Laser Hair Removal

After the requisite number of treatments, permanent hair removal—depending on the area of treatment and patient’s circumstances—should actually be fairly permanent.

If you are planning to undergo laser hair removal, it is recommended that you limit waxing, plucking, and electrolysis for around 6 weeks prior to treatment. The reason for this is that the laser targets the roots of your hair, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.

We also recommend that you avoid sun exposure for 6 weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure will make laser hair removal less effective and makes complications after treatment more likely.

The iPulse is a non-invasive laser treatment that produces only the optimum spectrum of light for hair removal. This means you can experience a more comfortable and effective treatment.

The great thing about iPulse technology is that it targets the melanin in the hair follicle, so any hair containing this pigment can be treated. Your Ashbury Clinic doctor will assess your hair type and guide you on whether or not your hair is suitable for the iPulse treatment.
