CAUTION
Unfortunately in the last few years we have seen the emergence of
‘cheap’ IPL systems from overseas manufacturers, looking to profit on the
popularity of IPL/Laser treatments. These IPL systems are produced with limited
capability resulting in cheaper prices per session, yet ultimately require more sessions to achieve a result.
Many of these substandard IPL systems only have the capability to
‘shock’ hair into a regressive phase, meaning hair reduction is only temporary,
not permanent. They also have the potential to stimulate more hair growth (termed ‘paradoxical hair growth’).
Our CUTERA IPL is a proven Medical system which has the technology to
give optimal results. With extensive scientific studies and proven efficacy, it
was granted FDA approval (Federal Drug Administration of America) and approval by the Australian TGA.
The Dermal
Clinicians at Fletcher Brown have many years experience using medical grade
IPL technology and have completed a four year university degree covering all aspects of skin, plus the theory
& practicum of Laser & IPL Technology. We offer safer, more
effective IPL hair removal & skin rejuvenation treatments at an affordable
price.
Negative side effects are rare in the hands of
an experienced technician. Recently some Current affair programs have shown
some disturbing stories about poorly performed IPL treatments. Currently in
Victoria there is no regulation of the Laser/Light Industry
so it is up to the individual to investigate the Technicians experience and the
System being used.
Please be careful where you choose to have your
IPL performed!

qualification? Are they qualified Dermal Therapists or at minimum do they
