Following on from my post of yesterday about the penetration of fluence into the skin, a few people were asking about the pain experienced by patients/clients. I had pointed out that a single pulse of 30 J/cm2 is much more effective than three pulses of 10 J/cm2 – regardless of whether its from a laser… Continue reading Pain and laser/IPL hair removal

Answer – yes!! Why? OK, so we need to look at where the light goes in the skin to answer that question… Someone asked me, recently, the above question relating to the treatment of hair. She said that she had been trained to apply three shots of 10 J/cm2 to the area, rather than one… Continue reading Is 30 J/cm^2 ‘better’ than three shots of 10 J/cm^2 in laser/IPL hair removal?

So, I thought I’d elucidate with a wee bit of physics… And I know how much y’all love physics!! Physics Back to… Continue reading More on tattoo ink colours and fluence
