10 Reasons to ditch the razor and try laser hair removal

4540620_orig

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular beauty treatments available for both men and women who are seeking to obtain smooth hair free skin with long lasting results.

 

Are you still a bit unsure if you should switch to permanent laser hair reduction? Here’s 10 reasons why you definitely should:

 

  1. Long- lasting results:  laser hair removal will permanently reduce the amount of hair from 85 to 99% in just around 8 to 10 sessions in total, as opposed to other hair removal methods such as shaving, plucking and waxing, where constant maintenance is required.
  2. It will suit almost every one: laser is suitable to both man and women of most ages, with any skin types, that have dark hair. Laser will not be effective on blond, grey, white or red hairs. If in doubt, a test patch is always a good way to see if you hair is suitable or not for laser hair removal.
  3. Cost effective: laser hair removal these days is pretty cost effective and the pricing is not that much different to waxing for example. The big difference it makes in your pocket is the amount of sessions it takes for you to say bye for good to all your unwanted hairs. Laser hair removal is a one off upfront investment, which will give you permanent results, whereas other methods of hair removal will be ongoing for the rest of your life.
  4. Saves time: say goodbye to wasting that extra precious time in the shower shaving off all your unwanted hairs. Did you know the average man will shave around 20,000 times in a lifetime and the average woman around 8,000 times? How much time will that take? With laser hair removal you will only need to dedicate a few minutes of your time once a month for about 10 times and then voila! Done! Time is money so that is reason enough to invest in laser hair removal.
  5. No more ingrown hairs: if you suffer from ingrown hairs, then laser is the best solution for you as it cuts off the blood flow to hair follicle, resulting in the hairs fall out from the root and eliminating the possibility of ingrown hairs, which is commonly caused by waxing and shaving.
  6. Virtually pain free: when compared to hair removal techniques which pulls the hair from the root, laser hair removal is way less painful, specially with the new advances in technology and the use of cooling devices which make the sessions more comfortable with no lingering pain afterwards.
  7. Mess free: unlike other methods such as shaving, waxing and IPL, laser hair removal is mess free, with no need for shaving cream, gels and sticky wax.
  8. Low maintenance: after you’re done with your course of treatments (8-10 sessions) you will then go into the “maintenance phase”, only requiring touch up sessions either once or twice a year, depending on your personal needs.
  9. Safe: if done correctly by a trained professional, laser is proven to be a safe method of hair removal. The laser beam will target and damage only the hair, leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected.
  10. Self-confidence boost: with laser hair removal you will never have to worry about embarrassing body or facial hair again. You will look and feel amazing!

Considering Laser Tattoo Removal? Here is all you need to know.

When it comes to permanently removing a tattoo in a safe way with minimum risk associated, laser tattoo removal is still the only option. In a nutshell, the only non-invasive method of removing tattoo pigments is by using Q-switched lasers. 

At Skinnovation Laser Clinic in Maroubra we use a medical grade laser; MedLite C6 Q- Switched laser, which is considered the Gold Standard of laser tattoo removal machines in the market. 

 

But how does it work?

The laser works by targeting the ink or pigment in the tattoo and shattering the ink particles into micro particles, that will be naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system. All of this process will happen without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues and most colours can be removed completely, without leaving any residual scarring.

 

How many treatments will I need?

The recommended number of treatments will vary depending on area of the body and also on the body’s ability to detoxify the ink particles. It can take from 6 to 15 sessions.
Black and dark ink will fade faster, while coloured tattoos will take a bit longer. Greens, yellows and florescent colours are the hardest colours to be removed.

 

How long does each session take?

Great news, It is fairly quick! Depending on the size of the tattoo, it can take from 5-10 minutes on a small tattoo up to 30 minutes on a very large tattoo with multiple different colours.

 

Does it hurt?

It can be quite uncomfortable to some people, but it will all depend on each individual’s pain threshold. At Skinnovation Laser Clinic in Maroubra we use we use the Zimmer Cooling System, which reduces the discomfort during the session by up to 80%. Additional skin pain management methods can be used, such as numbing cream application  1 hour prior to treatment, also available at our clinic.

 

Will it remove my tattoo completely? Will it leave any scarring?

In the majority of cases the tattoo will be removed completely without leaving any marks or any scarring. Very rarely, scarring can occur, but If post-care instructions are properly followed, the treatment should leave no scarring.

 

What can I expect immediately after treatment?

A white frost-like reaction is common after the treatment, which will fade in about 30 mins after the session. Redness and mild swelling are also common reactions. They normally subside after a few hours.
