IPL Laser Hair Removal
Excess and unwanted hair is a common problem. Women frequently experience this condition on the face, especially the upper lip or eyebrow area, in the bikini area, under the arms or on the legs. Men often wish to rid themselves of hair on their back or chest. - they too may have unwanted hair between their eyebrows or on other parts of their face and body.
Excess body hair can be unsightly and embarrassing. Shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide temporary fixes that are inconvenient, irritating, messy and only temporary. Electrolysis is time consuming, sometimes painful, and is useful only in removing hair from small areas.
Advanced technology lasers and light sources are rapidly changing hair removal treatment, providing gentle, non-invasive and long-lasting solutions to unwanted hair. Among laser and light-based devices, the IPL™ and the LightSheer™ Diode Laser System provide safety, superior results and patient satisfaction.
We offer two effective methods of permanent hair reduction:
IPL Hair Reduction
The Lumenis intense pulsed light hair reduction system treats a range of skin types and hair colours simply and effectively. It offers a highly successful long term solution to hair reduction.
The procedure involves treating the hair with a light source of specific wavelength and strength to destroy the hair root and hence prevent further hair growth in that area.
Extensive areas can be treated in one treatment session, although with any such system, a number of treatments may be required to achieve the optimum result.
LIGHT SHEER™ Hair Reduction
The LightSheer™ diode laser is a state-of-the-art system specially designed to provide permanent hair reduction faster and safer, with less discomfort than other methods.
Using the latest generation diode laser, this state-of-the-art technology operates at the optimal wavelength of light that is best absorbed by both the hair shaft and follicle while protecting the surface skin from heat damage. It incorporates ChillTip™ technology , which continuously cools the skin making the procedure more comfortable.
The LightSheer™ has been shown to be a successful method for permanent reduction of unwanted, unsightly hair.
Prior to your first treatment, Dr. Montero will assess your skin’s suitability for laser and will begin with a patch test as a further safety measure.
