Primelase HR Laser Hair Removal Treatments

At Ivy Laser Clinic we provide Medical Grade, Primelase Diode Laser treatments. Primelase is the worlds most powerful Diode Laser Hair Removal platform with twice the power of other brands to guarantee best results.

How does it work?

Primelase is a Medical Grade Diode Laser. Along with its patented cooling system, Primelase offers permanent removal of unwanted hair in a super-fast pain free treatment. Unlike older technology lasers and IPL, Primelase delivers maximum energy to destroy the hair not just damage it.

What happens during laser hair removal?

Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be cleansed, an ultra sound gel is applied – this gel is cold but kept at room temperature. A lot of clients don’t like this part. 

The laser treatment will take place in a room set up specifically for laser treatments. Everyone in the room must wear protective eyewear during the procedure. To perform the procedure, the skin is held taut and the skin is treated with the laser. Many patients say that the laser pulses feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band being snapped against the skin. 

A laser removes hair by vaporising it. This causes small plumes of smoke that have a sulphur-like smell. Your technician will always wear a mask for this reason and they are available if you would like to wear one, although this is not possible for facial hair removal. The treatment room has an air circulation system that traps in plumage via hepa and carbon filtration systems. 

How long your treatment lasts depends on the size of the area being treated. Treating the upper lip takes minutes. If you are having a large area like the back or legs treated, your treatment may last more than an hour.

What must I do after getting laser hair removal?

To avoid possible side effects, all patients need to protect their skin from the sun. After laser hair removal, you should: 

  • Avoid direct sunlight from hitting your treated skin.
  • Not use a tanning bed, sun lamp, or any other indoor tanning equipment.
  • Follow your after-care instructions which contains info such as avoid swimming pools and jacuzzis for 24 hours

You will see some redness and swelling after treatment. This often looks like a mild sunburn. Applying a cool compress can help reduce your discomfort. 

Is there downtime?

No, laser hair removal generally does not require any real downtime. Immediately after having laser hair removal, your treated skin may be red and swollen. Despite this, most people return to their everyday activities. 

When will I see the results after having laser hair removal?

You will likely see the results immediately after treatment. The results vary from patient to patient and how the hair colour contrasts with your skin colour. Hair thickness and density are also factors and depend on the area treated. You can fully expect a 10-25% reduction in hair after the first treatment. 

To remove the hair, most clients need 2 to 6 laser treatments it’s rare I don’t recommend a course of 6 treatments however some people need as many as 10 and in rare cases more but that’s where are special maintenance price kicks in, we charge a stunning 50% discount for anyone who requires  more then 6 treatments and consider anything over 6 treatments maintenance. We are striving to be the best in our industry and always trying our best to ensure you are very happy with the results and receive the best value for treatments throughout your laser hair removal journey, that means sometimes we spread treatments out for months. We can always explain the whys and hows for you having the ultimate results and value for money. It’s not unusual for us to see clients for 12-14 months before they are confidently hair free. 

After finishing the treatments, most patients do not see any hair on the treated skin for several months or even years. Many factors contribute to why our hair regrows. Facial Hair and Hollywood bikini are the areas most likely to require regular maintenance treatments and this is hormones driving hair growth.  When the hair regrows, there tends to be less of it. 

The hairs also tend to be finer and lighter in colour. We expect to carry out maintenance treatments for legs and underarms much less whilst male back hair is more unpredictable at present. 

How long will the results of laser hair removal last?

Most patients remain hair free for months or even years. When some of the hair regrows, it will likely be less noticeable. To keep the area free of hair, a patient may need maintenance laser treatments. 

What are the possible side effects?

The most common side effects are minor and last 1 to 3 days. These side effects include: 

  • Discomfort
  • Swelling
  • Redness

Other possible side effects are rare with laser hair removal they include  Blistering

  • Herpes simplex (cold sores) outbreaks
  • Infections
  • Scarring
  • Skin lightening or darkening

In time, skin colour tends to return to normal. Some changes to skin colour, however, are permanent. This is why seeing a technician who is skilled in laser treatments and has in-depth knowledge of the skin is so important. 

It is also important to follow your laser technicians instructions. Following both the before-treatment instructions and after-treatment instructions will greatly reduce your risk of side effects. 

When is it safe to have another laser treatment for hair removal?

This varies from patient to patient. Removing hair often requires a series of laser treatments. Most patients can have laser hair removal once every 4 to 6 weeks for facial hair and every 8 to 10 weeks for legs. Your technician will advise during consultations how many treatments to expect and time durations recommended. We will tell you updated and as to why and how the treatment plan may change and when it is safe to have another treatment.
