Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal treatment available for grey hair, white hair and fine blonde hair. Most areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis, including the eyebrows, face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur. It is safe for all Skin types. How does electrolysis work? A very low current is applied directly to the hair follicle, which conducts electricity more than the hair itself, destroying the root and allowing it to be removed whole. Each hair needs to be treated on a number of occasions until its blood supply is sealed off and it cannot grow again. What Causes Unwanted Hair Growth? Hair growth is the result of heredity and hormone levels. Temporary methods of hair removal and illnesses can stimulate hair growth. Electrolysis may be an option when hair growth is in an area of the body where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will I Need? Many factors influence hair growth, so you will need to return for several electrolysis visits. The total number of sessions needed to remove hair permanently from a particular area will vary from person to person. Most clients return once a week or every other week as needed. But the unwanted hair will be gone forever once the series of treatments is complete. Each treatment typically lasts between 15 minutes and one hour. Consultation appointment At Laser Me, we offer a free consultation prior to carrying out treatment, where the procedure will be explained, and a medical history taken. This will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure.

Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal treatment available for grey hair, white hair and fine blonde hair. Most areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis, including the eyebrows, face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur. It is safe for all Skin types.

How does electrolysis work?

A very low current is applied directly to the hair follicle, which conducts electricity more than the hair itself, destroying the root and allowing it to be removed whole. Each hair needs to be treated on a number of occasions until its blood supply is sealed off and it cannot grow again.

What Causes Unwanted Hair Growth?

Hair growth is the result of heredity and hormone levels. Temporary methods of hair removal and illnesses can stimulate hair growth. Electrolysis may be an option when hair growth is in an area of the body where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line.

How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will I Need?

Many factors influence hair growth, so you will need to return for several electrolysis visits. The total number of sessions needed to remove hair permanently from a particular area will vary from person to person. Most clients return once a week or every other week as needed. But the unwanted hair will be gone forever once the series of treatments is complete. Each treatment typically lasts between 15 minutes and one hour.

Consultation appointment

At Laser Me, we offer a free consultation prior to carrying out treatment, where the procedure will be explained, and a medical history taken. This will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure.

How to prepare for electrolysis

We recommend a weekly appointment to catch and destroy all the hair in growth phase. It is necessary to grow the hair to at least 2mm in order to locate them. Only shaving is permitted between treatments. Sugaring, waxing, threading and plucking all increase blood flow under the skin with the eventual effect of increasing regrowth.

Downtime?

Depending on skin type sensitivity, some clients may experience some redness and slight swelling immediately following electrolysis treatment which typically resolves itself within an hour or two of treatment. Post-treatment care will be discussed with you by your Therapist during the consultation

Best For…Pockets of stubborn Fat, Body Sculpting,Targeted Fat Removal

Tech Explained: 3D-HIFU is the latest technology used to target specific focused areas of fat in the fastest possible treatment time. This technology works by delivering focused energy at a depth of 1.3cm to destroy fat cells. The high frequency of the ultrasound wave results in heating under the skin, effectively destroying the fat cells and tightening the skin in the area treated.The damaged cells are flushed away via a natural removal process through the lymphatic system that continues for up to 3 months.

How This Tech Works… The HIFU Hand piece delivers focused ultrasound waves to a precise depth to cause Necrosis of the fat cell. The controlled movement of the hand piece

results in a grid of treated fat cells. The high frequency of the ultrasound wave, results in rapid heating of the focal zone at 13mm under the skin leaving the skins surface unaffected. However this energy increases in temperature as it gets deeper within the skin due to the energy of the HIFU causing vibration within the fat cell. Exposing the fat cell to these high temperatures causes rapid cell death (necrosis).

What Areas Can Be improved with 3D-HIFU Body?… This treatment is great for busting those unwanted stubborn pockets of fat. Recommended areas for treatment are

typically: Abdomen, Flanks, Hips, Thighs & Buttocks

How Many treatments are recommended?… A single treatment per area is recommended.

What Results Can I Expect from this treatment?… Results can be seen from 2- 4 months post treatment. The average waistline reduction after just one single 1 hour treatment is around 1 inch (2.5cm)- which typically means one dress size.

Page 4: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

Can I Combine 3D- HIFU Body with Other Treatments?… 3D- HIFU body is best for targeting stubborn pockets of fat, however if you wish to have more of an overall fat reduction treatment your therapist may recommend combining your 3D- HIFU Body treatment as part of a treatment course incorporating other technologies for a more

complete fat reduction treatment. The beauty of 3D- lipo is that each technology can be combined to enable you to target your needs and devise a specific and bespoke treatment plan for you ensuring maximum results.

What will I experience during treatment?…A hand piece will be placed on the skin, this is the hand piece used to target focused energy to the fat cells. The hand piece is placed on the area of treatment and held there for approximately 2 minutes, this will be repeated 3 times per treatment area. During treatment, you may feel the warmth of the hand piece, and it some cases it may get slightly hot and uncomfortable. You may also feel a slight vibration and tingling sensation, although this is completely normal.

SHOCKWAVES Best For…Stubborn Pockets of fat and cellulite

Tech Explained… 3D-shockwave works by stimulating the fat breakdown, collagen synthesis, and lymphatic drainage. 3D-shockwave is delivered by placing a probe up against the areas of cellulite, as it passes over the area is emits radial waves through the skin.

How This Tech Works…

For Cellulite: Sound waves stimulate the microcirculation within the fat layer, increasing the metabolic function of the area and increasing cellular membrane permeability. Free fatty acids and glycerol are released from the

Page 7: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

fat cells and sit in the intercellular space. Lymphatic movement and increased blood supply remove these waste products from the body

For Skin Tightening: Sound waves stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation within the area.

They also stimulate the connective tissue and septa mobility, giving the skin a firmer tone and reducing the dimples within the skin.

What Areas Can Be improved with 3D-shockwave?…3D-shockwave can be performed on my areas of the body including the outer and inner thighs, knees, arms,

hips, buttocks, and stomach.

How many treatments are recommended?…A course of treatment is typically 8-10

individual 45 minute sessions.

What Results Can I Expect from this treatment?… Results are seen as quickly as 2 weeks after starting the course. If you exercise and increase how much water you drink you may see even better results. 90% of women who took part in a clinical study would recommend this treatment. Our experienced therapists will be able to tailor an individual shockwave treatment plan to meet your desired goal.

Can I Combine 3D-shockwave with Other Treatments?… Many people who undergo 3D-shockwave choose to combine it with other procedures. We would advise that

you speak with one of our therapists prior to the commencement of 3D-shockwave to discuss your previous treatments and also your treatment goals.

What will I experience during treatment?… The treatment itself is quite noisy, making a loud knocking sound. 3D-shockwave is a comfortable treatment and feels like a Tapotement massage.

Best For: Overall Fat Reduction

Tech Explained… Cavitation is a natural phenomenon based on low frequency ultrasound. The ultrasound produces a strong wave of pressure to fat cell membranes. A fat cell cannot with stand this pressure and therefore disintegrates into a liquid state.

What Happens to the Released Fat?… During the 3D-Cyclone Cav treatment, the membranes of the fat cells are disrupted. The fat cell content, primarily comprised of triglycerides, is dispersed into the fluid between the cells and then transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The liver makes no distinction between fat coming from the 3D-Cyclone Cav treatment and fat originating from consumed food. Both are processed by the body’s natural mechanisms.

Page 9: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

What Areas Can Be improved with 3D-Cyclone Cav?… 3D-Cyclone Cav is best for treating larger areas of fat such as the abdomen, thighs and ‘muffin top’.

How Many treatments are recommended?… A course of 6-8 treatments are recommended to achieve optimum results although your therapist will advise the best treatment plan for you.

What Results Can I Expect from this treatment?… Results can be seen from treatment one, with an average loss of 1-3cm per treatment. Results will be improved during each treatment.

Can I Combine 3D-Cyclone Cav with Other Treatments… Yes-3D-cyclone cavitation can often be combined with other treatments depending on what you are looking to achieve. A therapist will devise a tailored treatment program which may incorporate the addition of other technologies depending on what you are trying to achieve.

What will I experience during treatment?… The size of the treatment area determines the duration of the session. During treatment, a handheld device delivering ultrasound energy gently glides over the marked area. The majority of treated patients consistently report a painless and comfortable experience.

CRYOLIPOLYSIS

Page 10: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

Best For… Stubborn Pockets & Body Sculpting

Tech Explained…3D-cryofreeze is a unique non-invasive treatment using a combination of electro and cryo therapy. Using the 3D-cryofreeze headpiece, this creates

vacuum which draws the fat into the headpiece. This localised area within the headpiece is then frozen, causing 20%-40% of the fat cells in that area to die.

How This Tech Works… 3D-Cryofreeze targets specifically the fat cells. By lowering the temperatureto -6 degrees it pinpoints the content of the fat cells, causing them to crystalize.

No other structures are affected by this process. The remaining content of the fat cells is then disposed of naturally through the body’s lymphatic system.

What Areas Can Be improved with 3D-cryofreeze?… This treatment is best for targeting those stubborn areas that just won’t shift. Typical areas ideal for 3D-cryofreeze

including inner thighs, lower abdomen and ‘muffin tops’ however your therapist will provide a tailored treatment plan to provide you with the best possible results which may include combining 3D-cryofreeze with other technologies as part of a treatment program. 2 areas can now be treated simultaneously with the 3D-cryofreeze duo application.

Page 11: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

How Many treatments are recommended?… Only one treatment is required per area.

What Results Can I Expect from this treatment?… On average you will see a 20%-40% reduction of the fat in the localised area that it treated. As the body takes several months to flush out the dead fat cells, results will be visible after 6-12 weeks.

Can I Combine 3D-cryofreeze with Other Treatments?… 3D-cryofreeze is a one off treatment, how it can be devised as a part of a course of treatments depending on your goals, however your therapist will discuss this with you. It is great as a one off treatment

for targeting stubborn areas, but can also be combined with other technologies on the machine to enhance results. For example if you have a pocket of stubborn fat but also loose skin on that area, it would be advised to combine 3D-cryofreeze with a course of radio frequency to both remove the fat and tighten/ tone the skin.

What will I experience during treatment?… First of all, an anti-freeze pad is placed onto the area of treatment, to protect the skin. During treatment the fat is drawn into a suction cup before freezing. This will provide a slight pulling sensation and the area will be cold. Within a few minutes the area should go numb. The headpiece will be on the area from 30-60 minutes to depending on the size of the area being treated.

Page 12: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

Best For… Skin tightening, smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Tech Explained…3D-RF penetrates the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue and the extra cellular matrix where the collagen fibres are embedded. The local heating of the area being treated causes an immediate contraction of the collagen fibres, and at the same time increases the metabolism of the fibroblastin order to accelerate production of new collagen fibres and elastin fibres to create a smoother, healthier and younger looking skin.4

How This Tech Works… 3D- RF technology is a fantastic treatment for both skin tightening and cellulite reduction. The 3D- RF energy selectively increases the temperature of the fat cells, by doing so simultaneously in deep and superficial layers of fat. This increases the metabolism and release of liquid fat from fat cells. Normal cells can support 60 degrees but fat cells start to be melted at 41 degrees.

After the treatment and release of liquid fat, the fat cells shrink in size, and skin is restored closer to its original form, reducing or eliminating the appearance of Cellulite.

What Areas Can Be improved with 3D-RF?… Areas on the body with loose skin and cellulite. Common treatment areas include ‘bingo wings’ lower abdomen, and back of thighs.

Page 13: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

How Many treatments are recommended?… A course of treatment is typically 8-10 individual 45 minute sessions.

What Results Can I Expect from this treatment?… Results can be seen as soon as after your first treatment, however a course of treatments recommended as results are further improved after each treatment.

Can I Combine 3D- shockwave with Other Treatments?… Many people who have 3D- RF choose to combine it with other procedures. Typically, this treatment can be combined with 3D- Cyclone Cav, to devise a treatment course to target fat removal, cellulite and skin tightening for an all-round package. However, 3D- RF can be performed as a stand- alone course depending on personal targets. We would advise that you speak with one of our therapists prior to the commencement of 3D-RF to discuss your treatment goals.

What will I experience during treatment?… 3D- RF is a relaxing treatment. First of all, an ultrasound gel will be placed onto the skin, this acts as a conductor for the 3D- RF Energy. A hand piece with metal probes will be placed onto the skin and moved in gentle circular motions around the skin. You will hear a slight beeping noise coming from the machine, the hand piece will get warmer and warmer, building heat until it reaches 40 degrees. Your therapist will use an infrared thermometer to measure the heat of the skin. Once temperature has built up to 40 degrees, your therapist will continue to maintain the heat, continuing treatment on the area for 2-4 minutes, before moving onto the next area.

What Kinds of 3D Lipo Treatment Are There & Which is Right for You?

There are four types of treatment available, each targeting a different end result. With this in

mind, a good place to start is to think about what it is you’d like to achieve: is your main objective

to reduce cellulite ahead of bikini season, or do you want to target that stubborn belly bulge that

no amount of working out will get rid of? Once you know that, you can choose from the following

options:

● Cryolipolysis is a treatment for stubborn packets of fat. Works well on superficial

fat. Benefits clients looking for body sculpting.

● Cavitation is a treatment for deeper fat. Larger clients with at least 3cm of fat

looking for inch loss treatments. Works well on abdomen, flanks, legs and buttocks

● Radio Frequency Skin tightening and fat ‘melting’. 4 pixel hand piece works well

on facial skin tightening and skin tightening on the body after cavitation. 6 pixel

hand piece beneficial for a thinner fat layer for smoothing and skin tightening.

3D Lipo vs Traditional Cosmetic Surgery

3D Lipo and cosmetic surgery may have the same aim in mind, but the way practitioners of the

two procedures go about achieving it is very different. That aim is giving you a healthier body,

and a healthier, more confident mind. One question we’re always asked is: “Which is better?”

It’s a seemingly simple question, and one you might well want answered quickly, but as with all

things medical it is always best not to rush in, but to commit to some research about the

procedures, to better benefit your own specific situation. So with that in mind, we’ve detailed

some key points that we hope you will find useful.

When we talk about the differences between 3D Lipo and regular liposuction, the most important

(and beneficial) talking point should immediately sound appealing: It does not involve incisions,

Page 17: How does electrolysis work? What Causes Unwanted Hair ... · where it may not be desired such as on a woman’s upper lip, chin, or bikini line. How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will

anaesthetics, or the physical removal of fat cells. In other words, you’re not getting opened up –

the procedure is completely non-invasive.

This has multiple benefits, the foremost being both safety for the patient, followed by overall

comfort.

3D lipo utilises a device that emits low frequencies via ultrasound technology. This low frequency

takes the form of consistently-paced ‘waves’ that break down and dissolve fatty cells within the

body, like waves breaking down a rocky shore (only much quicker – you won’t be waiting millions

of years to feel great about your body).

Patients who have undergone the procedure have described it as quite relaxing and therapeutic,

which are things you’ll rarely hear about when asking a patient who has gone under the knife.

As you may have guessed, the non-invasiveness and ease in performance for the nurses results

in a lower price tag. The great thing about Medical Science is that breakthroughs are incredibly

revolutionary when they come about, and 3D Lipo is one such breakthrough – the lower price for

both nursing staff and patient being one of the key factors in its surging popularity.

Treatment summary and possible side effects:

What else do I need to avoid after treatment?

● Hot baths, heavy exercise, massage etc. for 5 to 7 days after the treatment

● Avoid sun beds and no sunbathing during the healing process of the skin (which is

up to 2 months). This could results in Hyper-Pigmentation of the treated skin.
