What is Laser Hair Removal?
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by gently emitting energy through enormously powerful (but safe to use) lasers; the light of the laser then gets absorbed by the pigment of the hair. The light travels down to the base of the hair, converts to heat, and essentially destroys the hair follicle. This simple yet highly effective procedure gets rid of the unwanted hair long term.
There are many motives to why people want to get rid of their face and body hair, from personal preference to medical and hormonal reasons such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or medication and thankfully, advances in technology allow for the safe removal of hair so people can feel comfortable in their body. At Charlie Milz Stowmarket, we do not discriminate, we kindly support you on your journey to feeling confident in your own skin.
Why Do I Need Multiple Laser Hair Removal Sessions?
Can Anyone Have Laser Hair Removal?
It’s a common question on whether you’d be suitable for laser hair removal. The answer is that whilst this treatment is effective on all areas of the body, all body types, and all types of skin, some hair colours see a more effective result than others.
For example, the best candidate for laser hair removal is someone with naturally dark and thick hair. However, thanks to advances in the technology, fair-hair people can also benefit from this treatment. But unfortunately, those with fair and thin hair, such as grey hair or redheads, are not the optimum candidate for this type of treatment due to how light the hair follicle would be. However, speak to our consultant so they can assess you and your hair before progressing.

Laser Hair Removal Equipment
Our laser hair removal equipment is one of the most advanced devices on the market, delivering reliable and cost-effective treatments for hair removal and cosmetic laser procedures. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Cynosure , a global leader in the manufacture of laser systems.
This expertly engineered and highly versatile Elite+ technology offers a comprehensive range of laser treatments thanks to its sophisticated equipment that combines gold standard wavelengths in one system: the 755-nm Alexandrite laser and the 1064-nm nd:YAG laser.
Like everything we do, we ensure our clients get the highest standards in quality and safety and this machine delivers exceptional results and as a grade four medical laser, is used by some of the world’s leading specialists in laser hair removal and cosmetic laser treatments. This isn’t so we can get you to pay more, this is because we put the quality of work and your safety above all else.
Going to a salon that uses a cheaper type of machine will not deliver the same performance as the Cynosure Elite+ laser machine. This means that long-term, you would be paying more as you would require additional sessions to achieve the same results as our laser can offer in less.
