Laser Treatments

We offer laser hair removal, red vein reduction, skin rejuvenation and acne treatments at our specialy designed clinic; Cheshire Lasers; in Middlewich.

At present all our laser treatments involve Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).

IPL technology is employed in the treatment of medical disorders of the skin including:

sun damage induced pigmentation
acne
rosacea
broken capillaries/telangiectases
vascular and pigmented birth marks

It is also a popular method for hair removal.

The Intense Pulsed Light hair removal process has become very popular due to its cheaper and faster procedure compared to laser hair removal, which is often more costly and time consuming. The comparison of effectiveness between Intense Pulsed Light and Laser Epilation is debated by scientists, equipment manufacturers and practitioners, but results are generally accepted to be roughly equivalent.

Hair removal mechanics: The focused, broad-spectrum light is applied to the surface of the skin by way of either a hand-held wand. The intense light travels through the tissue of the skin until it strikes the hair shafts or the bulb (root) of the hair. The bulb is usually where the highest concentration of melanin is located, as opposed to the rest of the hair shaft. The light is converted to heat energy. The bulb and most of the hair shaft are instantly vaporized. The intense heat radiated by the hair also destroys the hair-producing papilla or the entire hair follicle. It is also claimed that direct light-heat conversion occurs directly in the darker colored capilaries that bring nourishing blood to the follicle.
