Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal FAQ’s

What is IPL?
We use the term CPL instead of IPL, however, it has been known as IPL in the past. CPL is the new IPL.

How does CPL remove hair?

Highly controlled flashes of light are selectively absorbed by hair-filled follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which damages or destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle. The result is successful hair removal without damaging the surrounding tissue.

What happens during a laser hair removal treatment?

It begins by trimming away the hair above the skin. You may be asked to wear dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. Next, a cold gel (similar to ultrasound gel) may be spread over the treatment area. The CPL hand piece is then applied to your skin and pulses of light begin disabling your unwanted hair. The remaining hair in the treated area falls out over the next week or two.

What does the treatment feel like?

Each pulse of light feels like a slight sting or pinch, similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anaesthesia is required and most people tolerate the treatment well.

Is CPL safe for all skin types?

CPL is the first photo epilation procedure proven to effectively treat unwanted hair on all skin types.

Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Amazing, you already see a difference after the first treatment and generally by the third, at least half the area is gone. The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to your specific kind of hair and skin. A customised laser hair removal treatment program will be designed for you along with an estimate of how many treatments you may need in order to meet your expectations.
