IPL vs Laser: Which is better?

What do we want?

Efficient, effective and safe hair removal.

When do we want it?

Now.At the forefront of a saturated market of hair removal options sits Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) handheld devices versus Laser Hair Removal treatments. The main difference between these processes consists of IPL handheld devices allowing you to remove hair from the convenience of your home at a reduced cost – but at what cost?

IPL handheld devices are a short term method of removing hair. However as IPLs use intense pulsed light as opposed to a singular laser beam used in laser hair removal, the strength of the light and the effectiveness of the hair removal results from the IPL handheld device is often diminished which will require you to undertake more sessions. With most IPL handheld devices, results last up to a week, where you’re required to repeat the sessions once a week for the first 3 months.

In contrast, Laser Hair Removal relies on a concentrated laser beam being targeted at a single hair follicle, effectively destroying that follicle without damaging the skin and tissue around it. In as little as 6 to 10 laser hair treatments done 4-6 weeks apart, there is a 85-99% rate of hair reduction. Laser Hair Removal sessions can take from as little as 5 minutes to just an hour and are performed by clinical therapists who use medical grade Candela technology.

Which hair removal method is best for hard to reach areas?

With Laser Hair Removal, the use of Candela Gentlelase Pro and GentleYag Pro technology allows the safe and efficient hair removal from any skin tone as well as most body parts: legs, arms, back – you name it.

Unfortunately, the IPL handheld device is difficult to use by yourself on areas such as your back as well as not being suitable for use on dark skin tones.

What methods of aftercare are there?

Whilst IPL handheld devices are easily sourced from online sites, there is little to no aftercare and support in the scenario of an adverse reaction.

However with the laser hair removal process, the treatment process doesn’t just end once the laser hair removal session is over. Whether you’re seeking to laser for the first time you’re welcomed by a free consultation  with a clinical therapist prior to your treatment session to aftercare support as well as access to the Results Active Recovery Gel which is a MUST HAVE post treatment. The recovery gel is essential in soothing your skin after laser as it contains aloe vera and polysaccharide.

INVEST IN YOUR CONFIDENCE – Cellulite Reduction does it really work?

For some, Summer can be daunting when it comes to our body confidence. Despite how much we hit the gym, eat healthy or trial every juice cleanse – sadly, almost no one is immune to the curse that is cellulite!

Whilst we embrace different shapes and sizes, cellulite is known to cause body woes and particularly challenging to remove. Results Laser Clinic have accepted this challenge after the founder & owner famously hopped on a plane to Israel to trial Pollogen’s TriLipo Radio Frequency technology. Clinically proven in 60 countries, Pollogen TriLipo Radio Frequency technology uses non surgical techniques to effectively reduce the appearance of stubborn cellulite. Say what!?

Invest in your confidence
Using Pollogen’s TriLipo Radio Frequency technology, our Cellulite Reduction treatments are safe, non-invasive, fast, effective and suitable for ALL skin types. Minimal downtime is experienced – meaning there is little interference with your daily routine and more time to strut your stuff.

This month, Results Laser Clinic have tailored summer MUST HAVE Cellulite Reduction treatments leaving you with the confidence you have always dreamed of. But what is cellulite and how does cellulite reduction work?

The Curse of Cellulite
Cellulite is the dimpled or lumpy appearance of the skin that commonly appears on the buttocks, stomach and thighs. The ‘cottage cheese-like’ dimples are caused by accumulated fat deposits which push or distort the connective tissues under the skin in both men and women.

Lift. Tone. Shape and Repeat
It is possible to reduce cellulite and smoothen the appearance of the skin with Trilipo Radio Frequency for a beach ready bod!
Stage 1 | Lift
Using a special 3 pronged hand-piece, targeted fat cells are heated using Radio Frequency, releasing the fat. Pressure and a gentle massage is applied to priority areas to strengthen and stimulate blood flow to the area, which also regenerates collagen fibres.

Stage 2 | Tone
Your body will now naturally metabolise and remove the released fat via the lymphatic drainage system. Immediately after or within 2 hours post treatment, it is a MUST to factor in a minimum of 20 minutes cardio exercise to aid the removal of the released fat. It is also important to remain hydrated and protect your skin from sun exposure with a high quality sunscreen – our Sun Recovery Essentials Kit @ $49 is perfect post-treatment. This includes an Active Recovery Gel to reduce the redness PLUS an Active Protect SPF 50+ for extra protection from the sun. Read more about these 2 MUST HAVE products for Summer!

Stage 3 | Shape
The reduction in the volume of fat cells encourages the targeted area to smooth out – whilst the strengthened collagen fibres tightens and lifts the skin. Leaving you with the confidence you have always yearned for!

Stage 4 | Repeat
For maximum results, we recommend 6 to 10 treatments at weekly to fortnightly intervals. This should be combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

World class Laser Hair Removal for Men and Women, the perfect trendy date.

Couples that laser together stay together, has become a new trend, thanks to the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West over the past 2 years.

We all know regular grooming helps your outward appearance and your self confidence.  When you look good, you feel good, so why wouldn’t you want to stay young and smooth together with Laser Hair Removal at Australia’s most trusted skin and laser clinic – Results Laser Clinic.

In the past, women have normally been the ones to want hair removal for their legs, underarms and Brazilians, but now we are seeing a rise in the number of men wanting to be hair free too! Whether it’s the back, chest or even cheeks, men are stepping up their metro-sexual game and becoming silky smooth too.

What sets our treatments aside from beauty salons, is that at Results Laser Clinic we provide a pain free hair removal treatment, for both men and women, for both dark and light skin, that have instant results using medical grade laser hair removal technologies.  Our lasers emit a light that is absorbed by the colour (melanin) in your hair. The light generates heat that travels down the hair shaft to the hair follicle under the skin, permanently disabling its ability to regrow and leaving you one step closer to be hair free in all the right places.

In as little as 6 – 10 treatments, you can remove up to 99% of unwanted hair and you can be sexy and smooth laser lovers for summer!

Quick, safe, reliable and affordable, you can now book in your couples laser date.  Visit www.resultslaserclinic.com.au or call 02 9893 8883 to connect with one of our clinics in your area and get ready for summer.
