Laser treatment

Laser treatment at Arvi’s

We provide a high-quality, pain-free laser hair removal using Sheerwave Intensive Pulse Light (IPL), which uses pulsed light energy to remove undesired hair (photo thermolysis) and induces biological processes that are needed in various skin treatments such as acne, pigmentation, rosacea, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin rejuvenation. Our technology also allows us to treat white and blonde hair, making it a great option for all hair types.

What is Sheerwave IPL?

  • Non-invasive treatment that uses high intensity pulses of visible light to improve the appearence of various skin conditions and hair reduction.

How does it work?

  • The light emitted by Sheerwave IPL is absorbed by chromophores (specific cells). By triggering different chromophores, the IPL is able to treat many skin conditions as well as permanent hair reduction.

How does it feel?

  • Completely painless. A mild heat and bright flash of light is experienced in full comfort and relaxation. Other lasers and IPL’s do not compare.

How many treatments are needed?

  • For skin conditions, it may range between 3 to 8 sessions depending on the severity of the symptoms. For hair reduction, it may range between 6 to 10 sessions. Keep in mind that if the condition or hair is caused by an imbalance (hormonal, stress, diet) it may require further treatments.

What are the side effects?

  • It is normal to have slight redness in the treated area immediately following the procedure. It will disappear approximately 2 hours after the treatment.

Who should avoid IPL treatments?

  • IPL is effective on individuals of all hair colors but those with very dark skin (FitzPatrick types VI) should not receive IPL treatments. Although IPL can be performed on all skin colors, those who have been in the sun or tanning beds should wait at least 2 weeks before being treated.

Who is it suitable for and what to expect?

  • Wrinkles
    • Sheerwave IPL can reduce the appearence of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating new collagen growth and causing existing collagen to diminish.
  • Rosacea
    • By administering IPL frequencies, heat is generated and small vessels (especially on the cheeks, nose and midface) coagulate, causing the vessels to collapse and seal.
  • Acne
    • Sheerwave IPL produces oxygen molecules within the skin to successfully destroy bacteria within.
  • Pigmentation
    • IPL helps to neutralize areas of hyperpigmentation while minimizing damages caused to the surrounding tissue. Types of hyperpigmentation include: age spots, liver spots, freckles and sun spots.
  • Hair Removal
    • Compared with other methods such as electrolysis and waxing, IPL hair removal is less painful and less invasive. IPL can be used to treat most areas on the body or face.
