Permanent Hair Removal, Glasgow | SkinteX Laser Clinic

SkinteX Laser Clinic is a multiple award-winning laser Clinic, based in Partick, Glasgow. As one of Glasgow’s most trusted Clinics, we have recently received an ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’. We offer permanent hair removal using medical-grade IPL devices, not just temporary removal or reduced hair.

Highly scientific and technical, with over 11 years’ industry experience, we are in the best position to state the IPL (designed for permanent hair removal) is still the best and safest device, when used correctly by experienced and trained operators! Do not be misled by reports, websites or videos claiming that there are ‘better devices’ out there!

Why Traditional Hair Removal Methods Fall Short

Shaving, waxing, plucking and electrolysis all come with the same frustrations:

Time-consuming — endless repeat sessions with no lasting results
Disappointing results — hair grows back again and again
Painful — waxing and electrolysis can both cause real discomfort and have temporary blistering
Skin damage — hyperpigmentation is a common risk
Not permanent — above methods might manage hair growth, but doesn’t stop it!
Ingrown hairs — can develop into bumps, spots, boils, cysts and infections

Do you sometimes feel drastic action is necessary?

Our advanced technological approach leads to beautiful smooth skin & provides the ultimate solution in hair removal for both men & women.
Our SkinteX treatments are cost effective, quick, virtually pain-free with our method & best of all permanent, leaving you to get on with your life.

The SkinteX Laser Clinic Difference: Medical-Grade IPL

Not all hair removal technology is equal. Some clinics and beauty rooms use poor devices and clients often find their hair regrows and have countless repeat session. This is totally unnecessary when performed correctly. That’s why SkinteX uses only the highest quality medical-grade IPL available — engineered to prevent regrowth, not just reduce it.

SkinteX treatments are:

Effective — permanent results, not temporary reduction
Quick — fitted around your schedule
Virtually pain-free — with minimal downtime
Safe — leaving skin smooth and undamaged

IPL is regarded as the most effective hair removal method available today. Lack of genetic understanding and poor training leads to unnecessary repeated sessions. SkinteX Laser Clinic have performed complete removal in just 3 sessions! We are fully insured, highly trained and qualified, ensuring your complete satisfaction.

We are happy to advise you on your hair type and best skin treatment to leave you with smooth, hair-free skin.

FAQ’s

How Does It Work?
The hair follicle repeats growth-death cycles called anagen, catagen & telogen. Using quality medical-grade IPL devices (Intense Pulsed Light) at the correct wavelength and sufficient energy or fluence, we target essential treatment areas. Because dark hair contains melanin, the contrast against the paler skin colour means it absorbs the light well and responds appropriately, killing follicles. Surrounding tissue is not targeted and therefore preserved, undamaged. There is more of a ‘technique secret’ to this and shall save this for your Consultation and can explain why so many in the industry get the process wrong!

Can You Treat Peach Fuzz? Yes. Facial peach fuzz is white downy ‘vellus hair’ not ‘terminal hair’. This fuzz can sometimes give an aged look. It is found under the neck, around jawline and cheeks and can easily be removed by our Dermaplane Pro. See our web page or ask for details.

Any Growth Factors To Take Into Account?
Hair grows at different rates over different parts of the body. Add to that, growth and depth varies from individual to individual, male to female and depends upon hormonal disturbance, PCOS and metabolism. Cycles can range from a few weeks to months; for example the duration of the Anagen phase on your eyebrows is around 6 weeks, compared to scalp hair being say 4 years!

Who Can You Treat?
Almost anyone. IPL treatment is safe on all skin types and all body areas for both men & women.

Treatment is NOT suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for clients that are taking photosensitizing drugs such as: Acne medications, Anti-cancer drugs, Antidepressants and Antipsychotic drugs. These medications may cause hyperpigmentation, dermatitis and increase skin sensitivity on areas treated. If in any doubt about your medication, please consult your GP (or Dermatologist) first. Trust and confidence is then established.

Can You Treat Men?

Yes. Easily. Any gender can have Permanent Hair Removal, quickly and safely. Guys are regularly having chest and back treated.

For all body areas….

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
How many, depends upon your sex, which area(s) of the body, etc. Typically 5-7 treatments. YES, only 5-7 treatments, not 10 or 20 sessions as often seen advertised or hear when new Clients come to us – this quantity is simply not necessary! The duration of each session depends on the area being treated and can vary from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. As a multi award-winning Clinic, we do the least treatments, to get best results!

What Is It Like and Will Results Last?
The level is often described as medium sensation, varies between individuals and depending on body area! You will feel a hot tingling sensation with nominal discomfort during operation. With our least pain method, we dramatically help minimize any discomfort. Around 25 – 35% of visible hair will be removed in each session.

Immediately during and after treatment skin will appear red (erythema) but this is only visible for a couple of hours. Hair may look frizzled, but will continue to fall out 1-3 weeks after treatment.

Our hair removal process is permanent, individually tailored for your hair type, volume, thickness, depth, skin type and hair colour, etc. With repeated treatments hair cycles are synchronized, increasing the effectiveness with each consecutive treatment.

Maintenance treatments are not required. Once fully treated, it is gone for good!
