Laser Hair Removal.
At SKINN KIND we use a Tri-wave laser hair removal system, which uses a combination of three laser wavelengths to target hair follicles at different depths for effective removal across various skin and hair types.
The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which converts the light energy into heat to destroy the follicle and prevent future regrowth. The technology includes a cooling tip to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
HOW IT WORKS…
The device combines three laser wavelengths to simultaneously target hair follicles at different depths.
755nm: Best for fine, light hair and lighter skin types due to its high melanin absorption.
808nm: Penetrates deep into the dermis, making it suitable for all skin types and ideal for treating areas with high hair density.
1064nm: Best for dark hair on darker skin types as it has low melanin absorption and can safely target deep follicles.
Heat & disruption.
The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and follicle. This converts the light energy into heat, which destroys the hair follicle and the stem cells responsible for hair reproduction.
Cooling technology.
A sapphire cooling tip on the applicator cools the skin’s surface during treatment, making the process virtually pain-free and protecting the surrounding skin.
Permanent reduction.
By damaging the follicle and the blood vessels that nourish it, the treatment leads to permanent hair reduction, not just temporary removal.
Procedure.
A series of 8-10 treatments is recommended to achieve optimal, long-lasting results, with the total number depending on the area being treated and individual hair growth cycles.
To maintain results, periodic top up treatments may be required due to factors such as your hair growth cycle or hormones.
Side Effects.
Most side effects are mild and temporary including redness, swelling, slight irritation in the treated area. These usually subside within a few hours or few days.
Before your treatment.
Avoid sun exposure & tanning for at least 2 weeks.
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment.
Do not wax, pluck or use hair removal creams for at least 4 weeks, ideally 6 weeks, prior to treatment.
After your treatment.
Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks and apply a sunscreen with a high SPF on treated areas.
Avoid hot showers, saunas & strenuous exercise for 24-48hrs.
