Hair removal for Women may not be the most glamorous of grooming issues, but it is fast becoming a familiar routine for most females – and for some men too. A great many women, however, experience more problematic hair growth, which can cause embarrassment, loss of confidence, and self esteem. The Cristianos Laser Clinic has what is believed to be the optimum solution to this perennial problem – the Chromos 694 Ruby Laser, a speedy, safe, effective and long lasting way of removing unwanted facial and body hair.

The Cristianos Laser Clinic was one of only 9 UK clinics which invested in this state of the art laser system back in 1998, the effectiveness of which was been proven in clinical tests world-wide. Despite the plethora of competing permanent hair removal systems now flooding the market, the Chromos 694 remains the only one used by plastic surgeons during reconstructive surgery where the donor site is hirsute.

Clients travel from all over the country to have treatment at Cristianos and the clinic extends an invitation to you to try this innovative treatment for yourself in the discreet and comfortable surroundings of its Altrincham, London, Lancashire, Liverpool and Leeds based clinics. The idea of lasting silky smooth under-arms, bikini line and legs has to be appealing to the majority of women whether they consider their hair growth a real problem or not.

Unwanted Hair: The Facts

For most women, superfluous hair is a minor grooming problem, kept easily in check by razors, creams or waxing, but for others this unwanted hair presents a more serious and frequently embarrassing problem. Almost 15% of women aged between 18 and 45 are troubled by excessive hair growth, a condition known as hirsutism, and facial hair is usually the most distressing symptom for sufferers.

Chris Hart, the driving force behind the Cristianos Laser Clinic, carried out extensive research into the most efficient and effective systems on the market before choosing the Chromos 694 Ruby Laser, developed at the Swansea Institute. Says Chris:

“Unwanted hair can be a source of great embarrassment to many people, but with the latest laser technology, there really is no longer any need to suffer unnecessarily. It is important, though, to choose a professional, responsible clinic and to be fully aware of the facts about laser/IPL treatment. There are number of different systems on the market – not all of them offer the same lasting results or are equally free from side effects”.

Unwanted Hair: The Cristianos Solution

If unwanted hair is the problem, the Cristianos Laser Clinic Ltd will get straight to its root. The Cheshire, Manchester, Lancashire, London, Liverpool and Leeds based clinics specialise in all aspects of safe, effective hair removal, with a focus on the latest state of the art laser techniques.

While the removal of unwanted hair is no more than a routine grooming procedure for many women, a large number, particularly during pregnancy or in middle age, experience a coarser, darker growth, which may require a more concentrated, long-term treatment than straightforward waxing or shaving.

Cristianos is the only private clinic in the UK to introduce the Chromos 694 Ruby Laser and the Energist Ultra VPL, both clinically proven to offer a highly effective means of achieving long term hair removal quickly, painlessly and without damaging the skin.

Women of a Certain Age

Whilst unwanted hair on legs, bikini and underarms is a problem generally accepted by many women as ‘something just to deal with’, particularly during the summer months, facial hair is quite different and can be the cause of extreme embarrassment and distress.

It is a fact that between the ages of 40-50 there is a gradual decline in oestrogen and progesterone levels due to ovarian tissue slowly ceasing to respond to stimulation by the gonadotrophic hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. There is at the same time an increase in levels of androgens (a general term for male hormones) circulating. They can cause hair growth when the hormone balance is disturbed during menopause.

It is estimated that an alarmingly high percentage of women experience a problem with unwanted hair growth during this time in their lives. At Cristianos Laser Clinic we understand how this can affect self-confidence and self-esteem and how difficult that can be to cope with.

You can be assured of an ethical and professional understanding approach to your individual problems and concerns. If you do not initially feel confident about trying laser/VPL then there are highly qualified clinicians who will advise on alternatives to suit your requirement.

Cristianos is able to provide treatment for clients aged 16 and over.

In order to provide treatment for clients aged 16-18 Cristianos was required to apply for specific registration to treat clients aged 16 and above. The Care Quality Commission were duty bound to protect the safety of children and young people and look closely at the policies and processes Cristianos had in place to ensure that young people are provided with treatment in a supportive and protective environment. Where a young person is considering treatment at Cristianos they must be referred by their GP and be accompanied by an adult.

Treatment for males

In the presiding western culture, the image of the masculine hairy chest is no longer considered desirable and the hair free body is portrayed as the ideal. Testosterone is an extremely powerful hormone and is responsible for secondary sexual characteristics such as hair growth. The continued presence of testosterone means that although it is possible to remove large areas of hair growth complete removal is unrealistic. The treatment should be regarded as hair reduction and may require on going treatment.

Good grooming is becoming increasingly important to men. Excess body hair and poor skin conditions are a common problem and can now be addressed with the revolutionary Energist Ultra VPL ™ and the Chromos 694 Ruby Laser. Problem areas such as back, chest, shoulders, ear, nose and neck can now be addressed for hair removal and fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring or just improving ones skin conditions can now be achieved.

The needs for each individual are different and for that reason we can invite prospective clients to book a consultation in order to assess any problems you may have worries about and for us to give an honest appraisal of the optimum treatment requirements. This consultation is entirely free and without obligation, we also include a test patch so you can experience the results before you decide whether or not to have treatment.

You can be assured of an ethical and professional understanding approach to your individual problems and concerns. If you do not initially feel confident about trying laser/VPL then there are highly qualified clinicians who will advise on alternatives to suit your requirement.

This is the ninth, consecutive annual evaluation of responses to our treatment questionnaires. People make comments freely and we do encourage them to tell us how they believe we can improve our service as well as the benefits they have gained from receiving it.

Once again, we have been encouraged by the consistently high numbers of our clients that have endorsed our work and declared that we have maintained the high standards of service we set and that the results they have experienced have been successful. It is with a sense of satisfaction that we record that we have received unanimous positive feedback of our work; 100% of respondents considered the level of service they received as good; 98% said very good or excellent and 88% simply recorded excellent.

To achieve and maintain those high satisfaction levels is testimony to the commitment of everyone at Cristianos. We take seriously the feedback we receive; it is reassuring that it is all so positive. When we further scrutinise the feedback, it is even more reassuring because we appear to offer sound advice, with 100% satisfaction on the timely & appropriate nature of that advice and attention given to personal requests and preferences.

We know how important it is for every client to receive attention to their personal needs; every respondent recorded total satisfaction that they were treated with courtesy, consideration, respect and dignity with attention given to their privacy and confidentiality.

We enjoy our reputation for making clients feel so welcome; we pride ourselves on our response to the requests and needs of clients. But it would not matter if we did not deliver what they ultimately need, hair removal! So we are equally pleased that the survey also records such high levels of satisfaction with the results we achieve. Over 96% of our clients are satisfied with the results we have achieved together and 100% of respondents unanimously would recommend Cristianos to others or have already done so!

And they feel better with 89% declaring improved self-esteem, 96% improved confidence and 100% have improved their appearance. Now that does wonders for me and everyone at Cristianos says Chris Hart.

It is widely taken as public knowledge that individuals transition from one gender to another however it is believed that the vast majority of the general public see this as a transition from male to female, never generally considering that trans issues affect individuals who wish to move from female to male. For the majority of f2m individuals this is a positive for the majority of the time as it means transmen can conduct their day to day lives without their trans status being an issue. However this lack of public and professional knowledge can sometimes lead to difficulties in finding essential treatment without having to enter into long explanations.

The problem of hair removal both pre and post operatively for men undergoing phalloplasty is one such case. The need for hair removal is twofold firstly from the surgical point of view if the hair is not removed prior to surgery the hair can cause post operative infections and complications, which can result in the need to revisit the theatre. Secondly, on a purely practical level who has the time or inclination to shave on a daily basis? Hair removal generally falls under the auspices of the beauty salon and wanting a chest or back wax wouldn’t be considered out of the ordinary. However how many therapists would be familiar with the processes involved with phalloplasty, let alone the how and the where?

Fortunately at Cristianos no explanations are necessary. Cristianos Laser Clinic Ltd have a wealth of experience in treating trans men and women and have been commissioned by several PCT’s to provide treatment for hair removal of this nature funded by the NHS. We have been able to work closely with Mr Ralph’s team to perfect the process for clients both pre and post phalloplasty. Coming to Cristianos means that you can have the confidence that we are working together with the Healthcare Professionals caring for your needs. This collaboration between professionals means that we not only have an understanding of the stages of treatment and work we are required to perform but also that the client can be comfortable in the knowledge that no complicated explanations are necessary. Collaboration between professional’s leads to quality assured treatment and care.

Funding

NHS Funding is available for guys who need to have hair removed from the donor skin tissue in preparation for phalloplasty. If the tissue is not cleared of hair prior to surgery hair balls may form in the new urethra and cause infection post surgery, which can result in the need for further visits to theatre. Funding is available through the Exceptional Cases Criteria and is accessible on an individual basis. Cristianos Laser Clinic Ltd. is a name well known for its exceptional commitment to the Trans community and having worked closely with Mr Ralph and Mr Christopher’s team Cristianos expertise in the preparation of donor site tissue prior to phalloplasty is unrivaled. In recognition of the specialist nature of this work Cristianos can, in many cases apply directly for funding on the clients behalf.  However it must be stressed that hair removal must be planned well ahead.

Remember it is your right to choose what kind of hair removal you have and to whom you trust your treatment and care regardless of which GIC you may be attending. You can self refer to Cristianos by email info@cristianos.co.uk or freephone 0800 0850661

The problem of unwanted hair is a shared problem for many women diagnosed with PCOS and whilst other problems may raise their heads from time to time, often dealing with unwanted hair is a daily task. Our lives are active and finding the time to investigate the most appropriate method of hair removal isn’t always easy. Chris Hart MD of Cristianos Laser Clinic has put together this quick guide to suitability for laser/IPL hair removal treatment.

Hair Colour

Hair removal with light based technology for example Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is ultimately dependent on the hair containing dark pigment. This is because the light is absorbed in melanin, the pigment in hair and skin. The light is then converted into heat within the hair shaft and subsequently heats the follicle destroying its capacity to regrow. For this process to be effective there must be enough dark pigment in the hair. White, blonde and grey hair does not contain sufficient pigment for the treatment to be effective. The darker the pigment the more efficient the process is.

Skin Colour

When laser hair removal first came to the attention of the public, some ten years ago the technology was only suited to the treatment of Caucasian skins. However demand for a solution to unwanted hair for darker skinned individuals led to further research and development resulting in the evolution of Intense Pulse Light technology (IPL).

IPL/VPL systems deliver therapeutic light in shorter packs of energy, interceded by cooling periods, thus making the treatment of darker skin tones attainable. Not withstanding this, the treatments of Afro-Caribbean skins can prove difficult and may run a high risk of side effects.

Hair Diameter

As discussed earlier the therapeutic light is selectively absorbed in the colour in the hair, a process known as ‘Selective Photothermolysis’. Where the hair is thick and coarse more light will be absorbed and the thick hair will have more capacity to hold in the heat. Consequently the treatment of thick coarse hair is more efficient than that of fine hair, as this vellus hair is less proficient at absorbing light and holding in heat.

Medication

Some medications can make the skin photosensitive to light. Photosensitivity can range from mild redness, discomfort and itchiness to blistering of the skin.  In cases where medications cause photosensitivity the first thing to consider is whether those medications are being taken on a short or long term basis. In the case of short term photosensitising drugs, for example some antibiotics, treatment should be delayed until a minimum of seven days have elapsed since the last dose. Where medication is being taken on a long term footing for example some anti depressants, the probability and severity of having a photosensitive reaction must be weighed against the need for treatment for the individual concerned.

Pregnancy

There is no medical evidence to support the idea that having treatment of this nature during pregnancy can be detrimental to either mother or child, however most responsible practitioners would advise a client to postpone treatment until after the birth.

Compliance

Any method of hair removal relies up on the hair growth cycle as the germinal matrix of the follicle can only be affected by treatment when in the ‘Anagen’ or growing phase of the cycle.  Treatment schedules need to take this process into account, accordingly the timing of appointments is crucial to success of treatment.

This is a small, enclosed pit located under the skin. It’s most commonly found in the cleft between the buttocks and is caused by an ingrowing hair that penetrates the skin.

Most people are unaware they have a Pilonidal Sinus until it causes them trouble. Infection is the most likely problem to have occurred if the area becomes uncomfortable and sore.

Causes and risk factors

Men develop them more often than women, especially those men with a large amount of body hair (especially around the buttocks). They’re more common in younger adults, too, as well as those whose jobs require them to sit down for long periods , it is also said that there is also often a family history of the condition.

Quite why it happens isn’t entirely clear. When they occur in the cleft between the buttocks, one popular explanation is that there’s a developmental defect in the direction that the hair grows – that is, the hair grows inwards rather than outwards.

Funding for treatment is available on the NHS; at Cristianos we can provide an assessment of your suitablilty for hair removal and forward a report to your G.P. free of charge.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

To many people unwanted hair growth may seem like a cosmetic issue however there are many medical causes for unwanted hair for example Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in which women can suffer from male pattern hair growth, Pilonidal sinuses where ingrowing hairs cause problems at the base of the spine and Spina Bifida Occulta.  Medications for example Tamoxifen used in the treatment of breast cancer and some anti rejection medications can result in unwanted hair growth.

Removal of hair can also be necessary for donor site tissue in reconstructive surgery.

Nickki’s Words

“Hello All, My name is Nickki, and I am a 26-year-old female. Since the age of 14 I have suffered from a condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) for short. PCOS is a condition that around 20% of the female population suffer from, however the symptoms differ from woman to woman, in some woman in goes unnoticed and without causing any problems, unfortunately in my case this was not the case. When I was first diagnosed, the effects were not that bad, I had irregular periods but nothing really major. It was when I turned 17 that all the problems began, and when I say problems, my biggest problem was one that caused me to lose all self-esteem, and all my confidence. It was excess facial hair; it came at a time when I should have been enjoying my teens, and going out and having fun. At first it was a few stray hairs here and there, probably nobody even noticed at that stage but I did, and it was horrible. But I would love to go back to that stage now knowing what I know today.

When the first hairs started appearing my GP put me on Dianette, which was supposed to be effective at reducing the hair growth, it never made any difference to me at all. Over the years the problem began to get steadily worse, when I got married at the age of 21, I had male pattern facial hair growth, as I have dark hair and fair skin it was a lot worse for me. I had to get up every morning before my husband and go into the bathroom to perform my secret ritual, which entailed shaving my face with a razor and shaving foam, before applying make-up, then I would sneak back to bed and pretend I had just woken up so that he would see me looking “normal”.

“When I was 24 the problem was getting worse rather than better, none of the drugs that I was on were making any difference, the hair was increasing rather than reducing, and my confidence hit an all time low. I was convinced I was not a woman, after all woman don’t have to shave each day, women don’t have 5 o clock shadow, women should be worrying what colour lipstick to wear not worrying whether their faces were stubble free. I felt I was not a woman, but knew I was not a man, so what was I? These were questions that ate away at me, the more I looked in the mirror, and the more I hated myself. I convinced myself I was a freak, what was I, I didn’t look female, I wasn’t pretty and dainty, more masculine and hairy. My confidence and self respect had never been lower, I didn’t want to go out, didn’t want to meet people, most days I didn’t even want to get out of bed, I shut myself away from everyone. I didn’t bother getting dressed after all what was the point, what did it matter if I wore nice clothes, all people would see is this thing dressed up in women’s clothes”.

I had been seeing all sorts of specialists and consultants from hospitals all across the North West and nobody was doing anything to help me. I felt I wasn’t worth bothering about, so one day I sat down and swallowed a load of sleeping pills and a cocktail of other pills. I cried as I forced each pill down my throat, I wanted to live, I didn’t really want to die, but I couldn’t live with looking in the mirror each day and hating what I saw looking back. The one thing though, is that I was not making a cry for help, I had done that in the past only nobody listened, yes my family did but they couldn’t help, it was me who had to live in my body each day, and that was what I wanted to end. To cut a long story short I ended up on a ventilator in intensive care, with discussions going on between doctors whether I would eventually need a liver transplant.

After being treated for 3 weeks I was discharged and assigned a psychiatrist. I had to see him twice a week, we sat, we talked, he diagnosed me as being clinically depressed, not once did he listen when I told him how I felt, his response was take this medication, you’ll get better. They were treating my emotional symptoms when all my emotional problems were caused by my physical ones, yet they did not think that relevant, it was simply a case of “takes your pills.” I had a CPN who came out to see me every day, she wanted me to go out, said we would work on confidence building, again the cause was ignored, nobody listened when I said I cant go out, I was told I was paranoid, and prescribed more tablets. This situation went on for about a year, and all this time I was getting worse and worse physically, I had gone from having to get up early to shave once a day for about 10 minutes, to shaving 3 times a day for about 30 minutes each time. My skin was permanently sore, red, and itchy. I had red blotches from constant shaving and no amount of make-up would conceal the beard rash, even after all that I still had dark shadows shining through my layers of make-up.

My day had to be planned with military precision. I had to get up at the crack of dawn to use the bathroom before my husband. Even though it was obvious to everyone what I was doing, why I spent so much time in the bathroom, I never discussed it with anyone including my husband, I was always “brushing my teeth” or “washing my hair” several times a day. I was always withdrawn, and had seen myself go from a bubbly confident person into a nervous wreck, who hated seeing people. I remember once, my cousin asking myself and my husband to go on a caravaning holiday with them, everyone was planning the route, places to visit, and I was thinking where the nearest bathrooms would be, where could I go to perform my “rituals”. It took over my life, being late was never an option, if I had an appointment in the morning and I overslept then I had to cancel as I could never leave the house in my natural state. In short I had no life. I had bought so many home hair removal kits that my bathroom was a beauticians dream, none worked, and all were expensive! I tried waxing, plucking you name it I tried it, yet I had gone beyond everything, I had a full beard and nothing would remove it; my husband had a goatee beard yet mine was worse than his.

I remember one day when I had spent hours in the bathroom, and thought I looked relatively normal, enough to go to the local shops with my husband. We were in a supermarket when a group of children walked past staring and pointing whispering to each other “is that a man or a woman” they walked up and down the aisles each time managing to walk past us to get a further look. I had to get out; I left my husband in the shop and ran home. I locked myself in the bathroom and cried my heart out, I grabbed loads of pills and swallowed them, and grabbed the razors and sliced across both my wrists, I didn’t feel the pain, and I just wanted it to be over.

Again I was found and hospitalised, this time in a psychiatric ward, when asked why, I told the truth, and was told I was anxious and suffering this time from something called chronic reactive adjustment disorder, I screamed until I was blue in the face that I was not mentally ill, but I hated myself because of my appearance, again I was dismissed, I was still prescribed tablets; still seeing the CPN, still had a label of mental illness. I was looking through the Internet one day when I came across ”Cristianos Laser Clinic”, it sounded too good to be true, and after all who could do anything for me? It took me days to get the courage to telephone, and when I finally did it was Chris Hart who answered the phone, that call literally saved my life and I’m not saying that for any publicity reasons, Chris was wonderful, she talked to for over an hour explaining how the process worked, she told me I was a perfect candidate as I had dark hair and fair skin, which was the best combination.

We arranged for me to go over to the clinic in Altrincham to have a test patch done. The next week I made the journey with my husband. I did not know what to expect, to be honest I expected a very posh impersonal private clinic, attended by beautiful immaculate ladies in white coats. However when I arrived what I found was a lovely friendly clinic, with down to earth people, nobody was insulting about my appearance, nobody said I was a freak, everyone was lovely, I was made to feel so welcome. The lady that performed the test patch explained everything to me in detail, she wrote down my medical details and answered any questions that I had and I had plenty, would it hurt, would it work, how long would it take, after answering all my questions, I was taken through to another room where I was asked to lie on a bed, similar to the ones in a doctors surgery, blue glasses were put on my eyes to protect them from the laser, and then a test patch was performed just under my chin, did it hurt? No not painful, more like a sting that lasted less than a second, it was uncomfortable but not painful. The main thing I can remember was the smell, it smelt like burnt toast, that I was told was the smell of the laser absorbing the hair.

The test patch lasted little more than a minute, and when it was over I looked in the mirror and saw a little red patch but no hair. Prior to the test patch I removed a little bit of my make-up, just enough for the patch to be done. When I left the clinic, I had made an appointment to have my full-face treated, and was going to return in about 2 weeks, I was told that it would be red for a few days, then after about 10 days there would be no hair there, then it would come back, and I would have treatment once a month to catch each stage of the hair cycle.

When I arrived home, Chris telephoned me, and explained that she had been called away and was unable to meet me that day, but she would be doing the treatment for me, we had a long chat and I put the phone down feeling a glimmer of hope for the future, although in all honesty I cant say I was expecting as much as I have. When I returned to Cristianos, I met Chris herself, she was wonderful, so genuine, so friendly and so down to earth, she asked me to take off my whole make up, which I was terrified of doing as nobody had ever seen me without make-up and with hair. The best thing about the treatment is that on the morning of treatment I could still shave, as I only had to leave a little bit of hair visible, if I had to go there with a full face of hair it would have been doubtful that I would have made it, in fact I know I wouldn’t have. After removing my make-up, Chris asked me to lift my chin and let her have a proper look, again something I have never allowed anyone top do, but I knew instantly I could trust Chris, she wouldn’t laugh, she wouldn’t mock. She was very positive, telling me that it was perfect, and she seemed genuinely pleased at my hair, I found this strange as everyone else recoiled in disgust yet here was someone who was overjoyed at it. Chris explained that it was because I had dark hair and it was coarse which was perfect. I had ice packs applied to my face, and laid back with sun goggles on, and my first full face treatment began. The laser turned on, the best way to describe the feeling is to have an elastic band snapped on the skin, discomfort for a second then nothing, uncomfortable but not painful. My sideburns were not uncomfortable, neither was under my chin or cheeks, the bit that was more uncomfortable was my upper lip, Chris explained all this before she done it so I was expecting slighter more discomfort.

Throughout my treatment I was talking and laughing with Chris who was telling me tales of her recent holiday, we were talking like old friends, but then again that is what you get when you go to Cristianos, you go as a stranger, you leave as a friend. When my treatment was completed after about 45 minutes Chris applied some soothing gel, and I put my make-up back on, there was no discomfort but my face was red, but with make-up was not as noticeable. The next day I shaved as normal, and for about 7 days after, until on about the tenth day there was hardly anything there, I scrutinised my face under mirrors, in different lights yet still nothing, I couldn’t believe it, what a difference not to have to shave, the change was remarkable. Towards the end of week 3 the hair had grown back in places as Chris had explained, but instead of having hair all over my face, I now had little bald patches, after all this time I had hope. When I went back for my next appointment Chris looked at the little patches, and cuddled me and we celebrated the little bare areas of skin.

After my second treatment more and more hair fell away and the bald patches got bigger, it was amazing, I was getting better, I still removed the hair that was still in the growing stage but now it was taking me 10 minutes once a day rather than 30 minutes 3 times a day. I have now had 3 treatments and am due to go for my 4th next week and the change is unbelievable, instead of having little bald patches, I now have little patches of hair, my cheeks are all but clear, my dark moustache has practically disappeared, and my confidence is growing by the day. Yes I still have some hair but I am still having treatment and am confident I will have my life back. Each day sees less and less hair appearing, the shadow under my makeup is all but gone, and I find myself wishing for each month to end so that I can have my next course, I have grown to love the “burnt toast smell” as that means more and more hair is being zapped and that I am becoming less hairier.

Without Chris Hart and Cristianos I doubt very much that I would still be here, I hated myself, I hated my life and I hated what I had become, yet thanks to Chris in 3 months I am now on my way back, my confidence is growing with each treatment, my self- esteem is growing each day, and I honestly thought I was a hopeless case. My doctors didn’t listen, the counselor didn’t listen, Chris Hart did and thanks to her, her husband Dave, and Sue the receptionist I now know that one day my biggest problem will be deciding what lipstick to wear!

Kind Regards Nickki Brown
