Beautiful Spirit Clinic & Spa have 2 medical lasers for our laser hair removal.
The Soprano XL system, a revolutionary new method for permanent hair removal that is virtually pain free! That’s what patients report, time and time again after being treated with the SopranoXL in SHR mode. This revolutionary new module provides effective laser hair removal because it safely and gently heats the dermis to a temperature that damages the hair follicle and prevents re-growth. The SHR protects the epidermis, and no analgesics are required. SopranoXL SHR works in motion, with a sweeping technique that eliminates a common problem of missed or skipped spots. The comprehensive coverage means smooth legs, arms, backs and stomachs for your patients without the pain. In fact, patients have even compared the SHR experience to a hot stone massage.
The treatment area is first shaved, then a cool gel is applied. The glass applicator is placed in contact with the surface and the light is pulsed through it onto the skin. Dark hairs are most easily treated due to the high concentration of melanin that gives maximum absorption and conversion into heat. The upper skin layer of the epidermis also contains melanin and the concentration increases when the skin is exposed to UV light. It is therefore necessary to treat the dark skinned individuals with less energy to avoid generation of excess heat.
Long hairs take up the energy and prevent all of it reaching the hair root. Therefore, hair is trimmed just before for maximum transmission of energy. Plucking and bleaching should not be done; other forms of epilation eg waxing, should be avoided for 4 weeks before treatment; this ensures as many follicles as possible contain hair that can be destroyed by the light. In-growing hairs respond very well to intense pulse light (I.P.L) treatment.
Unlike other light depletion treatments, hairs are not vaporised by the Superior Pro™ IPL treatment system. The heat kills the hair roots but the hairs remain in the skin and often become attached to the epidermis. They will fall out after 1 to 3 weeks as the epidermis renews itself. During this period it will seem that the hairs are growing a little faster as the epidermis pushes them out.
Various indications such as colour of hair becoming darker and expanding in size, or a red ring around each follicle, is often seen a few minutes after the treatment. These are good indications that sufficient heating of the follicles has taken place. Unfortunately, this is not always seen and many clients have successful treatment results without the post treatment signs.
Only hair in the growth phase can be treated. The number of hairs in this phase varies from 20% to 90% depending on the body site. The lengths of the growth cycles also vary from 2 to 24 weeks depending on the body site. For most clients 6 to 12 treatments are sufficient to clear an area of hair. After the first treatment most clients get significant reduction in hair density also new grown hairs tend to become finer. It is important to know that the first treatment is believed to synchronise the anagen (growth phase) of the non anagen hairs. This may cause what seems to be re growth but actually just sleeping hairs starting to grow at the same time (new growth) This in turn makes the next treatments more effective. You will start seeing noticeable results even from the second session.
Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) affect around one in five women during their lives. Approximately three quarters of these women will experience symptoms of PCOS. One of these symptoms can be unwanted facial and or body hair. We know this can have physical, social and pyschological repercussions and offer a sympathetic consultation to advise on possible treatment.
