  • IPL verses Laser Hair Removal

    Posted on June 22, 2011 by Rusty Nails

    When constrasting laser hair removal to IPL hair removal there are many aspects to consider including the effectiveness or outcomes, training and qualifications needed and the target chromophore within the skin.

    The wavelength of light used determines how deep the light or laser energy penetrates into the skin therefore changing whatever structures are in that particular layer. IPL or Intense Pulsed Light, as it is multiple wavelengths is more suited for treating multiple skin conditions such as pigmentation, capillaries and sun damage which lie in a similar area within the skin. A hair removal laser (such as the Alexandrite) and its single or targeted wavelength is more suited to the melanin residing within the base of the hair follicle, effectively neutralizing the cells designed for growing another hair.

    Licensed laser operators are required to hold a certificate qualification which represents a theoretical exam in addition to a minimum number of hours logged utilizing the laser hair removal technology. IPL on the other hand requires no such qualification and many can in fact be purchased quite cheaply leading to a large number of unqualified operators using the technology in an unskilled manner. This can lead to permanent side effects such as burning, scarring and discolouration in the skin.

    Laser is often less painful than IPL, doesn’t require messy ultrasound gels and generally requires much less treatment to achieve the desired hair removal result. IPL can sometimes have larger spot sizes than laser but often lasers have a faster repetition rate which allows a higher number pulses to be fired off in a shorter time frame.

    This equates to shorter treatment periods.
    Both laser and intense pulsed light have their place within the cosmetics industry but when it comes to permanent hair reduction, laser hair removal is the gold standard, especially when taking into account the improved safety and effectiveness of the technology.

  • Laser Hair Removal

    Posted on May 25, 2011 by Rusty Nails

    Men and women may choose to remove excess facial and body hair for many reasons, including social acceptance, aesthetic, hygienic and religious reasons. Several hair removal processes have come in and out of fashion over time, but the most effectual to date is laser hair removal, which has gained fantastic popularity recently.

    Familiar hair removal techniques include shaving, waxing, depilatory creams and plucking or tweezing. These methods temporarily remove the hair, leaving the skin smooth but can result in unwanted side-effects such as rash, irritation, ingrown hairs, and even scarring. In addition to such side-effects they can be time consuming and must be repeated regularly to maintain results.

    But time and technology have come up with advances in hair removal techniques, and no other is as effective as laser hair removal. It targets the melanin pigment in the hair allowing the laser energy to destroy cells at the absolute base of the hair follicle. This process progressively reduces the number of hairs in the treated area, and after a series of treatments results in a permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal results in little to no side-effects and is actually a very effective treatment for ingrown hairs commonly caused by waxing and plucking.

    Laser treatments can cover a large area in a small amount of time, with many people able to have a treatment in their lunchtime or on their way home from work. Treatments take from 5–60 minutes to complete and are usually spaced at 6 weekly intervals.

    Laser Hair Removal can save on the ongoing cost in both time and price of hair removal products such as wax, creams or razors, and will free you from worrying about daily, weekly or monthly upkeep, as it leaves the skin smooth and free from hair long-term.
