laser vs ipl

It is often mistaken that Laser and IPL are the same when they are not.

Laser uses one specific wavelength of light, at The Body Barber™ we use a diode laser with a wavelength of 808nm, where the colour of the hair follicle is the target. IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treats using a broad spectrum of high-intensity light with multiple scattered wavelengths.

Laser hair removal for men at The Body Barber™ delivers the ultimate solution.

It's a simple fact that men have body hair. A completely natural occurrence with genetics playing a more hirsute fate for some more so than others, and not everyone is happy about it. We can be our own worst enemy, but the pressure to de-fluff from a partner or what the various media outlets suggest is 'socially acceptable' all influence our decisions.

It could be that you intend to get a tattoo that, without a more permanent solution such as laser, will be hidden from the view .... and what is the point of that ?

If it's just about how hirsute you are the we have that 'covered' as well. There is an alternative choice out there though and you don't have to get it all removed. For those of you who don't mind having hair on your chest, stomach or legs, but just not as much of it, 2 to 4 laser hair treatments may be all you need to reduce the coverage to what you feel comfortable and happy with.

Backs are an area that the majority of us would rather not have hair and for you guys a more permanent solution would be your thing. Legs on the other hand can be considered a more masculine trait by women, unless you are a cyclist or swimmer and require that extra 1/2 second speed advantage ?

Another emerging trend we have noticed here at The Body Barber™, is what we call a 'hygiene' treatment. With several laser treatments even the hairiest of bottoms out there become smooth and hair free allowing many of you to relax when nature calls, by removing the sense of confidence that only a shower afterwards usually brings, no matter where you are.

German innovation, technology and engineering.

the technology

German engineering at its best, the LinScan 808 is a diode laser with a wave length of 808nm and is one of the most versatile diode lasers on the market without the need for anaesthetics and gels, thanks to the innovative and revolutionary linear scanning technology.

Linear Scanning - With linear scanning, a laser beam scans over the entire treatment area of 50mm x 15mm which can be varied in size for the area being treated.

MCT mode (Motion Controlled Technology), a new approach to laser hair removal developed where the LinScan 808 takes this to the next level. Utilising the integrated cooling head, the laser is fired with low energy density in 2-4 controlled stacks and is their approach to pain free treatments.

The Body Barber™ is the only clinic in Victoria to be currently using the next generation laser technology of the LinScan 808.

integrated sapphire cooling

The cooled sapphire glass of the LinScan 808 at The Body Barber™, is able to be reduced to 0°C.

The aim of the integrated contact skin cooling, alongside the intelligent software, is to achieve pain free laser hair removal. It also secures safe and effective treatments for lighter and darker skin types.

Because of the analgesic effect of the integrated cooling, it makes treatments much more bearable for you and offers thermal protection allowing the possibility of using higher levels of therapeutical energy for more successful outcomes.

Treatment work is able to be completed in less time as there is no need for the application of any gels.

laser hair removal requires a short-term commitment but has long-term benefits.

Guys, laser hair removal is not something you think of doing on one of your days off and it is not a treatment that you have the once or twice and your then end up as smooth as the day you were born.

Our interest is the same as yours, we both want something that is effective, that will work for your hair and skin type and is not a waste of your hard-earned cash.

Laser requires a series of treatments over a period, usually 4 to 7 weeks apart, to accommodate the difference in hair growth stages. Factors such as your hair type, skin type, the area treated and of course, any medications or supplements that you may be taking all will influence your success.

How does it work ?

The amount of pigment, or melanin, in hair determines its colour and therefore its effectiveness to treatment. The LinScan Hair Removal laser uses a wavelength of 808nm, which, when applied to the treatment area, turns to thermal energy (heat) and absorbed by the melanin. The applied light is absorbed by the melanin, the temperature in the root rises and the hair can no longer grow.

Lasers can only target hair of colour and therefore gray, white, some blonde hair and ginger hair will not respond. The LinScan Hair Removal Laser is effective in removing hair from dark-skin patients with the integrated sapphire contact cooling hand-piece protecting the surrounding skin.
Put simply, the LASER sends heat down the hair follicle where it destroys the root, preventing any future hair from growing.

The ideal combination for optimal results is dark hair on light skin. Although our LASER system can treat a broad range of skin and hair colour types, if you have extremely light hair, or dark or uneven pigmentation markings on the skin, a very specific LASER machine may be required.

I can happily provide advice at your initial consultation as to the suitability of our LASER hair removal system for your personal skin and hair type, and can provide you a referral if a specific machine is needed.

Blond, white or grey hair lacks melanin, which makes it harder for the lasers to work effectively, so those with very light hair may not be the best candidates for laser hair removal.

Shower Facilities
Before
After

We understand that it's not convenient for everyone to go home first to shower prior to coming in to visit us, especially with Melbourne's traffic congestion the way it is.

Shower facilities are available and complimentary here at The Body Barber™ should you like to freshen up before we undertake your service. All we ask is that you to let us know in advance so that we can allow sufficient time before the following client arrives.

All hygiene waxing we ask that you use our facilities prior to your treatment to make sure that you are totally clean. We are manscapists not agriculturalists and have no interest in composting.

Please read the 'Before' and 'After' before requesting a shower prior to, or after your treatment.
Before:

Having a bath or shower, before waxing is fine, the steam from a hot shower will open those follicles encouraging the hairs to be more easily removed, and therefore less painful.

Plus, who doesn't want to be clean and fresh when someone else is going to be very close and personal ?!

Don't use moisturiser or deodorant as this may form a barrier to the wax.
It's perfectly ok to have a shower after a wax, but take a cool or warm shower as your skin is still very sensitive. I recommend waiting at least 6 - 8 hours before having a shower so that you allow your skin to recover.

AVOID hot showers or saunas/steam rooms after you have had a wax as the heat may open your pores further, inviting bacteria into the skin. (see FAQs) Hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and sunbathing are a definite NO after a laser procedure.

The waxed area ought to be kept clean and nourished with post-waxing products to keep the skin smooth and healthy. Always, always, ALWAYS start exfoliating 48 hours after your wax, it'll slough away dead skin and discourage ingrown hairs.
