Diminish - Skin rejuvenation and permanent hair reduction

skin rejuvenation and permanent hair reduction

3.		With hair removal, how many treatments will I require and how soon will I see results? Hair growth goes through four stages and the process will only affect those hair follicles which are going through their active growth stage at the time of treatment. At any one time, this usually means between 30%-50% of your hair may be targeted, but this depends on the specific areas being treated. An effect should be seen after just one or two treatments, however for a more complete result a course of between 3 and 6 treatments is usually sufficient. Hair will progressively become thinner, lighter or simply fail to regrow.

4.		With skin rejuvenation, how many treatments will I require and how soon will I see results? The number of treatments required for skin conditions varies depending on the type of condition, and in some instances, effects may be evident after just one treatment. The effects may continue to improve for up to 3 weeks after treatment. With the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, it may take longer to see results due to the gradual natural stimulation of collagen. A full and complete assessment will be made on consultation.

5.		What are the potential side effects of treatment? Intense Pulse Light systems have been used for treatment of hair and skin conditions for almost 10 years and Diminish employ registered qualified medical professionals with extensive treatment experience. Potential side effects may include redness or swelling of skin, which should disappear soon afterwards. In extreme cases blistering may occur which should heal after a few days, and a few rare instances a temporary decrease or increase in skin colour may be evident. The IPL system used has been approved by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) and Diminish is registered with the National Care Standards Commission to ensure strict quality and levels of patient care and comfort are adhered to. Your medical professional will work with you to ensure a suitable treatment is used which will maximise the required effects and minimise any side effects.
