What is LASER HAIR REDUCTION?

At Whitsunday Cosmedic Skin Clinic LASER Hair Reduction is achieved with the use of our Candela GentleLASE Class 4 Medical Grade Alexadrite 755nm LASER. This device is TGA/FDA approved for hair reduction. The laser system does this by creating a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deep into the skin tissue where it delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat, without damage to the surrounding tissue. It disrupts the blood supply to the hair follicles that are in an active growth stage only. Approx only 20% of hair being treated are in the active growth stage at one time and for this reason multiple regular treatments are required to achieve a reduction. Hairs can be in the resting stage for 2-7 years and after the recommended regular treatments are completed maintenance treatments will be required over that time frame. As the lights target is melanin, best results seen by LASER are on dark hair, it will not work on white, blonde, red or grey. As melanin is also present in skin best results will be in lower Skin Types and less sun exposed areas. Higher Skin Types are able to be treated however preparation for the skin and more treatments will be required for safety.
