Quinn Clinics’ Guide to Shopping for Laser Hair Removal

Bristol (PRWEB UK) 30 June 2014

Laser hair removal is now one of the most popular non-invasive treatments in the UK, with more and more people discovering the benefits of permanent hair reduction. The increase in demand has inevitably led to a wider range of suppliers in the market with some offering very attractive prices, yet all laser hair removal is not the same.

Skin expert Dr. John Quinn, founder of professional skin treatment business, Quinn Clinics, is warning patients to choose their hair removal system and provider with care, and to help them make the right choice, has created a comprehensive Guide to Shopping for Laser Hair Removal in order to explain the options so that patients can make safe and informed decisions.

Dr. John Quinn, founder and medical director of Quinn Clinics, explains:

“The appeal of laser hair removal is now quite widely understood â€" permanent hair reduction means that people have smoother, healthier skin without the need to shave daily.”

“However, there is a plethora of laser hair removal systems available. These have differing features which can affect results depending on the individual’s own colouring and requirements as well as the skill of the laser therapist. It is really important for patients to make the right choice.”

The bewildering array of technology is certainly one of the more confusing areas for those considering laser hair removal. Quinn Clinics’ Guide to Shopping for Laser Hair Removal breaks this down into a simple explanation of the two main systems â€" laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) â€" explaining how they actually work in non-technical language. The Guide also includes a very helpful 10-point comparison of the advantages of laser vs IPL.

Dr. John Quinn continues:

“Safety should also be a big concern for anybody choosing laser hair removal. Some systems are simply less likely to cause problems than others. Understanding this is important in a market where people are increasingly tempted to shop around on price alone.”

“In addition, there is no legal requirement for practitioners or clinics/salons to be trained or registered in any way, but we help patients understand exactly what to look for in choosing a laser hair removal provider.”

“By explaining the choices and giving patients advice about their options, we hope that people are able to use the information to understand their options and make the right decision for them.”

Quinn Clinics is an independent, doctor-led company with skin clinics based in Bristol and London. Both clinics offer laser hair removal with highly trained therapists. They will shortly be offering a choice of technologies. The latest addition is the new Candela elōs Plus with Motif - a pain-free laser hair removal system â€" which complements their existing Lumenis machine, which works on a very broad spectrum of hair type and skin colour combinations. Quinn Clinics is the first and only company in Bristol to offer these advanced treatments.

Although many competitors charge for a consultation, Quinn Clinics offer a free appointment with a skin test to enable patients to assess the treatment without any cost or obligation.

Quinn Clinics also have a separate website http://www.bristollaserhairremoval.co.uk dedicated to those looking for the treatment.

The company enjoys an excellent reputation for customer service and has won a number of awards to reflect this. Both the London and Bristol clinics are fully registered with the CQC and have passed inspections with flying colours.

Quinn Clinics offer an unusually extensive range of cosmetic and medical skin treatments including popular anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and lip filler treatments. The clinics are equipped with the latest advanced skin treatment technology, including IPL, laser, CO2 and Pelleve radio frequency. They also tackle medical skin issues including acne, rosacea, thread veins and excessive sweating.

Laser Hair Removal in Tampa, FL at TLC Aesthetics

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) June 13, 2014

TLC Aesthetics is spearheaded by Dr. Charles Talakkottur, M.D. and we are pleased to announce laser hair removal for the entire Tampa, Florida area. Laser hair removal can be safely and effectively performed on most hair types with the exception of blonde, gray, and red hair. Unfortunately these hair colors don’t respond well to any laser in the world. TLC Aesthetics has the latest technology to perform laser hair removal on all skin colors and all body areas.

Laser hair removal is a process and requires more than just one treatment. Perhaps a more justified name is laser hair reduction as it is impossible to remove 100% of the hair but there is a significant reduction after about 5-7 treatments spaced weeks apart, depending on the hair that is targeted. Since hair grows in phases: growth, recession and a dormant type phase, it is essential to capture the hair during the growth and dormancy phases.

TLC Aesthetics is the leader in cosmetic treatments in Tampa Bay. Dr. Charles Talakkottur has been featured in many newspapers, magazines and TV including but not limited to CBS, NBC, and Univision. TLC Aesthetics performs many cosmetic treatments including botox, dermal fillers, scar reduction, stem cell therapy and the Vampire Facelift®.

Look Young Atlanta: Atlanta Laser Hair Removal Clinic Discovers Shocking New Trend Among Summer Customers

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 05, 2014

Women are getting hip to the money-saving benefits of laser hair removal. In their spa located in Midtown, Atlanta, Look Young Atlanta has been seeing a stunning increase in business. It seems the change has to do with the economy picking back up and customers looking to save money on expenses that they consider wasteful. Owner, Jodi Bell says, "They are abandoning their razors in droves, and joining the laser hair removal revolution as a way to save both time and money."

Over a lifetime, women spend more than $10,000 buying razors, creams, gels and other types of shaving products. The cost of the products is not the only thing crushing bank accounts across the nation. The 50 billion liters of combined water use also cost women big. When a person evaluates hair removal in terms of lifetime benefits, it is clear that laser treatment is a better investment.  

Surveys by the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons suggests that the number of women turning to laser hair removal is on the rise. Women are no longer sitting on the sidelines and accepting razors as the “normal” way of getting rid of hair. They are crunching the numbers and realizing that laser treatments are more cost-effective.

Laser treatments cost less than half of what a year’s worth of shaving costs. The difference is that laser hair removal is permanent. Once a woman pays the upfront fee for the service, she reaps the rewards of a hairless body without ever having to shell out another dime. Shaving, however, is only temporary. A woman who wants to stay hairless with this method has to continuously pay the hefty $10,000 a year price tag.

It’s not just about the money. The time commitment associated with shaving is an issue too. The average woman shaves about 12 times per month and spends about 10 minutes per session. Over a year’s time, these numbers add up. The resource of time is just as valuable as money. The sad thing about time is that once it’s lost, there is no way to earn it back.

Laser hair removal is a one-time procedure. Once the hair is removed from an area of the body, it’s gone for good. There is no maintenance needed to maintain the results. A woman can spend the next 50 plus years of life never worrying about shaving another patch of hair off her body.

Imagine how freeing it would feel to never have to search the couch cushions again trying to find stray dollars to buy a new razor blade. Imagine never having to dash to the store after a hard day’s work just to grab a can of shaving gel. The money and time saved over the course of a year can be put to better use. The value of both could easily add up to a tropical vacation.

The infographic on Look Young Atlanta’s website succinctly sums up the time and cost commitment involved in manual hair removal. Check it out here.

Dallas Dermatologist Pioneers Use of New Laser Hair Removal System

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Jun 2, 2014) - Dr. Martin Kassir, a leading dermatologist in the greater Dallas area, is the first doctor in North America to launch the use of a powerful new laser hair reduction system, Synchro REPLA:Y. With this innovative laser, Dr. Kassir is able to offer his patients fast, effective, and well-tolerated hair reduction.

With the Synchro REPLA:Y system, Dr. Kassir can deliver long-term or permanent hair reduction on any type of skin. The heart of the system lies in the powerful combination of two specialized lasers. The fast, precise energy from these lasers enables Dr. Kassir to successfully deliver a broad range of treatments on dark skin, fair skin, or ethnic skin. This type of performance cannot be duplicated by any other individual wavelength laser on today's market. 

"I like to pay special attention to emerging aesthetic technology," commented Dr. Kassir. "I often hear about new 'advanced' lasers, but they ultimately turn out to be inferior to the devices I already use. But when I heard about Synchro REPLA:Y, I was especially excited because it has so many features in a single system. This laser is a real advancement in terms of laser hair reduction. It's fast and reliable -- the top two things my patients want from a hair removal system."

Studies estimate that the demand for this type of treatment will increase almost 14 percent in 2014, ending with nearly 2.45 million patient sessions. Many of these potential patients have already contacted Dr. Kassir since he is currently the only dermatologist in North America to be able to offer the advanced laser technology of Synchro REPLA:Y to his patients. 

"Laser hair reduction has been a popular treatment in the past, but with this new advanced system, I think its popularity will be off the charts," said Dr. Kassir. "This system is really the only way for patients to get away from the complaints associated with traditional hair reduction. It's faster and more powerful, with the ability to micro-tune treatment to the patient's unique skincare needs. In essence, it just works more efficiently."

About Dr. Martin Kassir M.D., F.A.A.D.
Dr. Martin Kassir is a double board-certified dermatologist and internist who has practiced in Dallas for fourteen years. His practice specializes in aesthetic dermatology and laser procedures. Dr. Kassir received his M.D. degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and completed a residency in dermatology at Kansas University Medical Center.
