The growing demand for laser hair removal treatments is undeniable. What started off as a new procedure for people removing unwanted body hair for a summer vacation, has since become an all-year favourite. Regardless of gender, laser hair removal treatment is undoubtedly the most sought-out laser procedure and will expand your treatment menu and help create a stable revenue stream.
Laser hair removal has revolutionised the way we approach hair removal, offering a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair. Unlike temporary methods such as shaving, waxing, or plucking, laser targets the follicles directly, providing a more effective and efficient solution.
By emitting concentrated beams of light into the follicles, laser removal treatments effectively disrupt hair growth while minimising damage to the surrounding skin. This procedure has gained popularity due to its ability to deliver long-lasting results and significantly reduce hair regrowth.
MedioStar Laser Hair Removal
One advanced laser system that has made a significant impact in the field of hair removal is The MedioStar. The MedioStar laser, developed by Asclepion, combines cutting-edge technology with innovative features to provide safe and efficient hair removal treatments. This state-of-the-art device utilises diode technology, which emits a specific wavelength of light that is selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair.
As a result, The MedioStar laser can precisely target and disable follicles, inhibiting their ability to produce new hair growth. With its intuitive user interface and advanced functionalities, The MedioStar offers optimal control and protection throughout the treatment process, making it a popular choice among professionals and clients alike.
What to expect with Laser Hair Removal Treatment
How It Works:
A laser device emits light flashes onto the unwanted hair. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light’s energy and is converted to heat. This results in damaged follicles and delays future hair growth.
However, hair grows in different phases and at different rates, which means that multiple treatments are needed to effectively treat all hair at the right growth stage. After 6-10 sessions per area, about 90% hair reduction is achieved.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal:
Compared to traditional hair removal methods, laser removal offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it provides long-lasting results by targeting the deeply embedded hair follicles directly, which significantly reduces the rate of hair regrowth. Unlike shaving or waxing, where hair regrowth can occur within days or weeks, laser hair removal treatments can provide weeks or even months of smooth skin.
Additionally, laser hair removal is a precise method that can selectively target specific areas without affecting the surrounding skin. This precision minimises the risk of skin irritation and ingrown hairs commonly associated with other methods. Furthermore, laser removal saves time and effort in the long run, as it eliminates the need for frequent hair removal maintenance, such as daily shaving or regular salon visits for waxing.
Is Laser Treatment Permanent Hair Removal?
While laser hair removal treatments are often referred to as permanent hair reduction, it’s important to understand the distinction between permanent hair removal and hair reduction. Permanent hair removal refers to the complete eradication of all hair in a treated area, ensuring no future hair growth.
On the other hand, permanent hair reduction, which laser removal achieves, refers to a significant and long-lasting reduction in hair density and thickness. While some hair follicles may be completely eliminated, a few hair follicles may become dormant or produce finer, lighter hair. Consequently, maintenance sessions may be required periodically to target any regrowth.
Nonetheless, laser treatment with The MedioStar can deliver substantial and satisfying results, making it a highly sought-after solution for effective hair removal.
Pre & Post Patient Care:
To avoid unwanted problems during sessions, the desired treatment area needs to be shaved at least 24 hours before treatment. Additionally, waxing, plucking, as well as tanning should be avoided for a couple of weeks leading up to the appointment. Redness might occur after treatment so it’s important that patients regularly moisturise the treated areas.
Hot showers, baths, and saunas should be avoided and the skin needs to be protected by keeping it out of the sunlight and by using SPF 30+ sunscreen between scheduled treatments and a couple of weeks after the last appointment.
Treatment Areas:
While both women and men regularly get laser hair removal treatment, the areas that are most popular between them differ. Underarms, bikini lines and legs are most commonly treated on women. Men, however, usually seek treatment to remove hair on their backs and necks. Nonetheless, laser hair removal can be used on all areas of the body and can therefore be customised to your client’s wants and needs.
Results:
Noticeable improvements, such as a decrease in the amount of hair, hair thickness and hair density will be visible after just one session. Additionally, rashes, ingrown hair and stubbles are less likely to occur. To achieve long-lasting results, multiple treatments as well as one or two maintenance sessions a year should be able to ensure the desired permanent results.
Safety and Efficacy of The MedioStar Laser
Safety Measures for Optimal Protection:
When it comes to laser hair removal, safety is of utmost importance. The MedioStar laser is equipped with advanced safety features to ensure optimal protection during treatments. One notable safety measure is the integration of a highly advanced skin cooling system. This cooling system works by emitting a burst of cold air onto the treatment area just before the laser pulse is delivered.
In addition to the cooling system, The MedioStar incorporates a built-in skin type analysis feature. This feature allows the practitioner to assess the client’s skin type and adjust the laser settings accordingly.
By customising the treatment parameters to suit individual skin characteristics, The MedioStar ensures a safer and more effective experience for clients of all skin types.
The Highly Efficient Cooling System and its Benefits:
The cooling system integrated into The MedioStar plays a pivotal role in ensuring both safety and efficacy during hair removal treatments. By rapidly cooling the treatment area, it provides a numbing effect that helps to minimise any discomfort or pain experienced by the client.
This cooling effect also protects the surrounding skin from potential heat damage, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Additionally, the cooling system enhances the precision of the laser by reducing the scattering of light energy in the skin. This allows for a more targeted delivery of energy to the follicles, maximising the efficacy of the treatment.
The benefits of the cooling system extend beyond the treatment itself. The cooling system helps to soothe the skin immediately after each laser pulse, providing instant relief. This means that clients can resume their daily activities without any downtime or discomfort. The cooling system’s ability to maintain optimal skin temperature throughout the treatment also promotes a more consistent and predictable response from the hair, leading to better results in the long run.
Safe Treatment for All Clients, Including Those with Dark Skin Types:
One of the challenges in laser hair removal is ensuring safe and effective treatment for clients with darker skin tones. Darker skin contains higher levels of melanin, which can absorb more laser energy and increase the risk of complications, such as burns or pigmentation changes. However, The MedioStar laser is designed to address these concerns and accommodate a wide range of skin types.
The MedioStar incorporates advanced technology that allows for precise customisation of laser parameters based on the client’s skin type and hair color. By carefully adjusting the energy level and pulse duration, The MedioStar can deliver effective treatment while minimising the risk of adverse reactions for clients with darker skin.
This personalised approach ensures that all clients, regardless of their skin tone, can benefit from the advantages of laser hair removal with The MedioStar.
Furthermore, the MedioStar laser’s diode technology, coupled with its highly efficient cooling system, provides an added layer of safety when treating clients with dark skin. The diode technology delivers targeted energy to the follicles, bypassing the surrounding skin, reducing the risk of overheating or damage. The integrated cooling system helps to further protect the skin by keeping it at an optimal temperature, preventing any excessive absorption of laser energy.
