Laser hair removal works by disabling the pigment of hair follicles and rendering them incapable of producing new hair growth.
This process is fast, safe and permanent – far superior to waxing, tweezing or shaving!
At our center, we use Motus AX technology, which is completely pain-free and effective on all skin types.
Alexandrite
The Alexandrite laser is an efficient and safe solution for treating various skincare concerns, including hair removal. The process is quick, simple and virtually pain-free – although you may experience redness and swelling following treatment; these typically subside within days. After your laser hair removal treatments it’s essential that you moisturize to reduce hyperpigmentation that could arise in some instances.
Motus laser hair removal technology differs significantly from previous solutions in that its cool sapphire tip comes close to skin surface for an almost painless and risk-free treatment, using its Alexandrite wavelength (755nm). This wavelength targets melanin in hair follicles for destruction while leaving surrounding skin undamaged – protecting you from blistering or burns that other systems often cause.
Another advantage of this technology is that it can be applied to all skin tones, from light to dark. Alexandrite laser is not as affected by melanin in darker skin tones and therefore more suitable. Additionally, this laser also has additional uses such as treating ingrown hairs; oftentimes shaving or other methods fail in eliminating these hairs, but with laser treatments they may permanently prevent further outbreaks.
Though laser hair removal is a permanent treatment, you will still require regular maintenance sessions to keep results looking their best. Shave the affected area prior to every session and avoid plucking or waxing the hairs for six weeks prior to receiving laser therapy; ink tattoos must also be removed prior to receiving laser treatments as these may hinder its ability to target hair follicles effectively.
The Elite+ is an innovative Alexandrite & Yag laser workstation, featuring permanent hair reduction, facial and leg vein treatment, epidermal pigmented lesions removal and wrinkle treatment with minimal discomfort for all skin tones. This system stands out as the premier example in its field in providing both Alexandrite and Yag laser technology combined with an advanced cooling system to maximize patient comfort.
Diode
Diode Laser Hair Removal is an increasingly popular choice among many looking to permanently get rid of unwanted hair. The procedure is less painful than waxing or shaving and far more effective, leading to permanent hair reduction and smooth skin. Diode lasers use light beams to heat and destroy hair follicles while leaving surrounding tissue undamaged; making it safe for all skin types and any area of use on the body.
Laser hair removal can be a relatively painless experience; however, its level of discomfort varies from person to person. While some individuals may experience intense levels of pain during laser hair removal treatments, others experience minimal or no discomfort at all. Factors which influence pain levels during laser hair removal sessions include the type of laser being used, an individual’s tolerance level for pain relief treatments, size/location of treatment area and so forth.
Before beginning laser hair removal treatments, it’s essential to properly prepare the area by cleansing and shaving it prior to treatment in order to prevent ingrown hairs or any complications that could arise during the procedure. Furthermore, waxing or plucking hair could interfere with laser’s ability to target specific follicles.
Diode laser hair reduction is a noninvasive, non-surgical solution to permanent hair reduction suitable for all skin types. This non-invasive solution targets melanin pigment in hair follicles to heat them off – unlike other lasers which damage surrounding tissues while targeting melanin specifically; treatment sessions for diode laser removal tend to be quicker and less invasive than others methods of hair removal.
Diode laser hair removal is an efficient solution suitable for all skin types, while being relatively painless. The laser’s sapphire tip comes into contact with skin quickly to reduce pain and avoid burns – an essential feature when treating sensitive areas such as bikini lines or armpits.
Nd:YAG
As opposed to Alexandrite and Diode lasers which utilize visible wavelengths to target melanin pigment in hair and skin, Nd:YAG uses wavelengths invisible to the naked eye in order to remove unwanted hair. It works by penetrating deep into skin to target blood supply that feeds hair follicles; this causes damage to interconnecting cells that connect it all and ultimately kills it off.
The Nd:YAG laser is an effective treatment option for dark skin tones as it does not cause thermal damage to surrounding tissues, as well as being ideal for treating broken veins and deeper veins without being as sensitive to hemoglobin and melanin as other lasers would be.
Unwanted body hair can be an embarrassing problem for those with darker complexions. Laser hair removal treatments offer one effective solution for this issue, helping reduce or eradicate unwanted body hair on arms, legs, bikini area, face and back – however a consultation should first take place as not all skin types and hair colours are suitable for treatment.
Cutera Xeo Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser hair removal systems are one of the most sought-after options for eliminating unwanted hair. They work by emitting an energy beam that passes through skin layers and absorbs melanin present in hair follicles, turning it into heat that destroys them – effectively stopping their production of further hair growth. Furthermore, Blend X technology from Cutera Xeo laser systems offers more effective and safer treatments across skin tones – providing safe solutions across skin tones.
Nd:YAG lasers can also be used to treat vascular lesions, including thread veins and spider veins on the face and legs, caused by red pigment (haemoglobin). When used, Nd:YAG light pulses target haemoglobin within blood vessels to collapse them into clots that seal off veins permanently.
Nd:YAG lasers have also been FDA-approved for treating onychomycosis, a fungal infection which leads to nail discoloration and thickening. A device specifically used for this treatment involves using a flashlamp-pumped short pulse Nd:YAG laser, providing 100 to 3000-microsecond pulses at fluences of 30-50 J/cm2 with 1 mm spot size fluences for rapid relief of symptoms.
Carbon Dioxide
Laser hair removal works by targeting specific wavelengths of light to destroy hair follicles and delay or altogether inhibit further hair growth in a treatment area. Common areas for treatment are facial areas (chin, upper lip and sideburns), bikini line, underarms and legs. Pain levels for laser hair removal treatment vary based on how thick the skin is – typically eyebrow and cheek areas tend to be less painful than arms or legs.
Pain levels for Laser Hair Removal vary based on the laser technology being employed, with older technologies (alexandrite) tending to be more painful than newer laser technologies such as Nd:YAG or Alma Soprano ICE Platinum. No matter which laser is used, many patients report that laser treatments are significantly less painful than alternative forms such as shaving and waxing.
People who have tried traditional laser hair removal often describe its sensation as being like the snapping of a rubber band against your skin, but this discomfort can be drastically decreased by pre-treating with numbing cream available at our clinic. Some clients even report complete painlessness after finishing multiple sessions at our center!
After receiving Laser Hair Removal treatment, patients may experience redness around individual hairs as well as mild swelling in the area treated. To alleviate these reactions, cooling cream such as Zensa Healing Cream or pure aloe vera gel may provide temporary relief – usually lasting 20 minutes or less before returning to work or daily activities immediately post treatment.
Contrary to shaving, plucking, and waxing methods that may result in razor burn, laser hair removal results are long-term and permanent. After receiving several treatments for Laser Hair Removal, most individuals will experience no further hair growth in the treated areas for two-5 years or longer; those who do experience hair growth post treatment typically find that the new growth tends to be thinner and finer than before treatment began.
