As Christmas is fast approaching, many people will be putting together their lists for Santa, and that could include a home laser hair removal kit.
These appliances are causing concern to professionals who believe that DIY appliances are neither as effective nor as safe as professional clinic treatments.
Laserase Bolton, a leading skin care and medical laser specialist in the North West, is urging consumers to consider buying clinic treatments as a gift rather than a DIY appliance that could cause them permanent damage if not used correctly.
Dr. Kiran Patel, Medical Director at Laserase Bolton, has been a qualified laser practitioner since 1994. He said:
“Home appliances may be a cheaper option for most, but if used incorrectly then the damage caused can be irreparable and cost you a lot more in the long run.”
Using appliances to remove eyebrow hair, for example, can cause serious damage to your eyes and despite the lasers not being as powerful as ones used in clinics, there’s a higher risk of users burning their skin. Not only this, but the lasers used in home devices are a lot less effective than professional ones, and therefore hair removal is less permanent.
Dr Patel added: “If you attend a clinic, you will get a consultation from a fully qualified and licensed practitioner who will be able to answer any questions you may have about the treatment.
“There is also a much reduced risk of any damage from the treatment, and after the recommended amount of sessions, hair removal is more efficient.”
Laserase Bolton is currently offering deals on many treatments over November and December in the lead up to Christmas, with laser hair removal at just £20 a session for the first three sessions.
