PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION USING
INTENSE PULSED LIGHT
Cutera Prowave 770
Unwanted facial and body hair can now be a thing of the past with treatment using the Cutera ProWave 770™ IPL permanent hair reduction system. Both men and women are choosing to use IPL technology to permanently reduce unwanted hair and never again need painful waxing, electrolysis or razors! Cutera Prowave is safe, fast and comfortable and usually requires only about 6 treatments.
The ProWave Difference
The ProWave permanent hair reduction system delivers a specially tailored light source for permanent hair reduction. It is Cutera's newest innovation in this field and allows treatment for a wide range of skin types, including darker skin. An additional benefit of the Prowave is the ability of the handpiece to quickly and safely treat large areas such as women's legs and men's backs. The handpiece is cooled, making it more comfortable during treatments; this cooling also minimises adverse reactions commonly seen with other IPL hair removal systems
What areas can be treated?
We can treat any area with actively growing dark hair. Areas typically targeted by ladies include upper lip and chin, armpit, bikini line including G-string and brazilian, as well as chest. Men might wish to permanently reduce the density of their facial hair growth, or to treat their backs or chests.
What do ProWave treatments feel like?
When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No local anaesthesia or pain medication is required.
What are the possible side effects?
Although most people experience few side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and localised swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn. These effects typically last a very short time with a maximum of only a few hours.
How does ProWave compare with electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each individual hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to each - one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. By delivering light energy to hundreds of hair follicles with a single pulse, Cutera ProWave effectively treats in just seconds an area which would take over an hour with electrolysis.
Is Cutera Prowave approved and registered with the TGA?
Yes, the Cutera Xeo platform is approved and registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
