Why choose hair removal treatment
Bank Medispa operates according to CQC and GMC guidelines; therefore, we have a duty of care to all our patients and use only medical-grade devices for your safety and the efficacy of treatment. Our practitioners are all highly trained and regularly update their knowledge with further education.
Our laser devices are manufactured by one of the world‘s leaders in laser device technology. Lynton Lasers is one of the world’s most respected medical-grade laser manufacturers and has won numerous awards over the years for their British-manufactured equipment.
At Bank MediSpa in Hale, Cheshire, we champion the use of the LUMINA® medical-grade laser hair removal device by Lynton Lasers, the UK’s number one laser and IPL manufacturer. This pain-free solution uses pulses of laser light to damage the hair follicle for hair-free skin.
Specifically chosen wavelengths of laser light are pulsed into the skin, reaching the hair root and absorbed by the melanin within the root. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles and permanently inhibits or delays future unwanted hair growth.

A short burst of light is fired at the skin’s surface. Light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft, where it heats and destroys the hair. If the hair is in the growth stage (anagen), the heat is transmitted down the hair shaft to the base of the follicle and to the germ cells lining the follicle shaft, causing their destruction. Hair caught in the growth stage will not grow again. Other follicles, which are not actively growing may produce new hair. These follicles will need to be targeted in the growth stage to affect follicle damage and reduce future hair growth, therefore, a course of treatment is required.
Everyone is different, and it is just not possible to be accurate. Somewhere between 6 and 8 IPL hair removal treatments are usually required. The exact number will vary depending on where the hair is, what has been done to the hair in the past, skin type, and, of course, your individual response.
Our laser hair removal service is suitable for the underarm, bikini area, legs, back & shoulders, chest & abdomen, lip and chin.
IPL depilation works best on dark hair because dark hair contains more pigment to absorb light. However, IPL hair removal can work on lighter hair too but will not respond on white, grey and very blonde hair. We always carry out a patch test beforehand.
Yes, actively growing hair follicles will be destroyed. However, as with all depilation methods, only actively growing follicles are affected, so dormant or ‘resting’ hair follicles may start to produce hair at a later time. This ‘new growth’ (not re-growth) would need to be treated in the same manner.
The advanced laser technology in this hair removal treatment is virtually pain-free, with most people experiencing no more than a slight tingling sensation. Some people describe IPL hair removal as a flick of an elastic band. In this case, more attention is paid to cooling the skin before, during and after treatment to minimise skin reactions and discomfort.
