What systems are used at Mapperley Park?

We have been using lasers for depilation since 1995. There are now a huge number of laser and IPL options to choose from (and there are also electrolysis techniques for white and grey hair).

There are many myths about hair removal but there is one single truth - everyone thinks that they are using the best system!

The reality is that each technology has pros and cons; we have introduced the entire range of hair removal options. We can take advantage of the benefits of a particular system but are not constrained by its drawbacks.

Having access to all of the options, we have two, best-in-class lasers, the Cynosure Alexandrite and the Soprano Diode laser. The Alexandrite is often the laser of choice for light skin - especially on the face, whereas the Soprano works best on darker skin types and body areas.

Our Nd:YAG laser is reserved for treating the very darkest skin types and the very deepest hair follicles and we have also introduced a high power IPL system for people who particularly want treatment with an IPL rather than a laser system.

Whichever system that we use, you can be sure that we are not using because it is all we have to offer but because it is what is best for you.
