Unwanted hair?

We all have some kind of unwanted hair. But what to do about it?

Which treatment is best for what type of hair?

There are mainly 2 types of hair growth.

1.      Hairs that have a job to do:

Hair that controls our body temperature, (fine hair on our legs, arms etc), hair that cushions our body and captures sweat and perspiration (eye brows and pubic hair)

2.      Hormonally grown hair:

Hair that can appear due to hormone changes in the body, (chin, neck, upper lip, nipples and chest etc)

How best to treat them?

The Apilus Platinum Electrolysis Technique

100% Permanent hair removal never looked better!

Here at the Salon we have been impressed by the Apilus epilator for 20 years. Just when you thought technology couldn’t get any better along came the Apilus Platinum. It is a world exclusive design using synchro-computerized technology. It is so quick and so concentrated that treatments are barely perceptible. Just a few thousandths of a second suffice to treat each hair. And with its Pica Flash mode, the Apilus Platinum is the ideal solution for comfortable permanent hair removal, whether on the face or any other area of the body. ‘Was that it!’ and ‘I can’t believe I’ve just had electrolysis!’ are just a couple of comments from clients who have already experienced the epilator.

For those ladies who feel that having Laser is the only way of treating larger areas, such as under arm and bikini areas, as they want the hairs treating as quickly as possible and don’t want to go through the discomfort of the old methods of electrolysis, this technology will make you think again. Laser has many contra indications and requires a strong contrast between the skin colour(light) and the hair colour (dark). Electrolysis on the other hand can treat any hair colour, dark or light and directly targets the hair follicle from the inside leading to a complete destruction of the cells responsible for hair growth while protecting the skin surface. Electrolysis still remains the only 100% effective method of permanent hair removal for all skin and hair types. The Apilus is undeniably the most advanced epilation technique available today to permanently remove unwanted hair. The system is designed for the client:- painless, reduces reddening of the skin, assures excellent results.

Larger areas such as the legs and arms are best treated with waxing or Laser.

Laser

Is effective for treating large areas and you will see a great reduction in hair growth, however there are quite a few contra indications to the treatment and the success of the treatment relies on the contrast of the hair and skin colour as mentioned above.

Waxing

Is also great for large areas (legs, arms, back and chest) and can reduce this type of hair growth over a period of time. However, it can make hormonally grown hair, grow back stronger. This is because waxing is like mass plucking. The hair is plucked and blood rushes to the area along with hormones which are carried in the blood. The hormones then feed the hair, encouraging a stronger hair growth.

To work alongside waxing to aid in the reduction of hair growth we use the Katherine Daniels Post Depilation Concentrate.

The Post Depilation Concentrate is an after wax hair growth inhibitor. The salon strength after wax treatment works to inhibit hair re-growth, reduce the quantity and quality of your hair, help reduce the problem of in-growing hairs and make waxing less painful. 

Efficiency tests: Pilosity reduced by 35% after 28 days.
