Laser Treatment Explained
We can provide Laser services for all skin tones and types
​
Our treatment protocols are not based on "area to be treated", but are instead based on "time to treat".
All of our laser techs have experience treating all areas and are comfortable and willing to discuss your specific goals and can provide you with an estimate for your work at a consult (which will be documented and sent to you).
We do it this way as people come in different shapes and sizes, some people are covered in tattoos or freckles that can't be treated. Some prefer to keep certain parts of their hair.Some are unlucky and require very specific and time consuming treatments.
The needs of a trans masc person can vary from that of a transfem or a cis person. Our techs are paid for their time and will treat the areas that you request at time of booking or on the day.
This also means it is vital to shave as thoroughly as possible before hand, as time spent shaving is time spent not lasering, and this worsens the value of the service.
Our Laser Devices
We Use the E-Luxx 4 in 1
​
Despite its name, it has several functions.
1
808nm Diode Laser: Hair Removal
The Primary laser for hair removal as stated above. This head comes with a water cooled refrigerating surface that is intended to bring down the surface temperature of the clients skin down before zapping. When combined with a cooling gel it allows us to fire on the highest possible settings.
2
1024nm Nd:Yag Laser: Tattoo Removal
This handpiece fires extremely fast, high energy flashes that target a very small surface area. They are designed to be absorbed by the pigment in tattoo ink - Resulting microscope particles that your immune system will finish off.
​
It is also quite capable at destroying sunspots, blemishes and moles and can be especially effective for spot hair removal treatments for darker skin
3
Radio Frequency Reshaping
Radiofrequency uses radiowaves to heat the skin below the surface in a way that causes small amounts of damage. Similar to our platelete rich plasma microneedling, this stimulates the production collagen, elastin and blood vessels and in so doing reduces fine lines and wrinkles - it can even be used to regrow widows peaks and beards for transmascs!

Intense Pulse Light Phototherapy: Skin Rejuvination
IPL treatments are high energy treatments that use a broad spectrum of wavelengths simultaneously. They are less focussed on doing a single task extremely well, but can be applied towards doing providing number of skin and hair treatments.
​
Depending on the wavelength and filters chosen, the IPL arm can be calibrated to focus one task over others.

Intense Pulse Light Phototherapy: Vascular Therapy
The next filter allows the destruction of small blood vessels, commonly found as we age, and especially common as we load up on maybe a little too much estrogen.
6
Intense Pulse Light Phototherapy: Hair Removal
The wavelength of IPL is broad and its fluence is high. This means it is capable to being absorbed by a wide variety of hair pigment types.
7
Intense Pulse Light Phototherapy: Acne Removal
Even just one treatment can do wonders for people who suffer with prolonged acne. It is also able to play a small role in reversing acne scarring. What cant this machine do?
