Laser
treatments work by applying intense
heat or light to vaporise hair follicles or skin
tissue and reduce the appearance of unwanted hair,
wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and blemishes.
The procedure is relatively painless. There are several
different types of laser methods used by the Ailesbury
Clinc, including the new Aurora IPL Laser recently
seen on TV3-Ireland AM: The Syneron Aurora is most often used for blonde or grey hair whereas the Lumenis Quantum is used for darker hair.
Aurora IPL Lasers
The Aurora IPL Laser uses gentle light
and electric energies to damage the hair follicle. This
disables the follicle from growing hair, which means
that gradually over several treatments, there is a permanent
reduction in the amount of hair in that area. It has difficulty with some blonde hair, especially in post-menopausal women. There are many advances in
this technology that make it one of the safest hair removal
systems available for all skin colours.
What kind of results can I expect from Aurora treatment?
Each Aurora treatment will result
in less hair coming back, as well as hair growing
progressively lighter in color, finer, and slower-growing
with each treatment. It takes more than 1 treatment
to affect all the follicles growing in an area.
Most people achieve satisfactory clearance after
4-8 treatments, but individual results vary depending
on medical and genetic factors. Lighter colored
hair may require more treatments than darker colored
hair.
How frequently do I need treatments?
The treatments are usually performed every 3-4 weeks, but this depends on individual factors that
your Aurora clinician will discuss with you during consultation. If hte hair has not gone after 6-8 treatments, the Ailesbury Clinic reduces payment to 50%.
Does the treatment hurt?
The sensation if often described as “hot
pinch”, or “snapping” feeling. The sensation
only lasts for fraction of a second, and you may feel warmth
or tingling sensation for a short time afterward. Most
people tolerate treatment without any topical anesthetic,
which numbs the skin from feeling sensation.
What happens after each treatment?
Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts a
very short time, and most people return to work or normal
activities immediately after treatment. The treated area
will “shed” some hairs over the next 3-4 weeks,
and you may experience a period of hairlessness in the
area while you wait for you next treatment.
Who should
get Aurora treatment for Hair Removal?
Anyone who wants a permanent solution
to shaving, waxing, plucking, or electrolysis.
There are a few medical conditions thatcontraindicate
people from treatment which will be discussed
with your Aurora clinician during consultation.
