3D-Trilogyice in motion protocol ensures safe, comfortable and effective hair removal, rather than exposing hair follicles the single high energy pulses the 3D-Trilogy in motion protocol works by gradually heating the dermis and permanently damaging hair follicles whilst avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue.

The 3D-Trilogy in motion protocol of moving the applicator over the treatment area quickly enables full coverage whilst the contact cooling system ensures virtually pain free and effective hair removal.

The treatment is suitable for anyone who has unwanted hair in various areas of the face and body.

The technology can treat hair colour from golden blonde through to black hair.

Your therapist will advise further during a consultation to determine your suitability for treatment.

During treatment, the hand piece will be used in a gliding forwards and backwards motion over the skin.

The laser light safely and gently passes through the dermis allowing the laser light to be absorbed into the hair root destroying the cells so they can no longer produce hair.

You may experience a warming sensation in addition to a slight pinkness to the skin.

The treatment itself is virtually painless.

3D-Trilogyice can practically be used anywhere there is hair, including: underarms, legs, arms, face, pubic area, chest, back and buttocks.

This varies for each client and a treatment program will be devised on consultation.

A course of 6-8 treatments is typically recommended.

The time varies depending on the area being treated but typically range from 15 minutes up to 60 minutes per application.

Results can be seen from first session and improve throughout the course of treatment, best results around your third treatment.

Other than white and grey hair, all hair colours can be permanently reduced through treatments.

Dark hairs are most easily treated due to the high concentration of melanin that gives maximum absorption.

There is no downtime following the treatment, and you can return to your daily activities straight away.

Some people may experience a slight warmth or redness in the treated areas, but this is unusual and should disappear within a few hours.

Absolutely, laser hair removal is safe. The laser targets only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

You may experience some redness, but this should subside within 24 hours.

Laser hair removal is definitely the best solution to this problem, especially if you have coarse or curly hair and you find you have recurring ingrown hairs.

Because the laser is destroying hair follicles at the source the hair itself doesn’t get a chance to become ingrown.

PATIENT CONSENT: This is an informed consent form that has been prepared to help inform you of the potential benefits and risks of laser hair removal. It is important that you read this information carefully and discuss fully with your practitioner before proceeding with treatment. It is also important that you take as much time as you need to consider the treatment carefully, weighing up all your options before reaching an informed decision. It is essential that you are aware of your right to have a second opinion and you are encouraged to ask any questions that come to mind throughout the entirety of the process. Laser hair removal is a cosmetic hair removal procedure that uses laser energy to heat and destroy unwanted hair follicles. You will need regular sessions to prevent hair from regrowing as results are not permanent. On average a session to remove facial hair is usually done every 4 weeks whereas body hair every 6-8 weeks. Treatment courses are usually required to achieve desired results. I am aware that results vary between clients and results are dependent on many individual factors. I am aware that there is no guarantee that I will achieve my desired results and that multiple treatment courses are needed to maintain results. It is also important to note that laser hair removal works better on clients with fair skin and darker hair. I understand that for my own benefit I must follow the aftercare instructions given to me by my practitioner. On the day you will be offered eye protection and possibly a cooling spray may be applied to the skin before treatment. I understand that several appointments may be necessary to produce optimal results and I will be notified, in advance of each session of treatment, about the location where the next treatment session is going to take place and the identity of who is going to be involved in my care at each stage. I also understand that I will be kept informed of progress and that I can change my mind at any point.

RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS: As with any procedure there are potential risks and complications associated. Laser hair removal is a safe and low risk procedure, but you must be aware of the following possible risks before proceeding. You must fully discuss any questions with your practitioner. Common side effects include pain and discomfort during the procedure, laser is often described as feeling like an elastic band snapping against the skin. Following the treatment your

skin may be red, swollen and tender this should resolve within 48 hours but may last longer. Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after treatment and you will need to use regular SPF sunscreen for 4 weeks afterwards. Uncommon complications include skin infection (cellulitis) and changes in skin pigmentation to lighter or darker. Pigmentation changes should resolve within 6 months but can persist or become permanent in occasional cases. In some occasional cases clients may develop bruising, swelling blistering or crusting of the skin. If you experience any of these skin changes you should contact your practitioner as soon as possible. Rare complications include skin scarring which may be permanent in some cases despite treatment.
