how the humble ice pack can change the laser hair removal game

At Wax It Bristol, we believe laser hair removal should be done right. That’s why we’ve invested in advanced technology + training that allows us to deliver real results. 

No gimmicks, no marketing bs. 

We use the highest power 5000w Eneka diode laser — a medical-grade system designed to target hair follicles effectively and safely.

Alongside this high power is our method of “contact skin cooling” aka the ice pack. Iykyk 😉 🧊 

By cooling the skin all the way through the epidermal layers, we are able to use higher fluences (energy levels) without damaging the skin. 

Laser hair removal is about heating the hair follicle hot enough to destroy the stem cells. Higher fluence = greater heat + more chance of killing those suckers! 

Side note :  there’s no such thing as “pain free laser” - there I said it! 

Anyone selling you laser that you "don’t feel" needs to jog on. Pain free laser translates as

“we keep the fluence low so you don’t feel it and you have keep coming back for more and more treatments” 🤨

With contact skin cooling we can reduce the sensation while still keeping the energy high! Win. Win

Cooling the skin properly also helps mitigate some of the normal laser side effects following your appointment. We can reduce the redness, inflammation in the hair follicles & that slight sunburn sensation by contact cooling after you've been zapped. 🆒

so while we know some of you hate the ice pack (promise it's the worst bit), there's really good reason, it's why our laser clients are already seeing those amazing results! ⚡️
