LASER HAIR REMOVAL
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution to getting rid of unwanted body hair, you may want to consider laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is a common cosmetic procedure in which highly concentrated light is beamed into the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light, which destroys the follicle.
A safe and effective alternative to other hair removal methods like shaving and waxing, laser hair removal promises a significant reduction of unwanted hair, especially when done by a trained professional using the correct type of laser for your skin type.

Our Machine
Here in SKINDSTNY, We use ecodiode for our laser machine, a CE Medical Approved device which is not only effective but has a benefit to our planet.
The machines have been designed to be low wastage and sustainable without compromising on power and performance. On the contrary it is more powerful and effective than many on the market.
3 Wave Diode Laser Hair removal is the most up to date technology using 3 laser wavelengths to treat all hair types from blonde to dark, thick to fine and for all skin types from skin type I to VI, one of the few lasers to be able to safely treat skin type VI.
The mixed wavelengths diode laser combines the three most effective laser wavelengths (755nm 808nm 1064nm) in a single machine, and 3 wavelengths works together and targeting different tissue depths and anatomical structures within the hair follicles. By combining absorption and penetration levels of different wavelengths, as well as extended treatment coverage, increase comfort and reduce maintenance requirements
Using 3 different size tips allows for hard to reach areas to be treated, it has a 360 degree cooling which doesnt allow the tip to go above -4 degrees centigrade, making it less hot and far more comfortable than most laser machines and due to the energy reaching the treatment area directly without energy loss making the treatment more focused and effective, giving quicker results.
The Endymed machine also offers facial rejuvenation benefits. It employs advanced laser technology that stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and elasticity. This dual function means that while you’re achieving smooth, hair-free skin, you’re also promoting a more youthful appearance. The rejuvenation aspect can reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, making it a comprehensive solution for both hair removal and skin revitalization.
What to expect during the procedure
Several steps take place during a laser hair removal session. The length of treatment depends on the size of the area being treated. For example, treating a large area like the back may take more than an hour, but a smaller area like the upper lip may only take a few minutes.
First, you’ll be given special protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the bright laser light. Then, our skilled technician will adjust the laser settings to match your skin type and hair color.
As the treatment starts, you’ll feel quick, sharp sensations as the laser targets the hair follicles. It’s similar to the quick snap of a rubber band against your skin. The length of each session can vary, usually lasting from a few minutes to about an hour, depending on the area being treated. This ensures that the hair removal is thorough and effective, following the best standards in skincare.
Most people will need approximately six to eight sessions, spaced six to eight weeks apart, to see long-lasting results. Some people may need maintenance treatments once every six to 12 months to treat small, fine hairs that return.
