Unwanted hair can make us feel self-conscious. But with laser hair removal, the days of tweezing, waxing and depilatories may soon be behind us.
Not like shaving, our laser device the Duetto MT Evo uses two gold-standard lasers to treat all skin and hair types with this treatment method.
Precision
Laser hair removal is an innovative permanent hair reduction treatment that utilizes light energy to damage the follicles responsible for producing hair, thus stopping future growth of new strands of stubble or ingrowns from coming through. Laser treatment may also help improve skin tone and texture by stimulating collagen production.
Laser hair removal uses selective photothermolysis, a form of light therapy which uses light to target dark pigments like melanin in both hair and skin without heating other tissues. By choosing an optimal wavelength and pulse duration for laser energy delivery, its wavelength partially damages basal stem cells responsible for hair growth.
There are various types of laser hair removal equipment, and choosing one will depend on both your skin type and hair colour. Alexandrite or Nd:YAG lasers are two popular choices – with Nd:YAG being safe for all skin and hair colors while Alexandrite lasers may treat darker hair more efficiently but may cause discomfort due to repeated laser light pulses.
As part of the procedure, you’ll be required to wear protective eyewear. Once in position, a physician will use a hand-held laser instrument containing either cooling devices or gel on its tip to protect skin from discomfort during laser beam transmission through skin to hair follicles and damage them with intense heat to prevent future growth of hair follicles.
After your laser treatment, it is normal to experience some redness or swelling which will subside within hours. To minimize discomfort you can apply ice to the affected area for several minutes to reduce discomfort. It is also advised that for six weeks following laser treatments you use broad spectrum sunscreen on any exposed areas as this may reduce sun exposure and provide additional protection.
Laser hair removal can give your skin the appearance of velvet, without ever needing to shave or wax again – saving both time and money! Plus, ingrown hairs and razor burn are no more!
Speed
Laser hair removal is an efficient, painless solution for permanently eliminating unwanted facial and body hair growth. Safe for all skin types, it requires only six treatments spread out 4-8 weeks apart for long-lasting results.
Laser hair removal stands apart from waxing, shaving and tweezing in that it targets each hair at its root without impacting surrounding skin areas. As such, after treatment your skin will look silky smooth without any prickly stubble left behind; also no ingrown hairs ever again as this treatment destroys follicles which otherwise generate them!
Your technician will use a powerful laser to quickly target multiple hairs at once, making treatment sessions very quick. Small areas like underarms can typically be addressed within 20 minutes while larger ones like arms or legs may take up to an hour for complete treatments. Plus, this non-invasive light-based technology doesn’t require any downtime between sessions; just return back to normal life immediately following each one!
One of the key components to successful laser hair removal is wavelength power. A variety of lasers exist specifically designed to target pigment in hair follicles; those with higher wavelengths will likely destroy darker follicles more readily. Spot size and fluence (energy density) should also be taken into account when choosing a suitable laser system.
At our clinic, we use medical-grade Candela GentleMax Pro systems that have been FDA and TGA-approved, for fast and efficient laser hair removal treatments. These lasers utilize advanced cooling devices to protect the skin and make treatment virtually pain-free. Since these lasers can be customized according to body parts as well as individual skin tone/thickness variations, our clinic offers customized settings for every treatment session and person undergoing the procedure.
Our Level 4 NVQ laser technicians have received comprehensive training on different kinds of laser platforms and will customize a treatment to meet the unique needs of each of their patients. For optimal results, please follow any instructions before and after each treatment; some providers advise against waxing or tweezing in the days leading up to sessions as these actions could prevent the laser from targeting its intended follicles.
Safety
Laser hair removal utilizes high-energy light pulses to disable unwanted hair follicles and stop them from producing new hair growth. It does this by targeting melanin pigment in hair shafts; laser carefully delivers a burst of light energy directly to each unwanted follicle, heating it up before disabling and damaging it permanently compared with electrolysis, although full results may take several treatments before appearing.
Spot size and fluence (energy density) of a laser determine how much energy will be delivered to hair follicles during a session. A higher fluence can reach deeper layers of skin more efficiently and target melanin more directly; while with lower spot size less energy may still reach each hair follicle in order to disable its production of new hairs.
Before beginning laser hair removal, it is essential that you refrain from waxing or plucking. Your provider will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for treatment in a safe and effective manner.
Some normal side effects associated with laser hair removal include itching, reddening of the skin and swelling near treated follicles; these should resolve within several days. Some patients also report feeling an occasional shiver during laser hair removal – this should not compromise your results but you should notify your provider if these side effects continue for an extended period.
Laser hair removal not only prevents new hair growth, but can also remove ingrown and stubble caused by shaving or waxing. In some instances, laser hair removal may even help to minimize or completely reduce or eliminate the need for such tasks.
Laser hair removal should provide safe and consistent results; however, when selecting one it is vital that an experienced and licensed professional uses the equipment correctly – improper operation could damage skin tissue and lead to serious health complications.
Results
Laser hair removal is an effective, permanent way to rid yourself of unsightly facial and body hair. By permanently disabling each individual follicle, it prevents future growth – leaving soft and smooth skin, no ingrown hairs and shaving rash behind!
Laser hair removal uses selective photothermolysis technology, which uses wavelengths and pulse duration to target specific tissues without harming nearby ones. Melanin pigment absorbs some wavelengths that target hair removal; spot size and fluence (energy density of beam) play key roles in successful treatments.
Melanin absorbs light, making dark-colored hair the ideal candidate for laser hair removal, though lighter-haired people have found success using this method as well. Keep in mind, however, that hair grows in cycles and will likely require multiple sessions before your unwanted hairs have completely been eliminated.
Este Medical’s laser hair removal Oxford Circus procedure can help you eliminate unwanted hair on your face, chest or arms with amazing results. Imagine never needing to shave or wax again as our highly skilled laser technicians are all Level 4 NVQ trained – trusting them to provide optimal outcomes tailored specifically to your skin type!
