Spina Bifida Occulta

Some forms of Spina Bifida (SB) for example Spina Bifida Occulta can result in a patch of hair growth at the base of the spine, which may be accompanied by a mole or naevus (birthmark), a dimple or sinus (hole). This form of SB is believed to effect as many as 10% of the population. For the majority of people the condition is a minor fault involving one vertebrae in the lower back. Spina Bifida Occulta usually has little or no effect on health; in fact the condition is usually picked up during routine x-rays concerning unrelated problems.

For some people the presence of unwanted hair on the lower back may be the only sign of the condition. Having the hair removed by means of light-based technology is fast, effective and non-invasive. At our specialist Clinics in London, Altrincham, Leeds, Liverpool and Bury we offer free consultations to assess the area.

All consultations are FREE of charge and if your treatment is for NHS funding then all referral letters and reports are also FREE of charge.

No, you wouldn't be able to have treatment if you are suntanned, have a false tan or a user of sunbeds, this is because the laser light could get trapped in the Melanin and cause the area to overheat thus causing blistering or even burns.
