What system is used at the Laserase clinic? There are a huge number of laser and IPL options to choose from for hair reduction (and for white and grey hair, which lasers and IPLs cannot treat, there are also electrolysis techniques). We have been using lasers for depilation since we trialled an early hair removal laser in 1995. Having had access to all of the options, we used an Alexandrite laser for many years. However technology has moved on and we have recently invested in a state of the art Soprano XL laser which provides the very best balance of results, speed and comfort. The Soprano XL laser is suitable for all skin types, hair types and most hair colours, although red hair does not always respond and white or grey hair cannot be treated. A typical protocol would initially suggest treatments at 4-8 week intervals and generally between 4-10 sessions may be required. This may vary depending on the individual skin type and treatment response. An added bonus with this new system is the fact that, unlike other systems, hair does not need to be visible above the surface of the skin for the laser to be effective on it. A test patch is generally required before treatment commences. As with all laser treatments the area should be protected from direct sunlight and a high factor sun screen (SPF30+) applied daily for at least 3 months after laser treatment. |
