| Expensive and ineffective treatments | Treatments are competitively priced and results are visible after the first treatment. |
| Underqualified technicians | The Clinic undergoes intensive training programs and employs technicians with hair removal experience. |
| Bruising and swelling | FDA medically approved technology and qualified laser technicians ensure this is a rarity. |
| Lengthy treatment time | Qualified therapists provide efficient laser treatments |

Save time researching and choose Results Laser Clinic Warren invested thousands of dollars in excess of ten laser treatments towards “permanent hair reduction.” The technologies used throughout some Sydney Clinics Warren visited resulted in thousands of lost dollars and skin discoloration and NO RESULTS. After consulting with Results Laser Clinic’s experienced technicians, Warren wisely invested his money and has had noticeably visible results after just two treatments.

Typical Hair Removal Treatments

Hair Removal
Hair removal overcomes the problem of unwanted hair that is common amongst both men and women. In many cases, excess body or facial hair can be the result of hereditary factors, running through generations. Hair removal treatments also combat the experience of unwanted or excess hair, a condition that worsens with age, pregnancy or menopause.
Hair does not come in any one size or type as follicles in different parts of the body produce differing types of hair. As a result, hair may grow in thick, bushy patches in some parts of the body or long thin strands. Furthermore, hair is produced in follicles that can be found at different depths and densities, each of which may be growing in one of three stages of growth at any given time. Until recently, this great variety in hair types and body locations made long-lasting hair removal a significant challenge.
Typical Hair Removal Treatments
Hair removal by tweezing and shaving
The drawbacks of this Typical Hair removal treatments approach include both being painful and time-consuming. Plucking is only a short-term hair removal solution as the hair invariably grows back and shaving is an ultimately ineffective way to permanently rid oneself of excess hair.
Hair removal creams
Messy chemical depilatory creams can cause redness and irritation, the Hair removal having no permanent effect on unwanted hair. Prescription creams often provide good results, but they must be used at least twice per day, and never provide a permanent hair removal solution.
Waxing is quite popular, especially among women for Hair removal . This painful method only provides hair-free results for two to four weeks and can cause skin irritation and ingrown hairs.

At Results Laser Clinic, we believe that Candelas’ GentleYAG laser provides the safest and most effective treatment for laser hair removal, particularly for darker skin types.It is among the world’s top two medical-grade technologies, with specifications and further reading on the GentleYAG below.
The Alexandrite GentleYAG system is one of Candela’s premier lasers for removing hair. GentleYAG is a revolutionary long-pulse high energy laser which emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.
The GentleYAG treats all skin types quickly, comfortably and effectively. The Candela family of lasers are fast, versatile and easy to use. The skin is further protected during treatment by a Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD) where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort. The GentleYAG selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair.

Real Results to Treat Unwanted Hair with Laser Hair Removal Treatment
New Treatment Options: Laser Gentle Lase PRO, Gentle Lase YAG and GMAX PRO
Laser Hair Removal Treatment is innovative, light-based devices have revolutionised the treatment of unwanted hair, offering gentle, effective and convenient solutions for both men and women. Both the Gentle Lase PRO, Gentle Lase YAG and GMAX PRO use targeted flashes of light to block the regrowth potential of the hair follicle. These treatments do not damage surrounding tissue and each device targets numerous hair follicles simultaneously, allowing for the treatment of large areas quickly and effectively.
What to Expect
The length of an individual laser hair removal treatment may last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to specific kinds of hair and skin. It is important to understand that hairs in an active growth phase (anagen) are most affected by treatments. Since all hairs are not in this phase at the same time, several treatments are necessary to achieve the best results. Our consultants design customised treatment programs and give patients an estimate of how many sessions may be needed in order to meet expectations.
The laser hair removal treatment may cause some minor discomfort — patients often describe it as a slight tingling or compare it to a pinch or the sting of a snapped rubber band. Most patients tolerate the procedure well whilst topical anesthesia is rarely required, but may be an option when treating more sensitive areas.
Immediately following a treatment session, the appearance of the treated area will vary from patient to patient, though side effects are rare. Any swelling or redness after laser hair removal treatment typically go away within a couple hours, and most people are able to return to normal activity immediately. Better yet, many of the unwanted hairs are gone at the end of the treatment.
