earthspa is proud to offer you IPL with Radio Frequency for PAINFREE Permanent Hair Removal from Cosmedico Medical Systems using their skinPULSE 900 RF machine. This device gives you one of the lastest generations of IPL machines – a safe technology for permanent hair removal and guarantees the greatest possible success with your treatment.
Hair looks great in the right place. Unwanted hair on the under arm, bikini line, back, chest, stomach and intimate areas or on the legs and feet can be removed safely, gently and permanently. Being hair free can give you the smooth look you have always wanted – and the added confidence to go with it!
How does IPL work?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This treatment involves shooting light pulses on the part of the body to be depilated using a wavelength spectrum matched to your skin and hair type. The light energy is immediately converted into heat by the melanin (pigment) in the hair. This is channelled along the shaft of the hair down to the root and the underlying germ cells. The thermal reaction here causes irreversible damage to the nutrient cells of the hair root – which is now unable to produce any more hairs.
What happens during a treatment?
The treatment commences with a consultation. The area for treatment is then cleaned and marked-up. An ultra sound gel is applied to the skin to act as a conductor for the light and keep the skin cool during the procedure. You will be required to wear goggles to protect your eyes. Your therapist will perform the treatment using a hand-held laser device and will aim to create a PAINFREE experience by adjusting the machine settings to your individual requirement. Some redness or swelling is normal after treatment and aloe vera gel is applied to the area to soothe the skin.
Is it painful?
Removing hair has a reputation for being painful due to associations with waxing treatments or older models of laser machines. The skinPULSE 900/RF technology offers both IPL and RF treatment options allowing your therapist to create a PAINFREE experience for you by adjusting the settings to suit your individual requirements. The added advantage is that the treatment is equally effective operating in either IPL or RF mode.
How many treatments are required?
At your consultation you will be advised how many treatments are required. In general 6-8 treatments are required for effective permanent removal of hair. However, everyone is different and the number of treatments required depends on the area being treated and the individual’s skin and hair type.
How often do you have to come back for treatments?
Treatments are conducted on a 4-6 week basis. To guarantee successful permanent hair removal it is essential that you follow the treatment programme, attend all the appointments at regular intervals and complete the course of treatments.
