold standard for laser hair removal. The machine we use is the Duetto EVO, it has both Alexandrite and ND Yag Lasers, making it safe and suitable for any skin type.
This is the most popular and effective method for eliminating excess hair. It does this by using laser energy to destroy the stem cells responsible for hair growth.
A course of 8-12 treatments (depending on the area) is recommended to achieve optimal results. Our laser hair removal treatment will lead to long-lasting results.
What Is Excess Hair?
Excess hair refers to the abnormal or unwanted hair growth. This could be in dark, coarse hair regions like the face, chest, back, or limbs. The actual cause of excess hair could be due to a variety of factors, such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, medications, or medical conditions, meaning the treatment outcome may vary depending on the cause.
There are many options for removing excess hair, such as shaving or waxing. Whilst these treatments are a temporary measure, problems such as ingrowing hairs and visible hair regrowth will still occur. When you invest in our previously mentioned laser hair removal treatment you will benefit from permanent hair removal without these problems.
If you are struggling with excess hair anywhere on your body, don’t hesitate to contact us today and book an appointment at our clinic in Leeds. We will also happily answer any questions you may have.
What Are Ingrown Hairs?
Ingrown hairs appear when hair is removed via a method such as shaving, waxing, or plucking and the hair grows back into the skin instead of rising out of the follicle. This can result in inflammation, redness, painful bumps and folliculitis. Ingrown hairs are most common in areas where hair is frequently removed, such as the face, neck, bikini line, and legs, being much more common in people who have curly or coarse hair. Having ingrown hairs anywhere on your body can be uncomfortable and unsightly and if left untreated, it may also lead to an infection.
Laser hair removal will eliminate ingrown hairs and is also a long-term solution to folliculitis.
