Why Hair Reduction Treatments?
The combination of these hair removal systems allows us to cater to patients of all skin types, including those considered difficult to treat such as sensitive and darker skin types.
Cutera® Laser Hair Reduction
Cutera Laser hair removal works by using 1064 Nd:Yag laser technology to damage hair bulbs thus disabling hair growth. The built-in cooling design also helps to enhance patient comfort. Suitable for patients with darker skin types. Cutera Laser hair removal treatment cools and soothes as the handpiece glides along the skin. When the pulse of light is delivered, the laser light is absorbed by melanin, which is the target in the hair. The light is then converted to heat and the heat damages the bulge and bulb, disabling the hair structure.
IPL Hair Removal
Cutera IPL hair removal works by delivering a specially designed wavelength that is absorbed by the pigments in the hair bulb, which disables the growth of the hair follicles. Suitable for fair skin. ProWave treatments work by using infrared light to disable the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.
SHR Hair Removal
SHR, which stands for “Super Hair Removal”, is a light technology that provides safe, faste, and pain-free hair reduction treatment. It is neither a laser nor an IPL (intense pulsed light) procedure, but a relatively newer technology that uses lower and gentler pulses of energy at a higher frequency. Super Hair Removal is a method developed by Alma Lasers, a global innovator of energy-based solutions for the medical and aesthetics market. This technology is ideal for all skin and hair types, especially Asian ones. It uses 50% of the energy to target the pigment and the other 50% to target the stem cells responsible for hair growth.
LHE™ Hair Reduction
LHE (Light and Heat Energy) hair removal offers safe permanent hair reduction using a combination of light and heat that results in the destruction of hair follicles without damaging the skin. Particularly suitable for sensitive skin. LHE® targets melanin in the hair shaft then converts light to heat inside the follicle. This enables the use of lower fluence (light energy) levels and increases the safety margin, especially for darker and more sensitive skin types. This unique light and heat combination maximizes the effect on the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
Our hair removal systems have undergone rigorous clinical evaluations and US FDA approval which gives us, and our patients, assurance that it is safe to use. The actual device used will depend on your skin type and will be discussed during the consultation.
