If you are planning to book laser hair removal in Cork ahead of summer, it helps to understand how the process actually works before you start. Mediglow’s laser hair removal service is built around the Cynosure Elite+ system, and carries more than 319 five star Google reviews, the strongest review volume of any treatment at the clinic.
Why a Single Session Is Never Enough
Hair grows in cycles, and lasers can only treat hair that is in an active growth phase at the time of your session. This is true regardless of which clinic or technology is used.
Because of this, laser hair removal is always delivered as a course of sessions rather than a single treatment, so hair is caught as it moves through its growth cycle over time.
How the Cynosure Elite+ System Works
Mediglow uses the Cynosure Elite+ laser system across all three of its laser hair removal services: the main clinic, and the dedicated women’s and men’s treatments.
The system targets pigment in the hair follicle, and is suited to a range of skin tones and hair types.
How Many Sessions You Will Need
The exact number of sessions needed depends on your hair type, skin type and the area being treated. This is assessed and confirmed during your consultation, rather than a fixed number that applies to everyone.
Because hair growth cycles vary from person to person, a consultation is the only reliable way to get a realistic session plan.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser hair removal is designed to significantly reduce hair growth over a course of sessions, though results and how long they last vary from person to person.
This is one of the most common questions asked before booking, and is worth discussing directly during your consultation.
Areas Treated at Mediglow
Laser hair removal at Mediglow covers a full range of areas across the main clinic, with dedicated pages for women’s and men’s treatment covering areas and concerns specific to each.
Mediglow’s laser hair removal for women service covers areas including the upper lip, chin, bikini line, legs, underarms and full body, and also addresses hormonal hair growth as a specific concern.
Laser vs Waxing: Why More People Are Switching
Mediglow’s own comparison of laser hair removal against waxing and shaving highlights long-term reduction, less irritation and fewer ingrown hairs, time and cost savings, and smoother skin as the main reasons clients switch.
This comparison is covered in more detail on the women’s laser hair removal page, and reflects the broader case for choosing laser over temporary hair removal methods.
What Affects the Cost of Laser Hair Removal
A few factors affect what a course of laser hair removal costs, including:
- The size and number of areas being treated
- How many sessions your hair type and skin type require
- Whether you choose a single area or a combined treatment plan
Mediglow’s laser hair removal plans include a consultation, so you know exactly what is involved before committing to a course.
