If you’re fed up with unwanted hair on your face of body you’re not alone.  Both men and women are beating a path to laser hair removal clinics all over Ireland.  According to Dundrum Medical Cosmetic Clinic , laser hair removal is the third most popular cosmetic procedure for men.

Although laser hair removal has been around for more than 10 years now, it can prove quite difficult to find consistent, reliable, unbiased, laser hair removal information.

So let’s look at the facts on laser hair removal, and the main types of this type of hair removal offered in Ireland.

Firstly, the most commonly found laser hair removal system in Ireland is called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light).  The thing is, an IPL is not really a laser at all.  Many salons and clinics in Ireland offer hair removal by IPL.  These machines are generally much lower powered, and so are less effective than Medical Lasers.

The unsettling thing is – with the lack of regulation in Ireland, anyone can buy a low powered machine and claim they are offering ‘true’ laser hair removal. These machines do, at best, a poor job, and in the wrong hands can cause quite a lot of damage.

In America and the UK the laser industry is subject to strict guidelines and regulations.

The gold standard medical laser for lighter coloured skins is the Alexandrite Long Pulsed Laser.  For the best hair removal results on darker skin types an Nd:Yag is the laser of choice.  These ‘true’ lasers are usually only offered in dedicated laser hair removal clinics and medical centres.
