What
type of laser is used at the Aesthetic Day Surgery?
At
ADS Laser Hair Removal, we use LightSheer Diode laser, the latest
technology in laser hair removal to date, suitable for all skin
types.
How
does the laser work?
The
laser produces a beam of highly once treated light, which is absorbed
by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser pulses for
a fraction of a second just long enough to damage the hair follicle
without causing damage to the surrounding skin. The result is safe
and effective hair removal.
Is
it safe?
Done
properly by a trained laser operator laser treatment is effective
and safe. The ADS laser hair removal treatments are performed on
the premises of the aesthetic day surgery by a registered nurse
with extensive training in the use of the Lightsheer Diode laser.
Medical assistance is easily accessible at these premises.
Is
it painful?
Clients
describe the experience varying from a tingling sensation to a sensation
not unlike 'the flick of an elastic band against your skin'. Most
clients tolerate the procedure well. As the laser intensity is increased
for more effective hair removal, it may become more uncomfortable.
Cooling pads are used to minimise any discomfort. Topical anaesthetic
cream is available.
Is
it permanent?
Of
all the methods available to date, this laser if the most effective
at permanent to long term hair removal. It is most successful on
darker or course hair.
Is
Laser Hair Removal suitable for all skin types??
The
Lightsheer Diode laser is suitable for all skin types.
How
many treatments will I need?
The
laser is effective on hair follicles that are in the active growth
phase. Only a percentage of hair follicles are in the growth phase
at any one time. For this reason, several treatments are required
at approximately six weeks apart. On average 3-6 treatments are
required for optimal results.
What
can you expect following your treatment?
The
appearance of the treated area immediately after a laser session
will vary form client to client, depending on the extent of treatment,
energy setting of the laser machine and your skin type It is normal
to experience some redness and some mild swelling which disappears
in a short time. Most people return to normal activity immediately.
Most
areas can be treated in 20-60 minutes. However , large body areas
such as legs or backs may take up to 90 minutes or several treatments.
What
areas can be treated?
Most
areas of excessive hair growth, such as face, upper lip, chin, under
arms, arms, legs, bikini line, chest, back, shoulders and abdomen.
You may wish to discuss other treatment areas with the nurse.
How
much will it cost?
During
your initial consultation, the area or areas you wish to have treated
will be assessed and you will be given an exact costing. Costings
are based on regions treated and the treatment time, although a
guideline is available. You will find laser hair removal cost effective
compared to other methods such as waxing or electrolysis. Results
are seen much more quickly and are more permanent.
Further
questions?
We
will be happy to answer any further questions. Please feel free
to call and speak with the registered nurse. You may call to book
