The practice uses intense pulsed light (IPL) and several lasers. Each technology has its own indications: the choice is made during the visit, based on the problem to be treated and the skin type.
Intense pulsed light (IPL)
Pulsed light grew out of laser technology. A microcomputer controls the emission of light with preset parameters, which penetrates to a depth of 3-4 mm. Besides hair removal, it is used for acne, couperose and photorejuvenation.
Hair removal with pulsed light
The melanin in the hair absorbs the light energy, and the resulting heat damages the bulb. The effect is selective: it involves only pigmented tissue and the surrounding skin is left unharmed. Any moles are protected with a white dermographic pencil, a plaster or a mechanical shield.
The handpiece, much larger than that of the laser, makes it possible to treat large areas quickly. All areas of the body can be treated, in women and men, and results are faster the greater the contrast between light skin and dark hair. During the session you feel at most a sensation like a light snap of a rubber band. Suitable equipment and specific professional training are required.
ND YAG laser
It is a high-penetration vascular laser, used for capillaries and telangiectasia, especially on the lower limbs. The energy closes the capillary without damaging the skin, and it can also be used for laser hair removal. Find out about the ND YAG laser.
CO₂ laser
The surgical CO₂ laser is used in outpatient procedures on small skin lesions, including in delicate areas such as the face. Find out about outpatient surgery.
