Press Release Summary: One of the most common treatments in cosmetic clinics and
certain beauty salons is laser hair removal. On reading the forums it is obvious the
success of this form of treatment varies greatly. How can this be?

Press Release Body: The answers are complex- it maybe the laser system used, the
systems can range from IPL, single wavelength or radio frequency systems.
Intense pulse light laser system deliver a range of wave lengths to the skin to put
it simply, think of Intense Pulse Light as generalised cluster bombs hitting the
skin, these systems are commonly used in beauty salons.

The singe wavelength systems, deliver a single wavelength of light to the skin
…think of these systems as smart precision bombs hitting the skin, delivering
precise single wavelengths to the skin. Examples of these lasers are Lghtsheer
Diodie (810nm wavelength) Laserscope Lyra (1064nm wavelength) and Alexandrite
laser (755nm wavelength).

Radio frequency systems, use radio waves with the Intense Pulse Light technology,
example of these systems are the syneron laser systems.
All these systems have certain advantages and disadvantages, they can treat only
certain skin types, treat certain colours of hair and their efficiency varies.

Like mobile phones and television sets every year, new laser technology is evolving
which purports to give an edge to its predecessors, with respect to laser hair
removal.

The cost of these laser hair removal systems can vary from £10, 000- £80, 000! In
my opinion as there has been no real head to head clinical trials between the
systems, one must rely on the original gold standard the Lightsheer diode laser,
which has stood the test of time, delivering speedy treatments and excellent
results. Interestingly the Laserscope Lyra Laser system results are compatible to
the Lightsheer system.

In summary, if the clinic has a decent laser system, and selects to treat clientelle
with the appropriate type of hair and colour its technology can treat and use
pre-treatment topical anaesthetic followed by ice packs to give post treatment pain
relief.

There is then no reason why exceptional results cannot be obtained with minimal
discomfort.
