Laser Hair Removal |
Beautiful Spirit Clinic & Spa are pleased
to offer 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. |
How is
the treatment carried out?
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. |
 |
Does the
Client need to shave before the treatment?
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 I.P.L treatment. |
Why do
hairs "grow" after 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. |
How can
you tell if the treatment has worked if the hairs are not removed
immediately?
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.

How many
treatments are necessary?
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. |
Polycistic
Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
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. |
Transgender
At Beautiful Spirit we recognise
the needs of our transgender clients are very special. We know
that not having to shave or worry about the inevitable 6 o'clock
shadow will have a positive effect on your self confidence and
therefore quality of life. Book a consultation to discuss the
prospect of having a hair free, smooth complexion and removing
the worry of practical day to day difficulties caused by facial
and body hair. |
