How is treatment carried out?
The hairs must be pre-shaven before the treatment. The laser is then passed over the area and the melanin (pigment) in the hairs absorbs the light and converts this to heat. This heat then kills and destroys the cells that make the hair, meaning a new hair cannot grow again out of that follicle.
Is it permanent?
This is a question we get asked a lot and the answer is yes! As we kill the cells that make the hair a new hair cannot grow from that follicle, and the follicle will shrink and can even die. What we cannot do is treat a follicle that has no hair in it. If the area of treatment only has a few hairs, for example the chin you may only currently have 10% of your potential hair growth. This means in the future you may get more hair in the other 90% of the follicles, but this hair was not presence at the time of your treatment so couldn’t be killed. So on certain areas of the body on-going treatment may be needed (facial hair in particular).
Laser Hair Removal - FAQs Cont
Am I suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. Best results are seen with people who have lighter skin and dark thick hairs. Dark hair is easier to treat as it has a high concentration of melanin (pigment) and fairer skins mean there is a bigger contrast between hair and skin. Fair hair is trickier to treat and thinner hair, but it is reported that people with fairer, thinner hair still get a good reduction of hair with our system.
How does it feel?
With our Moveo (pain free) hand piece, the area is pre cooled with the sapphire tip, which make the treatment a lot more tolerable. It is often described as a gradual increase in temperature, a bit warm but nothing like the traditional laser where it is like a flick of an elastic band on your skin.
How long does it take?
The treatment length varies depending on the size of the area. Something small such as top lip will take 10 minutes, something larger e.g.: full leg or full back could take 45-60 minutes.
Is there a recovery period?
The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and raised but this usually subsides within a few hours. Adverse reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
How many treatments are recommended?
Only hair that is actively growing is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed a typical average number of treatments is 6-12, though it does vary. Treatments are conducted every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the area being treated, until a good result is seen.
Microblading Brows
- It is considered to be semi permanent makeup, which last 12-24 months, depends on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare.
- It is done using a very fine blade to deposit pigment into the epidermis layer of the skin, mimicking natural hair strokes.
- Ideal for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows. The results are natural looking hair-like strokes, fuller and more defined looking eyebrows regardless of the amount of hair you currently have.
Microblading Brows - FAQs
Is it painful?- The level of discomfort is relatively minor and varies between individuals. Some people have reported the experience to be similar in pain to tweezing two to three hairs at the same time. We use numbing cream and topical anaesthetic to numb the area before and during the treatment. Topical anaesthetics are safe and may contain lidocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine.
- Redness and slight swelling in the area is common after the procedure. The feeling can be compared to the experience of slight sunburn. Aftercare soothing gel is provided to help with calming the skin and speed up the healing process.
How long does it take?- It is done in two sessions. The first takes two to three hours. In the first session, the brow is shaped and styled to the client’s preference, and pigment is applied. Four to six weeks later, the client returns for the second session for touch up. A touch up can take anywhere from one to two hours.
Why is a touch up needed?- A touch up is necessary because everyone heals differently and therefore results vary due to skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the colour and brow thickness by adding more strokes. In the touch up session, the final adjustments are made to assure the client’s satisfaction.
What if I don’t like it?- The style, shape and colour will be discussed thoroughly before the treatment is carried out. Adjustments may be made during touch up, such as pigment discoloration and colour correction
