Laser Hair Removal

Experience AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) Laser Hair Removal at Cascada Spa, a highly effective system which uses controlled flashes of light to permanently damage and destroy hair follicles without re-growth.

An AFT light therapy approach to eliminating unwanted hair provides the ultimate treatment solution. Unlike many other treatment methods, AFT Hair Removal leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother and softer.

Because of the significantly large spot size created by this unique technology, backs, shoulders, abdomens and legs can be treated quickly. Facial areas such as the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes.

How does it feel?

Each flash of the intense light feels warm, and some people think it feels a bit like the snap of an elastic band on the skin – definitely felt but not painful or uncomfortable. The warmth may build up in the skin over progressive flashes, and Cascada also uses a Cryogen cooler to deliver cooled air to the treatment area for additional comfort. There is absolutely no pain or burning of the skin, and you can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, with the provision that a sun block be used.

How it works:
The Cosmetic Laser

The word Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser generates a high-intensity beam of light that has many applications in medicine. The light produced by the laser is a single wavelength, similar to choosing one pure colour from a rainbow. Depending on the colour chosen, the laser energy is only absorbed by certain tissues. For instance, a laser beam can pass safely through the surface of the skin and destroy blood vessels or hair follicles lying just beneath the surface. The laser light is converted to heat, causing thermal damage to the selected tissue without damaging the surrounding tissue.

What is Pulse Light Hair Removal process?
The IPL process uses intense pulsed light to gently remove unwanted hair, putting an end to routine shaving and waxing. IPL treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smoother and silkier. This patented technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatments to deliver long lasting results. IPL's wide beam treats larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face rather than treating one hair at a time. Best of all, IPL treatments are a safe, fast, gentle and effective alternative method for hair removal.

What are the benefits of IPL hair removal?
• Larger areas may be treated at one time.
• It works equally well with light or dark hair and skin.
• There is less chance for scarring and pigmentation change.
• Less pain and discomfort compared to other hair removal treatments.
• Combines the speed of shaving with the lasting results promised by electrolysis.
• IPL is effective on almost any area of the body where smoother, younger-looking hair-free skin is desired.
