LASER HAIR REMOVAL
At The Nimmo Clinic in Cobham, our state-of-the-art Quanta Duetto system uses the latest advances in laser technology to deliver quick, effective and virtually pain free treatment.
Unlike the majority of other systems which can deliver either one of the two laser wavelengths at any given time, our Quanta Duetto can use both simultaneously, making it suitable for all skin and hair types and particularly effective on stubborn or fine hair which other systems may struggle with a minimum of six sessions are required for optimal results. We also recommend a top-up session every three to four months to maintain outcome.
HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
Our advanced laser technology in our Surrey clinic, will target your hairs in their 3 growth stages – anagen, catagen and telogen. The anagen phase are when hairs are at their optimum stage for the laser system to be at its most effective due to the hairs still being attached to the blood supply and being at their most vulnerable. The pigment within the hair follicle absorbs the lasers heat which then effectively heats up the follicle causing the termination of the blood supply and follicle cells. This in-turn destroys further hair growth from occurring.
At Dr. Martin Nimmo Skin and Aesthetics, we treat virtually every area of the body. Some delicate areas such as the inner ear, inside the nostrils and over the nipple are not suitable for treatment however.
Am I suitable for Laser Hair Removal?
All skin types are suitable for Laser Hair Removal at The Nimmo Clinic in Cobham, with our system’s advanced technology. However, the hairs need to contain some pigment in order for them to be treated effectively. During your consultation we can determine whether your hairs are suitable for laser hair removal.
