Latest Technology - 808nm Medical Grade Painless Diodo Laser

Like chalky sunscreen and limited foundation shades, hair removal lasers didn’t work well for women with medium to dark skin. But thanks to the growing awareness around inclusivity, along with advances in technology, those of us who were told for years that laser hair removal was a no-go due to our skin tone are now finally able to get the treatment.

For women of colour, laser hair removal has been a gamble: devices weren't sophisticated enough to completely distinguish between the pigment in the skin and the hair, meaning that they could potentially cause dark and light spots, blisters, and even scarring, in the skin surrounding the follicle, But now there is a smarter laser that can be used in a much more precise—and safe—way, making getting rid of unwanted fuzz a reality for a wider range of skin tones and in Beyond Skin we have it.

How does laser hair removal work?

The laser works by emitting a light that goes into the hair follicle where it is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft and follicle. The light energy is converted to heat, which affects the active matrix that produces hair. This process inhibits or delays future hairs from forming. The heat goes under your skin without burning your skin. Different types of lasers can be found in the market.

At Beyond Skin we use a brand new Delight Medical Grade 808nm Diodo Laser that can be used in all skin types. This technology has a sapphire tip for a cooling effect during treatments, giving a comfortable and painless experience. The high power and continuous wave diode offers more effective results.

The first step: Consultation Form

At Beyond Skin, skincare and health is the most important aspect of our work. That’s why before any laser treatment you will need to fill out a form with your information. With this, we will assess your suitability for laser hair removal. Some medical conditions and medications may negate your eligibility for the treatment. With your health information, we can do a hair and skin examination.

Once we make sure you are the right candidate for a laser treatment: a personalised treatment plan with an approximation of how many sessions we think you will need, prices, and payment options will be provided, making sure we offer you the best service.

How many sessions I will need?

We can’t answer this upfront because every person has a different reaction, but it normally takes between 8-10 session to be hair free. A minimum of 6 sessions are needed for good results. Each treatment should be performed roughly 4-6 weeks apart. However, this is dependent on age, hair type, hormone levels and other factors. A yearly maintenance session may be required after.
