Unwanted Hair Removal in Wymondham

Unwanted hair can be down to genetics, hormones or simply the nuisance of constant shaving and waxing, along with the ingrown hairs, rashes and irritation that often come with them.

Annie uses a medical-grade, FDA-approved laser device. The laser light targets the hair root and disables it so the hair struggles to grow back. Laser can only treat hair in its active growth phase, and not every hair is in that phase at the same time, so a course of eight treatments is recommended to catch them all. Most people see a long-term reduction in hair growth, and some need occasional top-ups. The treatment is comfortable and has no downtime.

Every new laser hair removal client has a free consultation with a patch test first, to check your skin and hair are suitable and to set the right settings. You are given full pre and post care instructions to follow. Laser relies on pigment in the hair, so very fair, grey, white or red hair responds poorly or not at all, and Annie will tell you if that applies to you.

For fine, soft facial hair, often called peach fuzz, dermaplaning is a gentle alternative. It uses a sterile blade to remove fine hair and dead skin cells, leaving skin smooth and helping makeup sit better. The result lasts around three weeks, so it suits people who want a regular treatment rather than permanent reduction. It is not suitable for thick or dark facial hair.

Sudden new hair growth, especially on the face, can sometimes be linked to hormonal changes. If that is your situation, it is worth speaking to your GP as well.
