Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroys hair follicles, resulting in long-term hair reduction.
At Clinica Medica, a leading cosmetic clinic located in Glasgow, Scotland, we utilize the state-of-the-art XLase laser platform to deliver highly effective and safe laser hair removal treatment to our patients.
One of the key advantages of the XLase laser platform is its ability to target specific areas of unwanted hair while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. This results in a more precise treatment that reduces the risk of complications and side effects, such as skin irritation or discoloration. Additionally, the XLase laser has a larger spot size than many other laser hair removal systems, which allows our practitioners to cover a larger area of skin in a shorter amount of time.
The XLase laser uses a diode laser, which emits light at a wavelength of 808nm. This wavelength is absorbed well by the melanin in hair, making it an effective choice for treating a wide range of hair colours, including dark and coarse hair. The laser energy is delivered to the hair follicle through a handpiece, which is passed over the treatment area in a smooth, sweeping motion. As the laser energy is absorbed by the hair follicles, it destroys the cells that produce hair, resulting in long-term hair reduction.
The XLase laser is also equipped with a cooling device that helps to protect the skin during treatment. This cooling device sprays a fine mist of chilled water onto the skin, which helps to reduce pain and discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, the XLase laser also has a built-in safety mechanism that prevents overheating, making the treatment even safer.
The number of treatments required for optimal hair reduction will vary depending on the individual, their hair type and the area being treated. Typically, a series of 6-8 treatments is recommended, spaced about 6-8 weeks apart.
At Clinica Medica, our team of highly trained and experienced practitioners are dedicated to delivering safe and effective laser hair removal treatment. By utilizing the advanced XLase laser platform, we can help our patients achieve the smooth, hair-free skin they desire with minimal pain and downtime.
If you are interested in laser hair removal treatment at Clinica Medica, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our practitioners.
