The Ailesbury Clinic uses the world's most advanced Lumenis Quantum IPL to remove unwanted hair. The Syneron Aurora Laser RadioFrequency SystemAurora laser is also used as it is the only system to have an FDA approval to achieve successful removal of white and gray hair using its combined electrical and optical energy.

The FDA has officially cleared the Aurora technology to claim that it achieves permanent hair reduction. Recent advances make it the safest hair removal system available which can be used on all skin types and colours. The Ailesbury Clinic has recently introduced the Lumenis Quantum IPL laser specifically for removal of black hair in persons with white skin.
A laser clinican will usually decide which is the most appropiate laser to use in each case, but usually the Quantum is used for dark hair and hte Aurora for most blonde hair. Some thicker post menopausal hair may require addition of melanin additives or the use of Vaniqa cream before it is effective.
Tell me about unwanted hair?
Unwanted hair is a problem shared by
both men and women. In many cases the condition runs
in families. Race can also be a factor - whites are more
prone to having excess facial hair than are Asians and
blacks.
Some people experience unwanted or
excess hair from the time they reach puberty; others
find it to be a condition that gets worse with age. Some
women experience additional hair growth during pregnancy
or menopause. Women who experience sudden hair growth
should consult with their physicians, as this may be
a sign of other medical conditions.
Hair does not come in any one
size or type. Follicles in different parts of the body
produce differing types of hair. Hair can grow in thick,
bushy patches or in long thin strands. In addition,
hair is produced in follicles that can be found at
different depths and densities - as close to the skin's
surface as a millimeter or as deep as five millimeters
or more.
Until recently, this great variety
in hair types and body locations made long-lasting
hair removal a significant challenge
