Light is selectively absorbed by melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy heats the pigment and e ectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding cells.
The applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, which targets many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated.
Most people are suitable for treatment. Mayfair MediSpa Lasers are suitable for skin types, all year round.
Best results are often achieved with clients who have fair skin and dark hair. Dark hair is more easily treated as it has a high concentration of melanin. Fair hair, however, contains less melanin and is harder to treat. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Grey/white hair has no melanin, so it is not suitable for treatment.
All of our clients reported that the treatment was comfortable and PAIN-FREE. On sensitive areas of the body sensation varies but could cause light discomfort often described as “an ick of an elastic band”. Typically no anaesthesia is required, and most clients describe the discomfort as light to moderate and tolerable.
The hair follicles are damaged by heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1 – 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to ‘grow’ as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.
Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and bumpy but this usually subsides within a few hours. Unwanted reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
Only hair that is actively growing is affected. Therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatment is conducted every 4 - 8 weeks, depending on the area treated, until a satisfactory result is seen. The required number of treatments varies, but typically 6 sessions will give about 60% or more permanent hair reduction.
A full course of 10 -12 treatments is recommended for optimum results.

COMPETING CYCLIST, RUNNERS, SWIMMERS and ATHLETES: Here at Mayfair MediSpa, we treat many cyclists Athletes preparing for competitions.
RUNNERS reasons for Laser Hair Removal:
Often you see sprinters with hairless bodies! An article in the Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise demonstrated that time savings ranging from 0.01 seconds in the 100 m to 5.7 seconds throughout a marathon could be achieved by removing hair. Seconds count in this sport, even fractions of a second.
CYCLISTS Reasons for Laser Hair Removal :
according to "Bicaclyng.com" "Specialized tested the aerodynamics of a cyclist with shaved legs versus ungroomed ones. In a test with professional triathlete Jesse Thomas, wind tunnel data showed smooth legs "reduced drag by about 7 per cent, allowing Thomas to exert 15 watts less power and still go at the same speed." What does that mean out on the road? That's a savings of 79 seconds over a one-hour, 49-kilometre time trial"
