What hair removal systems are used at Mapperley Park?

Electrolysis (short-wave diothermy) was the first method for hair removal using heat-energy and we do still offer an electrolysis service although, in terms of efficacy and speed of treatment, electrolysis has long been overtaken by laser and light based treatments.

We have been using lasers for hair removal (depilation) in Nottingham since 1994. There are now a huge number of laser and IPL options to choose from  (and electrolysis techniques for white and grey hair).

There are many myths aboutlaser  hair removal but there is one single truth - every practitioner 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 excellent lasers, the Cynosure Alexandrite and the Nd:Yag laser. The Alexandrite is the laser of choice for light skin - especially on the face, whereas the Nd:Yag works best on darker skin types.

Our Nd:YAG laser is perfect for treating the very darkest skin types and the very deepest hair follicles and we also have 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.
