LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Always wanted to do something about it but questioned the effectiveness of available treatment options? Eclipse is the breakthrough answer we’ve been waiting for, a hi-tech hero designed right here in New Zealand to address a whole host of skin concerns permanently, cost effectively and painlessly.

​

How Does It work?

​

SHR stands for Super Hair Removal.  It is a technology of permanent hair removal which is proving very successful.  The system combines laser technology and the benefits of the pulsating light method achieving practically painless results.  Even hairs which until now have been difficult or even impossible to be removed, can now be treated. “In Motion” represents a breakthrough in permanent hair removal with light technology.  The treatment is more pleasant than with the conventional systems and your skin is much better protected.

​

The sweeping technique of moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area ensures full coverage while the MAX cooling system cools the skin surface - preventing superficial burns and allowing for virtually pain-free, yet highly effective hair removal.

 

Precautions to be taken before the treatment:

• At least 1 week before the first treatment, intense sun exposure or solarium visits should be avoided.

• Hairs should not be waxed or plucked less than 6 weeks before treatment.

• Shaving is permitted any time.

• Areas to be treated should ideally be shaved one day before the scheduled appointment.

• If you are currently on the medication Ro-Accutane or similar or have been in the past 6 months, please let us know before each treatment session. This medication can make your skin more susceptible to damage from the treatment.

​

After Care - For 24 hours after each IPL treatment:

• No sun exposure or UV exposure of sun beds.

• Wear sun block with both UVA and UVB protection.

• No depilatory,  AHA, glycolic or salicylic creams.

• No very hot baths or showers – tepid water only.

• No heat treatments e.g. sauna.

• No swimming in chlorinated pools or spa baths.

• No deodorant – if underarms treated.

• No perfumes, highly perfumed soaps or lotions, etc.

Frequently asked questions

How many treatments are necessary? Since growth cycles vary, approximately 8 treatments are usually necessary

What will you feel during treatment? Treatment with SHR is practically painless, compared to treatment with conventional IPL devices. The sweeping technique of moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area gives full coverage while the MAX cooling system cools the skin surface, preventing superficial burns and allowing for virtually pain-free, yet highly effective hair removal.

How are different hair and skin colours affected? Although light skin with dark hair responds most favourably to the treatments, SHR-technology also enables the successful treatment of dark skin, removing achromous fine hairs.

How long should the intervals between treatments be? The hair growth cycle and the interval between treatments should correspond, requiring spacing of approximately 4 weeks.

How does It work?

With this state-of-the-art Eclipse 1200 PLUS IPL/SHR System. The system combines laser technology and the benefits of the pulsating light method achieving practically painless results. 

​

Acne: The system can be used for the improvement of mild to moderate inflammatory acne. This range targets a type of bacteria that colonize inside the sebaceous gland and clog it.  A photo-chemical reaction induced by the module's light, induces the photo excitation process and the destruction of the bacteria.

 

Pigmentation: Light absorbed by melanin is transformed into heat energy. This process causes the breakdown of pigment molecules and is cleaned and by phagocytes and are also shed of by the normal process skin renewal. Transient erythema and darkening of pigment molecules can be expected. 

​

Vascular: The light absorbed by hemoglobin is converted to heat thereby effectively cauterizing the walls of capillaries.

​

Skin Rejuvenation: Collagen effectively absorbs the 510/560 nm-1200 nm spectrum of light. This results selective thermolysis  of collagen resulting in heating and contraction of collagen bundles.  The retraction of collagen bundles makes this process effective in the management of fine superficial wrinkles.
