FAQ
Passing safely, through the skin's dermal layers, the laser light is attracted to the pigment at the hair root where heat from the laser is absorbed to destroy hair follicles at their base. Due to the fact that hair growth takes place in cycles, a course of sessions is required to treat any one area, in just a single treatment.
It is often mistaken that IPL and lasers are the same. The main differences between Laser and IPL hair removal lie in the technology. Laser technology is simply much more effective, and achieves substantially better results than IPL. IPL is a cheaper, less effective technology for reducing body hair. Lasers are far more precise and can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Laser hair removal can be used to treat larger body areas. Laser settings are adjusted to suit your skin tone whereas IPL can cause burns on darker skin tones.
During the consultation, the treatment is fully explained and your laser therapist will advise the best course of action for you. Depending on your hair removal treatment area. We will at your first consultation endeavour to test patch 2 small discreet areas of your body (under Jawline, inside forearm or leg). The test patches will enable you to have further hair removal treatments in any other area without the need for additional test patching. The size of each test patch is roughly 4 cm sq. This excludes the bikini line/perianal areas as these areas will require a separate test patch.
We will clean the area to be treated and apply a clear gel to assist the laser head to glide across the skin. The laser applies precisely controlled pulses/energy reaching into the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The laser head has a cooling tip that is used to minimize skin damage.
Environmental factors may affect the intensity and technique of each treatment. This can be in the form of and not limited to exposure/hormonal changes/sensitivity. After the area has been treated, a post soothing cream may be applied. This has a cooling effect and has slight numbing properties.
Treatments are between 15 - 90 minutes long depending on the size of the area you are having treated.
Some clients report minor or no discomfort during treatment.
An ideal candidate usually requires 6-8 treatments 4-10 weeks apart to achieve between approximately 70-90% permanent hair reduction. Facial areas are slower to respond, so they may easily take 10 - 15 sessions. Coarser, darker hairs can respond faster. It's worth noting that dormant hair follicles can become active years later, so you may find you need to book in for top up maintenance sessions after you've completed your full treatment program.
