Laser Hair Removal
HAIR FREE SKIN AT REFRESH MEDISPA
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth. It utilises concentrated beams of light to target hair follicles, inhibiting their ability to produce new hair. Suitable for almost any part of the body, common treatment areas include the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back.
About Laser Hair Removal
Refresh Medispa chooses Cynosure Elite for laser hair removal due to its advanced technology, versatility, efficiency, safety, and proven results. It offers customisable treatments for various skin types with minimal discomfort. Your practitioner then uses a handheld device to deliver pulses of laser energy to the targeted area. The laser light is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, generating heat that damages the follicles and prevents future hair growth.
Multiple treatment sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in cycles and the laser is most effective on actively growing hairs. Sessions are usually spaced several weeks apart to target hairs in different stages of the growth cycle.
Following each session, patients may experience some redness or swelling in the treated area, but these side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few hours to a few days. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and follow post-treatment care instructions to minimise the risk of complications and maximise results.
