Laser hair removal offers a more permanent solution than shaving or waxing; however, regular maintenance sessions will still be necessary.
Hair lasers work by targeting pigment, so if you have light-skinned, results may be diminished or nonexistent altogether. Also, treatments shouldn’t be performed on areas that have been sunburnt as this could exacerbate any existing sun damage to that region.
IPL
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser hair removal uses light to eradicate unwanted hair. A handheld flashgun delivers a spectrum of light customized to your skin color to the layers where melanin concentration occurs, with melanin absorbing and converting light energy to heat that damages and destroys hair follicles, thus stopping further hair growth allowing your surface skin to remain smoother than before.
Some people experience permanent results from IPL treatments while for others it simply provides temporary reduction in hair growth that lasts several months or years. The process is quicker and lower risk than waxing; it also requires multiple treatments over time to see its full effects – however results will vary according to individual users.
Epidermal burns may result from improper procedures if performed by untrained personnel, potentially resulting in discolouration, scarring and other forms of skin damage; for this reason it’s vital that you find a licensed practitioner who understands all potential risks involved with this form of treatment.
IPL may not be as effective on clients with dark skin due to contrast between their skin tone and hair colour, preventing IPL lasers from detecting their hair follicles effectively resulting in less than optimal hair reduction, or even failure of detection altogether. A professional will discuss your specific skin and hair circumstances and suggest the ideal IPL treatment option for you.
While IPL can be uncomfortable, its results are the longest lasting of any hair removal method. After six months of regular treatments, you could never need to shave or use wax again! For best results and safety when seeking IPL treatments, consult with a reputable spa with experienced technicians such as Mason Aesthetics and Wellness who provide many safe aesthetic services including laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is an innovative technique that utilizes light waves to penetrate a target area, whereby their wavelength absorbs pigment present in hair follicles and generates heat that loosens hair while inhibiting cells that promote future growth, producing smooth, hairless skin with delayed regrowth – an increasingly popular treatment option among many people.
Before beginning laser hair removal, there are some key aspects to keep in mind, including upfront costs and potential side effects. Furthermore, selecting an experienced technician is critical in order to minimise risk of complications and maximize success.
One of the main advantages of laser hair removal is that it is less painful than other options for hair-removal, including waxing. Laser removal also more effectively removes every hair follicle without leaving an annoying sticky residue behind, and requires only four or six treatments initially, followed by occasional maintenance sessions afterwards.
Laser hair removal may have some upfront costs that make it prohibitively expensive when compared with waxing and shaving, both more affordable solutions for hair removal. Furthermore, laser may cause redness and swelling; however, most people find it to be safe and effective treatment option.
Laser hair removal can be slightly uncomfortable. Some patients describe the sensation as being snapped by a rubber band; to help alleviate discomfort some providers provide numbing agents to minimize pain.
Prior to beginning laser hair removal, it is vital that any other methods for hair removal be discontinued as these could interfere with its ability to penetrate skin and damage hair follicles. Furthermore, it would be wise to avoid direct sunlight on the area being treated until shortly before your appointment date and schedule treatment sessions at regular intervals.

Nd: YAG
Laser hair removal is an increasingly safe and effective method for eliminating unwanted body hair from areas like the face, neck, arms, underarms and legs. While not completely eliminating all hair permanently, it significantly reduces it compared to shaving or waxing alone and eliminates ingrown hairs or rashes caused by shaving, which is particularly helpful for those with sensitive skin.
Laser hair removal uses high-frequency pulsed light to target pigment in your hair and destroy it. As soon as the laser hits your locks, it absorbs any melanin contained within them, turning it into heat that damages hair follicles preventing further hair production and slowing or stopping new growth altogether. However, laser removal may be less successful among dark-skinned individuals as melanin from both their skin and their locks compete for absorption of energy; for this reason it is wise to consult an experienced dermatologist who can recommend which laser will best meet your specific needs.
Before beginning laser hair removal treatments, numbing cream will be applied to the area to be treated and additional pain medications (over-the-counter or prescription) may also be taken for added comfort. After this step is taken, your practitioner will use an ND YAG laser over this area, emitting light pulses directly into the skin.
These pulses will not only remove your unwanted hair but will also promote collagen production for tighter, healthier skin. The ND YAG laser has proven particularly successful when dealing with darker skin tones due to its superior melanin absorption capabilities and no discoloration issues – Dr Kaplan usually recommends this laser to his clients with Fitzpatrick skin types V or VI.
The ND YAG laser not only reduces hair growth, but it can also help improve your skin tone by targeting brown spots and reducing redness in your complexion. It is an ideal treatment option for people suffering from spider veins, rosacea or other forms of vascular lesions on either their faces or bodies.
