About this episode
Sia Hendry has been at the forefront of skin and laser treatments in Australia for over 15 years and owns You by Sia in Bondi Junction, one of the first Australian clinics to offer laser hair removal. Tiarnna Smith has a background in medical engineering and is a clinical application specialist at Alma Lasers, supporting customers with training and education.
Laser hair removal is the most popular cosmetic treatment in Australia. We reflect on how that came to be, then compare older technology with Alma's Soprano Titanium.
We cover how laser hair removal works, wavelengths (755, 810 and 1064 nm), pain and cooling, why multiple sessions are always needed, reducing adverse events with automated settings, treating skin of colour and tanned skin, blonde and red hair, medications to check, and how upgrading technology has improved Sia's business and staff satisfaction.
