Laser Hair Removal - Ask the Right Questions and Select the Right Clinic

There are many types of equipment on the market that purport to be suitable for Laser Hair Removal. The fact is that a very large proportion of these devices were designed for beauty and skin treatments and lack the precision required for effective permanent hair removal as proven by clinical trials.

 

A number of older technology laser devices such as light sheer diode (9mm coverage area) and ruby lasers may be effective for hair removal but are slow, painful and outdated as compared to some modern state of the art Lasers that have twice the coverage area (18mm coverage) and use a cryogen (cold) spray during the treatment resulting in comfortable treatments.

 

A number of the newer devices are FDA approved Medical Grade Lasers specifically designed for fast, safe, comfortable and effective hair removal. There are different lasers for different skin types i.e. dark skin is more challenging to treat and needs a specifically designed laser to achieve lasting results without running the risk of hypopigmentation (lightening of the treated skin). 

 

Treatment by highly skilled therapists trained in the use of these Medical Grade Lasers is also very important and should not be underestimated as its one thing to have the best equipment available yet another to know how to best calibrate and skilfully adapt the equipment to suit the specific needs of each client .When researching Laser Hair Removal providers, clients often do not know the right questions to ask or what is important for them to know when assessing a service provider. Some of these questions are:

 

- Do you use real Medical Grade TGA approved Lasers (not IPL, SPL, VPL) for Permanent Hair Reduction?

- What type of Laser do you use?

- Do you have lasers suitable for my skin type?

- Who will provide my Laser Hair Removal treatments and what experience do they have?

- How many treatments will I need to achieve up to 90% permanent hair reduction?

- How often will I need to visit on average?

- Do you provide a warranty with your treatments?

- How many years have you specialized in hair removal?

 

A professional specialist hair removal provider should be able to easily answer these questions. Any clinic or provider that cannot respond will usually be heavily discounting their services and making promises that are simply too good to be true.

 

Caution should be exercised when dealing with these service providers as nothing is cheap if it does not work. Worse still, unskilled operators and inappropriate use of equipment could stimulate more hair growth (on some hormonal areas such as female facial hair) or cause burns or pigmentation.

 

Specialist Laser Hair Removal is safe, fast, effective and tailored to suit your needs. If you are in doubt seek more information until all your questions have been answered.

It can be very confusing to select a suitable laser hair removal provider that will give you honest and appropriate advice on the best treatment for your specific needs, skin type and budget.
