About Intense Pulse Light (IPL) - WARNINGS

All IPL is not the same. Medical grade IPL gives superior results over low energy IPL and SPL systems. Research supports high energy is required for permanent reduction. Low energy treatments may only result in temporary epilation.

>>>>> IPL WARNINGS >>>>>>

A lot of our new clients have come to us because they have already spent a lot of money on cheap IPL  or SPL and they just haven’t got the results they were promised. Below is a checklist we have put together to help you ascertain if your treatment is working for you.

How do I know if my IPL is working? -  Hair Removal CHECKLIST

  1. At least 95% of the hair should be falling out after the treatment, generally within two weeks.
  2. Re growth should be significantly finer.
  3. Treatments should be spaced at six to eight weekly intervals, in most cases roots will not be forming and ready for treatment before this (4 weeks for facial hair)
  4. Moderate pain similar to being flicked by a rubber band – if there is no pain it probably is not working!
  5. Treatment head should suit the area being treated ie small treatment head for top lip and around the nose and larger treatment head for legs and bikini area, this ensures an accurate treatment.
  6. Be aware of un realistic promises and guarantees
  7. Be wary of outlaying large sums of money for pre paid treatments, you may not be happy with the results or service or the salon may suddenly close.

Choosing where to have your IPL can difficult, you want to get effective results so going with the cheapest price is not always the best option and on the other hand you don’t want to get serious unwanted side affects from your treatment.

We use the Lynton MF Medical IPL machine which is registered with the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) number 145476. It is designed for safety and is maintained by Medical Technologies on a monthly basis. This is essential to ensure consistent energy levels for your treatment.

Our therapists have undergone accredited IPL training courses and extensive clinic training in hair removal and skin rejuvenation. All therapists have a minimum of 5 years experience in performing medical grade IPL treatments.

Occasionally minor short term side affects can occur and this is discussed in detail at your consultation but we can assure you that at Erazer Claremont we have never had any serious problems with our treatments; however we do carry full medical indemnity insurance.
