Q & A

---

A: If you are having treatment for purely cosmetic or beauty reasons, your appointment must remain on hold until the lockdown is lifted and other 'personal care services' are re-opened. 

A: Keeping your Laser Hair Removal course up to date and in line with regular sessions, 4 -8 weeks apart, is recommended for the smooth running of your course and achieving a hair-free goal swiftly. With our state of art Medical lasers, every session will give you PERMANENT hair reduction ( minimum 10%), which is not reversible once you stop treatments. Tree months gap will not affect your results but will only delay the time needed to complete your hair-free goal. 

A: Once we have killed a hair follicle in the active growth, it is dead and will never come back. Four weeks is the earliest we can treat again between laser sessions, and we have to wait for the hair to do a full growth cycle and be in the active growth phase again. Leaving longer gaps between appointments, such as during lockdown periods, will not have any adverse effects on your treatment. 

All of the hairs previously killed from the laser will remain dead and can not come back to life. After four weeks, you may notice there is slightly more hair than what you are used to between appointments; this is due to multiple hair cycles being active at one time. These are not new hairs. We will pick up right where we left off when we can continue treatments.

A: We recognize that some treatments we provide are seen as very important for self-esteem, confidence, and psychological well-being. For those who are anxious about interruptions to their treatment plan and not in a position to reschedule for after the lockdown, we will be available to offer limited appointments, subject to assessment, and for those who have an urgent need for treatment and care. 

A: If you feel that rescheduling (canceling) your appointment causing you stress and anxiety, or if you suffer from excess hair growth that causes you a lack of confidence, depression, or any other psychological impacts, please get in touch with us. We will do our best to assess your situation and, if approved by our Doctor / Medical Director, accommodate you in consideration of your psychological well-being. 

A: if you suffer from any following medical conditions that cause excessive hair growth like :

• Folliculitis, 
• Hormonal Unbalance, 
• Cushing’s Syndrome ( it can be developed when the body is exposed to the high levels of the hormone cortisol), 
• POS Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, 
• Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, 
• Hirsutism ( excessive body hair in man or woman on parts of the body where the hair is typically absent or minimal) 

Or if you have been referred or advised by your GP, please get back in touch with us or write directly to dr.horn@mayfairmedispa.co.uk, and we will do our best to avoid minimal interruptions to your course of treatments.
