Evidence proves the benefits of utilizing three laser wavelengths in a single handpiece which simultaneously targets different tissue depths as well as anatomical structures within the hair follicle. With the combination of different penetration and absorption levels of these wavelengths, combined with the speed of delivery, you can be assured you will be receiving one of the safest and most comprehensive hair reduction solutions today.

3D – TrilogyIce in motion protocol ensures safe, comfortable and effective hair removal on all skin types. The energy pulses gradually heat the dermis and damage hair follicles whilst avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue.

Moving the applicator over the treatment area quickly enables full coverage whilst the contact cooling system ensures virtually pain-free and effective hair reduction.

During treatment, the hand piece will be used in a gliding forwards and backwards motion over the skin. You may experience a warming sensation in addition to a slight pinkness to the skin. The treatment itself is virtually painless.

The treatment is suitable for anyone who has unwanted hair in various areas of the face and body. The technology can treat hair colour from golden blonde through to black hair. Your therapist will advise further during a consultation to determine your suitability for treatment.

Other than white and grey hair, all hair colours can be permanently reduced through treatments. Dark hairs are most easily treated due to the high concentration of melanin that gives maximum absorption.

3D – TrilogyIce can practically be used anywhere there is hair – including underarms, legs, arms, face, pubic area, chest, back and buttocks.

This varies for each client and a treatment program will be devised on consultation. A course of 6-8 treatments is typically recommended.

The time varies depending on the area being treated but typically ranges from 15 minutes up to 1 hour per application.

Results can be seen from the first session and improve throughout the course of treatments.

There is no downtime following the treatment, and you can return to your daily activities straight away. Some people may experience a slight warmth or redness in the treated areas, but this is unusual and should disappear within a few hours.

Absolutely, laser hair removal is safe. The laser targets only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. You may experience some redness, but this should subside within 24 hours.

Laser hair removal is definitely the best solution to this problem, especially if you have coarse or curly hair and find you have recurring ingrown hairs.

Because the laser destroys hair follicles at the source, the hair itself doesn’t get a chance to become ingrown.
