Whether you opt for laser hair removal or IPL depends on skin type and and area of the body. At Beautylase, we work with Lynton Lasers who are leaders in the field of medical laser equipment. We use an IPL system that is both fast with the option to have large spot sizes adapted especially to cover larger areas such as legs and backs. We treat skin types I-IV.

Protecting the skin is essential to reduce any possible side effects. For sensitive areas, the skin is cooled prior to treatment. After the treatment, it is essential to wear an Spf on a daily basis for parts of the body that are exposed to sunlight.

How many treatments do I need?

The duration of a treatment and number of sessions required are individual to each person.

Number of treatments can range from 4 to 15 treatments in function of zones and hormonal makeup. These sessions are spread out in accordance to the hair growth cycle which can vary from one part of the body to another. An estimate of the number of sessions needed will be given by a specialist practitioner after a consultation and patch test.

The number of sessions required is determined by 2 factors: The area being treated and the strength of the treatment. Less sessions are necessary for under arms, bikini and ½ leg whilst normally more are required for facial hair, backs and thighs. Paler skin with darker hair will be the fastest to react.

An interval of between 3 to 4 weeks is required between the first and second and third session. Thereafter, the sessions are spaced according to the growth of the remaining hairs. Men’s hormonal makeup as well as a tendency for male hairs to be slightly deeper rooted may necessitate more visits than would be necessary to treat the same body part on a female.
