The latest technology for laser hair removal is a certified Polylase Alexandrite medical grade laser. Since these lasers deliver light at one specific frequency, rather than a wider range of wavelengths, the energy that can be used is much more effective in deadening the hair follicle.
Laser treatments are safe, pain-free and very reasonable compared to alternative technologies.
You will be more effectively treated per session with a laser and will therefore need less sessions than with other light based techniques.
The Polylase laser uses a special cooling system that lowers the temperature of the skin during, and after laser exposure. Therefore, the laser hair treatment is generally less irritating and is well tolerated. Some patients have compared the treatment to the sensation of the snap of a rubber band.
Be sure the laser hair removal treatment you choose is with a true laser and not intense pulsed light. Most clinics cannot use a genuine laser due to the cost of the equipment and the strict licencing requirements, and try to claim that intense pulsed light machine is an equal substitute.
This treatment is suitable for both men and women and great for people that suffer with ingrown hairs.
The requirements to own and operate lasers in Queensland is highly regulated. There are only a handful of clinics who are fully licensed. Make sure the service provider you visit employs laser operators who are fully licensed and accredited by the Queensland department of Health. BSIBL120409
