Our Staff
All staff using our superior machines have completed advanced training within this field, which is above the general standards of Council requirements within New Zealand.
Our Technology
Not all machines are created equal.
The output power the IPL machine generates is vital to ensuring long term results. At Chrysalis we have invested a lot of time ensuring our machines have the ability to heat the target sufficiently within the right thermal safety zone. This gives you the confidence to know you are receiving the best treatment in a safe and controlled manner, ensuring the greatest return on your investment.
Payment Plans
We have flexible payment options: 20% Deposit is required for all IPL programs. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment plans are available.
By signing up to one of the Chrysalis Advanced Skin Programmes you get access to weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment options debited from your account. We also offer Afterpay.
This is all determined by your hair's growth cycle. Intervals of anywhere between 4 to 12 weeks ensure your therapist is targeting your hair in its growth phase.
There are many contributing factors that determine your treatment programme. Ideally we recommend at least 8 treatments. In general you will see a 20% reduction after your first treatment.
When treating hairs with IPL the follicle needs to be heated to 65 degrees. Consequently, you will feel heat during your treatment similar to a hot rubber band flicking against the skin. Your therapist will work with your individual pain tolerance.
IPL is a heat treatment and therefore you should expect to feel hot. This is compared to a sunburn feeling. It can be soothed through cooling the skin with ice packs and applying a soothing lotion.
IPL relies on the light being attracted to dark pigment. If the hair does not have pigment the light will be absorbed into the surrounding tissue and provide little or no results. The more pigment within the hair, the quicker and more effective the results.
For maximum results we want the heat to be attracted to the base of the hair follicle. If there is pigmentation on the surface of the skin you risk the energy being attracted to the surface and not targeting the desired area.
Permanent hair removal can never be fully guaranteed due to the hormones within our body continually stimulating hair growth. When being treated with an IPL machine capable of delivering energy to a depth required to permanently damage hair follicles, you should expect long term results with a couple of new hairs coming through a year. This new hair grow is not coming from damaged follicles we have treated but completely new follicles. In general, if you are not getting hairier every year then this should not be of concern.
