Unwanted hair can be frustrating and time-consuming to manage. From shaving and waxing to threading and plucking, traditional hair removal methods are often painful, temporary and require constant upkeep. At The Skin Health Clinic in Newry, we offer advanced, professional Laser Hair Removal treatments for a range of areas such as legs, underarms, bikini and face that help you achieve superior long-term results so you can feel confident in your skin every day.
Laser Hair Removal is a medical-grade treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to target and destroy hair follicles and significantly reduce hair growth over time. It is one of the most effective and long-term hair removal methods.
There is a lot to consider before booking your Laser Hair Removal consultation, including what clinic to go to, what to expect, what the pros and cons are, and whether this is ultimately the right treatment for you.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
There are many methods of hair removal such as waxing, threading, shaving and tweezing, however, laser hair removal is one of the most permanent methods of long-term hair removal.
We are proud to offer Inmode Diolaze XL, an FDA-approved treatment that is the gold standard in laser hair removal. Using a cutting-edge diode laser, Diolaze XL uses laser energy that combines efficiency, speed and comfort to remove unwanted hair and inhibit future growth. This treatment uses a handheld device for ultimate client comfort, and its built-in cooling system means we can cover large areas quickly with ease.
Is Laser Hair Removal painful?
One of our frequently asked questions is whether Laser Hair Removal is a painful procedure, and what level of pain to expect during and after the session. Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most clients find Laser Hair Removal to be very manageable. Luckily, the Diolaze XL system is designed with a 3 point cooling system that enhances client safety and minimises discomfort, meaning the treatment is exceptionally comfortable for all clients.
Laser Hair Removal isn’t a one-off treatment. We recommend an average of 6 to 8 laser sessions, each spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. The exact number of treatments required will depend on your hair type, colour and treatment area, but you can expect to become more comfortable with the process over time when you understand what to expect – this often lessens pain perceptions for clients.
Any discomfort you do experience during the session should subside quickly, meaning there is little to no pain post-treatment.
What is the difference between IPL and Laser Hair Removal?
We often receive questions about the difference between IPL and Laser Hair Removal treatments. Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL) reduces and eliminates hyperpigmentation and vascularity in the skin, whereas Laser Hair Removal using Diolaze XL uses diode laser technology to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin.
Both treatments are a great solution for a range of skin concerns and issues, but the main factor to consider is: what do you want to achieve from the laser treatment? If you are hoping to achieve hair-free skin, then Diolaze XL is a great option. On the other hand, if you want to eliminate pigmentation, redness and veins, Lumecca IPL will help you achieve visible results after just one or two sessions.
