Frequently
Asked Questions
Is it effective?
Yes, the technology is backed by world wide clinical
research studies with proven results.
The most effective results have been achieved on fair
skin and darker hair. It is not suitable for black or
sun tanned skin. The treatment is also unlikely to work
for blond or grey hair.
How many treatments are needed?
Laser only destroys hairs when they are in the
growth phase. At any one moment 20% of hairs
are resting or dormant. Repeated sessions will
treat these hairs when they re-enter the growth
phase. Generally all areas will require at least
six to eight treatments.
This depends on many factors including
your skin and hair type, ethnic background, hormonal
balance and skin sensitivity. It is not possible to
categorically state how many treatments an individual
will need, however this will be discussed at your consultation. What parts of the body
can be treated?
Laser can treat all external areas of the
body and face.
What does a treatment involve?
A cool gel is applied to the area to be treated.
The Laser handpiece is placed gently against
the skin and pulses of intense light are delivered
into the hairs. At the time of the treatment
some of the hairs are wiped off, however it
can take up to two weeks for all the treated
hairs to fall out.
