Beware of Clinics Offering ‘Absolute’ Permanent Hair Removal. Sydney Clinic, Laser By Sia, Offers The Truth.
As much as it would be great to promise ‘gone for all time’ permanent hair removal, Sydney clinics offering ‘absolute’ removal have it a little wrong.
Ok, up to 90% is pretty close, and that’s the mark we usually achieve, but permanent hair removal clinics that achieve ‘absolute’ results? Sorry, no.
The Type of Laser Is Critical To The Result
Note: As most people think of ‘permanent hair removal’ rather than simply a laser hair treatment (Australia has laws on accuracy) we will refer to our methods in that way.
An authentic laser sends out a light of a single wavelength. Different structures respond to different wavelengths. A laser that produces the particular wavelength that is best absorbed by melanin (melanin gives your hair and skin its colour) in the hair shaft will safely achieve ‘ permanent’ cosmetic results.
To achieve the desired result without damaging the melanin in the surrounding skin or structures requires a laser with this absolute accuracy.
The critical point of difference between authentic lasers and IPL (Intense Pulse Light) comes in the difference in the make-up of the light emitted. IPL utilises a light of many colours. Because of this it is far less accurate. A permanent hair removal clinic using this technology will find it much more difficult to achieve the desired results, and the risk of complications is greatly increased.
What Do Our ‘Permanent’ Hair Removal Methods Achieve?
We employ only state-of-the-art Alexandrite lasers achieving absolute accuracy and exceptional results with minimal side effects.
After the first treatment you will notice a dramatically significant difference, but it will take about 8 to10 permanent hair removal treatments to achieve a 70-90% reduction. The hair will be gone for a long period of time. After that some hair, which will be much finer and lighter, will slowly start to appear and a maintenance session will be required.
It depends very much on the area which has been treated and on the individual themselves how often maintenance is needed. You can expect an average of about one year. This may be less or you may go longer before more laser hair removal. Sydney beauty clinics should be able to give you accurate advice for your skin type.
When claiming permanent laser hair removal, Sydney companies – morally – must always be up front. Laser by Sia believe we are – and believe we offer the closest possible result to permanent.
