Have you had laser hair removal and the results were disappointing? Your choice of aesthetic clinic is probably the culprit. There are several laser technologies on the market and their performance varies depending on your skin and hair. How do you know if the technology used by your clinic is right for you? Check with your esthetician before starting a permanent hair removal treatment. Here are five questions to ask to find an aesthetic clinic that will meet your laser hair removal needs.
Your aesthetic clinic is likely to use two types of permanent hair removal technologies: laser and intense pulsed light (IPL). The main difference between these two hair removal technologies lies in the energy level of the light beams that target the hair. The laser uses a powerful beam of a single wavelength that specifically destroys the hair bulb. The heat emanating from the laser burns the base of the bulb that produces the hair. While for intense pulsed light (IPL), the lamp produces several wavelengths with lower energy. This broad-spectrum technology helps weaken the hair, but in the long term, remains less effective.
This is also why at ESME Esthétique, we only use laser technologies. Permanent hair removal offers amazing results. The laser can treat all classic hair removal areas including the legs, bikini line, armpits and face.
Your skin color and hair type will be determining factors in choosing your laser technology and therefore, the choice of your aesthetic clinic. ESME Esthétique offers you three safe and painless laser hair removal technologies.
Using laser technology that is tailored to your skin type, laser hair removal treatment typically requires 6 to 10 sessions. For best results, it is recommended to respect the interval of 4 to 8 weeks between sessions. Laser hair removal destroys the hair bulb to eliminate it. By intervening on a hair at the beginning of its life cycle, the results will be much more effective.
ESME Esthétique has the ideal laser technologies to treat tanned skin. You can therefore sunbathe between your sessions. However, it is recommended that you avoid the sun one week before each laser hair removal session. Also note that for your safety, we will adjust the parameters of our technology accordingly, which will slightly extend the duration of your treatment.
Some medications, including some available over the counter, can cause photosensitivity. This is a reaction that increases the sensitivity of your skin when exposed to the sun or ultraviolet light. Before starting laser hair removal treatment, ESME Esthétique ensures that you are not likely to develop this side effect. Our specialists will perform an initial test session to check your skin’s reactivity. If the results are conclusive, it will be possible to continue the treatment safely.
ESME Esthétique specializes in permanent hair removal and skin care and treatments. Their team is composed of the best fully qualified beauticians to offer you a personalized service adapted to your skin and your needs.
