Canberra’s premier laser clinics specialize in permanent hair reduction, anti-ageing treatments and cosmetic injectables; some also offer other rejuvenating solutions, including acne treatment and sun damage repair.
China has rejected Australian claims that a Chinese warship directed a laser beam at a military aircraft flying near Djibouti. Defence Minister Peter Dutton warned the incident could have led to blindness for crewmembers or damaged navigation systems on board the plane.
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is a non-invasive light treatment used to address injuries and pain. It does this by increasing circulation to the area being treated, aiding healing processes within your body naturally, and speeding recovery time after physical activity – helping you get back to enjoying life more quickly! Laser therapy could even provide pain relief without medication or surgery side effects! Its safe use makes laser therapy ideal for use as part of recovery programs after injury as it allows people to return more quickly to normal activities after receiving laser therapy sessions.
Laser treatments have proven highly effective for treating various conditions, such as arthritis, muscle pain, back and neck pain, wounds, sports injuries and many others. Different lasers are utilized for different procedures; carbon dioxide lasers create shallow cuts used for skin cancer treatments while Argon lasers combine light therapy with photosensitizing drugs in photodynamic therapy – both techniques designed to kill cancer cells quickly. Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers travel along optical fibers making them perfect for throat cancer treatments.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) typically involves shining a low-powered laser or LED at an injured site for several minutes a day, multiple times weekly. The energy from the laser absorbs into injured tissue and stimulates its natural healing processes to help alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and facilitate tissue repair.
LLLT devices may either use continuous waves or pulsed frequencies for delivery of laser light therapy. Pulsed lasers pulsate on and off at specific frequencies for an improved impact than continuous waves.
When using LLLT, certified eye protection must be worn. Since laser energy is focused on the surface of the skin and cannot penetrate your eyes directly, treatments will typically start off slowly with your practitioner gradually increasing intensity until you feel at ease with it all.
A series of seven to ten treatments is generally necessary to achieve maximum results, with sessions typically lasting 2-10 minutes each and providing no discomfort whatsoever. Most patients report feeling a soothing warmth from the laser treatment during treatment sessions.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a safe, efficient method to get rid of unwanted body hair. A laser is used to target heat onto hair follicles so they no longer produce new growth – an effective alternative to shaving, waxing or plucking and suitable for all parts of the body. You may require multiple sessions; therefore it’s essential that you select an experienced practitioner registered on an appropriate register that verifies their training and skill set.
The type of laser chosen depends on both your skin tone and hair color. Lasers designed specifically to treat darker skin tones and hair colors work most efficiently; their laser beams detect pigment. Lighter-colored hair or skin absorb less heat, potentially leading to damage; therefore a technician may apply topical anesthetic before beginning your treatment to decrease discomfort during it.
During your treatment, the laser’s heat will target pigment and destroy hair follicles, and you may experience some redness and sensitivity afterward; this is normal. Furthermore, it may happen that some hair targeted by the laser sheds as part of its normal growth cycle before it can be destroyed by laser light.
Permanent results require multiple treatments over time, and most experts advise receiving at least six laser hair removal sessions each month, although more may be necessary depending on your desired result. Touch-up treatments might also be necessary in order to keep them looking their best.
Laser Canberra provides an alternative to temporary hair reduction methods like shaving legs, waxing eyebrows or tweezing armpits with its laser treatments for permanent hair reduction by targeting actual hair follicles – it is faster and more accurate than traditional methods of doing so.
What is IPL Hair Removal?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive and permanent way of eliminating unwanted hair. Additionally, IPL is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, fade scarring, improve acne and remove spider veins. An IPL machine works by emitting light pulses which absorb the pigment found in your hair follicles before being converted to heat energy that damages them, effectively ending any future hair growth.
A handheld flashgun is used to administer light flashes to the area being treated, which are then absorbed by melanin found in your hair and converted into heat energy, killing off its follicle and making further growth impossible. A course of treatment typically lasts six sessions before hair naturally begins falling out over time.
Contrary to laser treatment, IPL targets melanin in the second layer of skin without damaging tissue or cells – making it an easier and gentler option for more delicate areas such as facial features or for those who find laser too harsh for them. It can also be an ideal alternative if you have darker skin tones that find laser too intense a treatment option.
If you are considering having IPL treatments, it is crucial that your technician has all of the appropriate qualifications and experience. Ask to see copies of their certificates related to the machines they will be operating on you; this will give you confidence that your technician has all of the skills required for optimal results.
Laser and IPL hair removal treatments can be both painful and uncomfortable depending on your pain tolerance levels and treatment area. Some have likened the experience to getting tattooed or being flicked with a rubber band; but it’s important to keep in mind that these devices have been around for many years and are very safe.
Both IPL and laser treatments may be costly, but they offer much better long-term hair removal results than shaving creams or waxing alone. IPL or laser hair removal treatments may provide an attractive solution for anyone looking for long term relief from shaving, plucking or tweezing unwanted facial or neck hair – an often embarrassing or embarrassing task in public places like necks or faces.
What is Low Light Laser Therapy?
Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT) is an noninvasive, drug-free solution to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and speed healing in those suffering from chronic and acute health conditions. Specialized devices create photochemical reactions in cells of targeted areas to produce optimal results over multiple sessions.
At an LLLT session, laser light passes through your skin and directly hits affected areas, where particles of light are absorbed by cell mitochondria – giving them an energy boost and stimulating chemical responses that promote cell regeneration and healing while improving communication among them. This process mimics photosynthesis just like plants do.
Cells will use this absorbed energy to increase intracellular metabolism and promote new cell growth, leading to an increase in circulation, improved tissue flexibility and strength, faster wound healing and the release of endorphins – natural painkillers which also helps decrease swelling and muscle spasms. LLLT may even increase production of endorphins for added pain relief!
LLLT therapy also has many other uses to offer. One such application is treating diabetic-related foot ulcers that commonly appear on feet and lead to infection. By stimulating blood flow and encouraging new cell development, it can reduce their severity significantly.
In addition, LLLT can also be used to treat many other conditions. For instance, it can help treat herniated discs, whiplash injuries, tendonitis and arthritis; and speed the healing process post surgery.
The LLLT app also comes equipped with a diary that allows you to track your progress and monitor results. It provides an in-depth report that details how effective each session has been and provides reminders to ensure you stay on schedule with LLLT treatments – available both on iOS and Android platforms.
