1. The Alexandrite Laser is ideal for skin types that sit between 1-3 on the Fitzpatrick scale, meaning white, beige and slightly tan. This is the stronger laser of the two, with higher absorption of melanin that means it can target very fine hair.
2. The Nd YAG Laser can be used on all skin types from 1 through 6 as it is less sensitive to melanin in the skin, meaning it is ideal for darker skin tones.
As with everything we do at 111 Harley St., we customise all Laser Hair Removal treatments depending on the patient. Following a thorough consultation and patch test, a course will be prescribed and guidelines for homecare (such as not to pluck, wax or tweeze) will be communicated.
This differs depending on the area treated due to the different cycles of hair and their varying thicknesses.
Face – Every 4 weeks
Body – Every 6-8 Weeks
After the treatment, there is minimal redness and irritation which should entirely disappear in 24 hours. SPF should be applied as usual but all patients can resume daily activities, save intensive sport.
Please note, all consultations are subject to the applicable consultation change or deposit.
