laser hair removal Near Me In Ipswich...

The Motus AX is a fairly new alexnadrite laser system by using the ‘Moveo’ method which consits of repeated passes on small area, including a gradual heating of the vital parts of the hair and leading to their distruction in a way that is totally painless for the client and without side effects. LArge areas of the body can be treated in record time. 

To avoid heating the skin and causing damage to the epidermis, the Motus AX has is equipped with an intergrated cooling technology that cools the skin as its treated. 

To destroy the hair folicle via laser hair removal, the light from the laser has to be absorbed by the melanin contained in the hair folicle which acts as n ‘intermediary’ for transmitting damaging heat inside the follicle. 

Yes, for effective hair removal a course of 8 is always recommended. This is becuase the hair alternates in periods of growth (anagen) and no growth (telogen) for laser hair removal to be effective the hair needs to be in anagen phase as its particulary rich in melanin meaning the absorbtion of laser energy by is predominantly effective at the growth phase. 

The different phases of human hair growth (anagen, catagen & telogen) phases are not synchronized i.e. every hair is in a differnt grwoing phase so there is no way of knowing which phase hey are in which is why a course of always recommended. 

Although every client is differnt for the average person the below gives an idea on how many treatments would be needed: 

Face – 12 + treatments

Bikini/Underarm – 6 + treatments 

Other body area – 8 + treatments 

The only wavelength that is effective for treating fine and light hairs is 755nm, a high peak power (more than 6000w) and able to use a short pulse length (down to 2 ms) to provide efficient melanin absorption.

The moveo handpiecewas deisgned to combat the issue of the clients skin reflecting the enegry emitted by the laser using a sapphire tip which when in contact with the skin decreases the varaiton in the reflection and reducing the enegry loss which has never been seen or done by another laser manuafacture.

Yes, a details consultation and patch test is required before commencement of any treatment. We do charge a small £15 fee which is redeemable against future treatments.

At your patch test we will need the area shaved, the role of a patch test isnt to see if it treats the hair but to see if your skin is ok with the settings we need to use to kill the hair. This is done 48 hours prior to full treatment commencing.
