Now, there’s a question! During our recent sunny weather here, some people exposed themselves to too much ultraviolet radiation – they got a tan!! Does this mean we cannot treat them with laser and IPLs? Let’s discuss… We hope you enjoy, Mike.

Our latest podcast discusses the issue, which keeps popping up, of using lasers or IPLs whilst pregnant. My lovely daughter, Lisa, is currently pregnant. She wanted to know if she could continue treating whilst under the influence of pregnancy. So we had a wee chat about it… Hope this helps, Mike.

This is our latest podcast in which we discuss an age-old topic – which is better, lasers or IPLs? Since the advent of IPLs many have discounted them, making all sorts of claims against them.
