IPL vs Laser: Which is better?

Just a click away, which is better IPL vs Laser? At home hair removal devices or laser hair removal sessions at your local clinic? Let’s find out!

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.

 

Efficient, effective and safe hair removal.

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- IPL vs Laser?

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!

Summer’s coming, how do we feel about our stretchmarks?

Its official – Skin blemishes are a confidence crusher^**

Stretchmarks can be a contributing factor in post-natal depression, at the very least many plan their wardrobe around covering them up.

---

Stretchmarks can happen to anyone

Stretchmarks can arrive with pregnancy, weight-gain, growth spurts, illness or steroid use. They can be accompanied by a feeling that appearance has been compromised and blown out of proportion by  ‘cognitive distortion’ which is when the brain over-rides judgment, common sense making it appear worse than it really is!

A problem shared

There are powerful and inspiring #bodypositivemovements, which are helping to reduce the feeling of social isolation for those traumatised by the change in their bodies but there are some who will always find action more empowering than acceptance. That’s where Fractional RF Laser comes in.

 

Does it work?

Fractional RF Laser has been around since 2004 & is most effective for treatment of stretchmarks. It has been shown to have 50-75% improvement in appearance of stretch marks, after 6-10 treatments^***.Actual results which have been achieved are shared below.

What is Fractional RF Laser?

A grid of micro-needles, penetrate the skin & heat the targeted area with radio frequency (RF) energy. This creates micro-wounds that stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encourage collagen production & regenerate healthy skin tissue. Treatment leaves behind a signature grid pattern of tiny marks which will heal over the next 7-10 days, and fade in around 2 weeks. Fractional RF Laser is often followed by a session of advanced LED light therapy to assist with healing & stimulating collagen production.

 

How much does it cost?

Treatment costs around $400 for an area approximately the size of an iphone.

Does it hurt?

It’s tolerable but the pain factor is worth it for the results!

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!
