A beautician who had a nightmare laser hair removal treatment said the experience stopped her feeling ‘like a woman’.<\/p>\n

Sannah Sohail, 31, visited an established\u00a0laser clinic\u00a0in 2018 but was left bitterly disappointed by the results.<\/p>\n

After eight hair removal treatments, Sannah found that not only was her hair “much longer” but that a cyst had developed beneath her skin.<\/p>\n

Sannah, who lives in Liverpool city centre,\u00a0told the ECHO: “I got a cyst, they offered me to see a doctor who confirmed that it was a cyst.<\/p>\n

“They told me I’d need to see a private doctor to remove it and promised me to provide it – the cyst removal was never provided.”<\/p>\n

Sannah also claims she wasn’t offered after care advice to protect her skin effectively after the treatment.<\/p>\n

The beauty practitioner told the ECHO: “They don’t warn you how to look after your skin, just [tell you to use] aloe.<\/p>\n

“They don’t tell you not to wear leggings or underwear, tight clothing can aggravate it.<\/p>\n

“Now I’m scared to wear tight clothes in case it brings the cyst back.<\/p>\n

“It stops you from feeling like a female – I’m afraid to get too hot in case it brings it back, I don’t wear jeans anymore because of it.”<\/p>\n

The laser treatment didn’t work for Sannah, who claims that instead of removing the hair as she expected, the treatment actually left her with even more prominent hairs.<\/p>\n

She said: “They deceived me out of \u00a32,200 for eight sessions that made my hair grow thicker.<\/p>\n

Sannah spoke to other women about their experiences and found that she wasn’t alone.<\/p>\n

Sannah told the ECHO: “I know people who had the same experience and people who’ve had burns.”<\/p>\n

She was so disappointed by her experience that she started doing research into laser hair removal.<\/p>\n

After investing in a diode machine, which allows practitioners to carry out hair removal, Sannah launched her own private clinic.<\/p>\n

After launching her own clinic, Sannah said she feels more educated on laser treatments and the different approaches required for different skin tones.<\/p>\n

She said: “Now that I’m qualified I know that they lied to me. Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment is a [hair] reduction treatment, not a removal. It’s more similar to waxing.<\/p>\n

“I have skin type four – they used an IPL laser so I should’ve been warned that it wouldn’t work.<\/p>\n

“IPL doesn’t cater to skin types four, five and six which are darker shades.”<\/p>\n
