Hi. Looking for an effective laser clinic in Perth Australia. Can anyone recommend one?
Everything I look at is doing IPL not laser. It’s very frustrating - even if an expert on laser could google perth laser clinics to help me out would be amazing.
We need to know your skin type to determine which laser you need.
Okay. I am a male, I want my upper thighs done - which are basically very white as they don’t see the sun very often (or at all). The hairs are dark but relatively fine (fine as in each follicle is fine) And I would guess that overall the hairs are about maybe a millimetre apart, perhaps closer together in some areas like closer to the knee.
Would IPL work on this?
Light based systems need coarse, dense, dark hair. Will IPL work? My guess would be no, but you can try. It may give you relief as in long term waxing.
How close the hairs are together is irrelevant for laser. The hair needs to be coarse, i.e. when you shave, you get a shadow and/or stubble. It doesn’t sound like the hair is coarse enough for laser. You can post a photo if you want to know for sure.
Hi, here is a picture (may hand is in there so you can see scale) There is quite large area of this though, entire thighs and buttocks.
The hair is medium coarseness. I would expect SOME result, but not great result. If you get 40-50% removed and the rest looking finer, that would be a success on this hair.
Okay - so would you say IPL or laser, and how many treatments?
We always recommend true laser over IPL. I’d say at least 4 treatments. At that point, you’ll have to reassess to see if enough coarse hair remains to warrant more treatments.
I really struggle to find a true laser place in perth. My internet search results always bring up IPL. Any suggestions?
