Laser Hair Removal
Treatment Overview
Laser hair removal is an effective and proven method of hair removal. The Quanta Duetto system is the world’s first mixed technology laser for hair removal its therefore suitable for all skin types and all hair types, even tanned skin! An average of 6 treatments every 2 to 6 weeks is recommend for destroying the hair follicles. It is a great alternative to traditional methods such as waxing, shaving and threading that often include having to grow hairs.
Quanta Duetto system uses the alexandrite wavelength of visible light which is extremely effective for Fitzpatrick skin types 1-3, it’s great for the stubborn fine hairs that you can find mostly on areas like the face or arms. The system also uses a wavelength of ND:YAG invisible light which is great for treating darker skin types; Fitzpatrick 4-6. The advantage of the ND:YAG is that its wavelength is longer and therefore there’s more penetration into the dermis which means it can destroy darker and coarse hairs much more effectively without causing side effect one the skin such as pigmentation. The laser machine fires both these wavelengths at the same time which is what makes it one of the safest and most effective systems on the market.

FAQ
Will laser hair removal be suitable for my skin type?
All skin types can have laser hair removal at Wentworth aesthetic as well as all hair types. However, the most effective results will be on darker and coarser hair types.
We use the Fitzpatrick scale as a method of testing skin types to understand how your skin reacts to light and to help us identify the best methods of treatment. Our practitioner has extensive knowledge in using this dermatologically tested scale to identify and treat skin types to make sure the treatment is as safe as possible and that no side effects occur.
How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
An average of 6 treatments is recommended for best results, however results can vary from individual. Multiple treatments are needed because only hair in the active stage of growth (Anagen stage) can be treated in order to effectively destroy the hair follicle. Time is needed for hairs in the Catagen and Telogen phases to move into the Anagen phase. Effective results require treatments spread evenly and consistently, from 2 weeks on the face and 4 to eight weeks on the body.
