Laser hair removal is a safe procedure that results in permanent reduction of unwanted face and body hair. Both men and women who regularly wax or shave can benefit immensely from this treatment. It works on all areas of the face and the body.
Permanent laser hair removal involves thermally damaging hair follicles to stop hair growth. The laser produces a single wavelength of light which penetrates the skin. The laser light is absorbed into the hair shaft and rapidly heats and damages both the follicle and the vessel that provides the follicle with oxygen and nutrients. At Fresh Skin Canvas Melbourne, we use the Candela GentleLase Pro which is the Gold-Standard laser device for permanent hair reduction.
For permanent hair reduction by 90% or more, most people require 4 to 8 treatments by best laser skin clinic. It is because at any given time everyone has a mix of actively growing, transitioning, and resting hair. Only actively growing hair can be destroyed during a treatment. Follicles belonging to transitional and resting hair will be unaffected by the laser and continue to produce hair. Subsequent treatments are therefore scheduled when these transitioning or resting hair are active (usually 4-6 weeks apart for most body areas). For optimum results, it is important to adhere to the treatment schedule. Once you have covered the 4-stage hair growth cycle (usually 4 to 6 treatments), you will then require maintenance treatments. These can be spaced up to 6 months apart, depending on your growth.
Treatments are performed on clean, dry and closely shaved skin. Laser hair removal in Melbourne can be completed quickly with large areas treated in a matter of minutes. Treatments are extremely comfortable thanks to Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device. This inbuilt device sprays super-cooled gas directly onto the skin as the laser starts penetrating the skin. The cooling gas ensures that the treatment is tolerable and less painful than waxing.
