Laser Hair Removal - Get The Facts

IPL was designed to treat cosmetic issues such as acne

, reddened skin, pigmentation, aging and sun damaged skin. Although not designed specifically for hair removal, it was found that the IPL energy could assist in hair reduction. IPL's emit an unfocussed or scattered light and are not pin-point accurate unlike medical lasers which emit a coherent or very focussed laser beam. IPL or light pulse machines can therefore cause serious damage to your skin if not operated properly. IPL's for hair reduction may work on some people however additional treatments may be required to get the results you're looking for.

If you are going to get your hair removed, find a company with Diploma graduates with a minimum of 5 years skin therapy experience. Make sure they are highly trained and specialise in Hair Removal.

Be very weary of a rushed consultation. Certain medical conditions and medications or just simple sun exposue could cause complications. Therapists should take the time to discuss your skin type, hair texture, medical history and also talk about what you should expect from your Laser Treatments before you go ahead. During this consultation the Therapist should also outline the cost of your treatments and how many you'll need for maximum results. You should not have to pay for this consultation.

A series of medical grade Laser treatments will be required approximately 6-10 weeks apart, depending on the area treated. Treatments at more frequent intervals suggest the equipment used may not be a medical grade laser or the laser is not being operated effectively.

There are different kinds of lasers. each laser is designed for a specific purpose, no one laser is suitable for everybody. Medical grade lasers that match your skin type are best.

Alexandrite Lasers are Used to treat fair to mid toned skin with medium to course dark hair. Nd Yag are used to treat darker skin types with course dark hair. Diode are used to treat fair to mid toned skin and can also treat dark fine hair, however can be much slower per treatment due to their 'spot' size or size of the head.

To achieve exceptional results you need to have the latest laser technology, coupled with highly trained Laser Therapists and utilise only best practice methodologies and products. For some clients a combination of lasers may be required for optimal results.

Take your time, do your research and good luck with you hair removal.
