Gentlelase laser hair removal and Intense Pulsed Light IPL hair removal treatments offered Sydney wide both emit light to cause thermal damage to the hair follicle. The technical differences between the technologies relate to the wavelength colours that are emitted with each laser pulse. The GentleLase laser hair removal system emits a single concentrated light beam and the Palmar Starlux / Multilux IPL hair removal System includes a variety of coloured wavelengths that work simultaneously to target the specific area being treated.
Based on our experience in using both technologies, the Gentlelase laser technology operates at the optimal wavelength of light that is best absorbed by both the hair shaft and follicle while protecting the surface skin from heat damage. The Gentlelase has been shown to be a more successful laser hair removal method for permanent reduction of unwanted, unsightly hair. Unlike other hair removal tools, the Gentlelase laser system incorporates state of the art dynamic cooling device technology where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin, continuously cooling the skin during treatment. This proprietary feature helps to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment and decrease skin damage.
At Results Laser Clinic Sydney we use both the GentleLase Laser hair removal system and the Palmar Starlux / Multilux IPL hair removal system to ensure our clients are given the choice of two of the most efficient options available for light-based treatment of unwanted hair. One may be more suitable than the other based on patient skin-type, however, clinical studies have shown that in most cases a Laser technology is more effective in the treatment of unwanted hair.
