Nu eRays Plus

The Nu TriLaze Plus works by focusing the laser light on localised areas, targeting the melanin in the skin which is the key to follicle growth. It operates on three different types of lasers; Alexandrite, Diode and Nd:YAG - This gives the laser machine the flexibility of operating at three wavelengths: 755, 808, 1064nm respectively, allowing complete removal of the hair follicle for all skin types.

Unlike electrolysis, in which each individual hair is targetted, laser hair removal can cover larger areas of skin simultaneously, making every treatment cost effective, quick and efficient. However, care must be taken when using the machine to ensure other areas of skin remain undamaged.

Across the body, hair goes through several stages, and only the hairs in the growth phase - Anagen, can be affected by the laser. The other two phases - Catagen and Telogen, remain undamaged by the light as the hairs are unattached to the dermal base cells. An average of seven treatments, approximately three to eight weeks apart are recommended, depending on the area treated.

The machine can easily pay for itself in less than eight weeks based on average treatment prices, a minimum of four treatments a day, and a six-day working week.

Laser hair removal is considered semi-permanent, regardless of the laser machine used. The effectiveness of the Nu TriLaze Plus is dependent on the individual skin character, the area being treated, and the number of treatment sessions.

Generally speaking, your clients will be able to enjoy little to no growth for between 6 to 12 months, sometimes longer. You can also see the before and after results after using the Nu TriLaze Plus for laser hair removal towards the bottom of this page.

Laser hair removal is mostly effective on individuals with dark hair and light skin. This is because the laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle, and dark hair has more melanin than light hair. The contrast between the dark hair and light skin makes it easier for the laser to target the hair follicle.

For people with dark skin, laser hair removal can be less effective, or may even cause skin discoloration or injury if not done by a professional or with appropriate laser technology. The pigment in the skin can absorb the laser energy, making it harder to target the hair follicle specifically. But there are laser hair removal technologies like the Nd:YAG laser that the NuTriLaze Plus features that are safe for dark skin.

For people with light blonde, grey or white hair, laser hair removal is less effective as the laser relies on the contrast between the hair and skin, so the lack of melanin makes it more difficult to target the hair follicle. However, some hair colour with little melanin can still be treated with a laser with a larger wavelength such as the Nd:YAG laser.

All-in-one laser machines that offer multiple treatments, such as laser hair removal and tattoo removal, can be convenient for some practitioners as they can provide multiple services to clients, but they may not be as effective as dedicated machines for each treatment or economically viable as we'll discuss shortly.

They also come with higher risk - not necessarily because of the performance of the laser machine, but rather the reliance in having one machine carry out so many treatments. In the event the machine needs repairing at any stage then clinics are often forced to close down if they rely solely on one machine.

Results:

All-in-one machines are often less powerful and versatile than dedicated machines, as they are designed to perform a variety of treatments rather than being optimized for a specific treatment. This can result in less effective results and longer treatment times.

Dedicated machines are designed specifically for one treatment, such as laser hair removal or tattoo removal, and are often more powerful, precise, and effective than all-in-one machines. They have specific wavelength and settings that are tailored to the specific treatment, which can lead to better outcomes.

Additionally, all-in-one machines are less customizable and may not be as effective for certain skin or hair types. This can limit the range of clients that a practitioner can treat, and may not be suitable for all situations.

Business Perspective:

Having more than one laser machine offers the added benefit of being able to carry out more treatments over the same time period, so you are able to engage with a higher number of clients.

It is also the case that repairs and maintenance becomes more costly with some such all-in-one machines as the parts that make up them up are bespoke to the manufacturer. In some cases, and it happens more regularly than you think, some laser manufactures go into liquidation leaving clients with laser machines that are sometimes beyond repairable.

Leading brands in this industry such as Candela offer new laser hair removal machines upwards of $80,000 and refurbished models from $60,000.

Cynosure, another leading brand based, offer laser and tattoo removal machines for similar prices.

The Alma Soprano ICE which is quite popular in the Europe & UK, retails for approximately £35,000 upwards to £53,000 at its highest price.

In the UK, companies such as Lynton offer their Motus AY laser hair removal machine by Deka for approximately £60,000 - £70,000 as of 2023. We can't comment on the specification of their machines so we would refer to customers to do their own research.

Annual Servicing, £650 + VAT,

At British Institute of Lasers, our lasers are significantly less expensive while matching and often surpassing the specifications of leading players in this industry.
