Hair V Go: the answer to unwanted hair

Unwanted facial hair for women is a common condition, and inevitably, it can prove very sensitive for anyone suffering from it, even if it is in fact, far less visible to everyone else.

We each produce three different types of hair on the face and body – hormonal, terminal and vellus hairs. The latter, vellus hairs, are better known by its cute-sounding term, “peach fuzz”. Except, for some people, its appearance may not always seem so cute.

Vellus hairs – or peach fuzz – are the soft, fine, downy hairs that we have all over our skin, generally on the outer layer. They are lightly coloured and, in some cases, even translucent. They exist to protect the skin. However, if you suffer from what you feel is excessive peach fuzz, it can easily knock your self-esteem, especially in this age of unforgiving, hi-tech camera phones and Instagram.

Indeed, we meet patients who are self-conscious of their picture being taken, or of standing in the sun in case their “fuzz” is highlighted, making the problem seems worse than it is. Well, if that sounds like you, we hear you loud and clear. It’s far from uncommon. In fact, nobody is safe from peach fuzz – even A-list celebrities! But at least you can do something about it.

Removing peach fuzz had, until now, been rather tricky. Vellus hairs are different in composition to the thicker, more coarse hairs on our body (they contain little to no melanin, for example), it’s not really possible to battle them via traditional means such as electrolysis, waxing, laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). However, those procedures can result in burning, scarring or hyperpigmentation.

Fortunately, a new treatment has recently been introduced, which is specifically designed to remove and manage vellus hair. This treatment is called Hair V Go, and we’re delighted to offer it at Vie Aesthetics.

Hair V Go is a high-pH treatment that breaks down the hair’s protein structure, known as keratin, and then dissolves the problem hair deep within its follicle. The hairs’ stem cells are also disabled, thus thwarting any repeat growth. This treatment is completely painless and involves zero surgery.

During procedures, patients have a special paste applied to the problem area, which targets the keratin and hair follicles. This is then followed by a special cleansing, which restores the skin’s acid mantle. Finally, a specially formulated cream containing botanical hair growth inhibitors is applied as a further layer of defence.

Effects from the treatment is cumulative, which means the more sessions you have done, the more the results become noticeable. Eventually, you will only need several treatments a year in order to manage the condition.

If peach fuzz has long been a bane of yours, give us a call today and find out how Hair V Go might restore your confidence.
