Laser Protection Advisory
At the British Institute of Lasers, safety is never an afterthought. Whether you're operating one of our professional-grade laser systems or expanding your clinic's treatment menu, understanding proper laser protection practices is essential to ensure the wellbeing of both practitioners and clients.
Why Laser Protection Matters
Laser hair removal and skin treatment systems emit high-intensity light designed to target specific tissues. While this makes them highly effective, it also means they must be handled with care. Improper usage can lead to unintended skin damage, eye injuries, or equipment malfunction. That’s why we advise all operators to follow our safety recommendations and industry best practices.
Core Safety Guidelines
- Protective Eyewear: Always wear wavelength-specific laser safety glasses—this applies to both the practitioner and the client.
- Training & Certification: Only trained and certified individuals should operate any laser or IPL device. All of our machines come with complimentary training.
- Treatment Room Setup: Laser rooms should have controlled access, matte surfaces, and appropriate warning signage at entry points.
- Skin Assessment: Conduct a full skin analysis before treatment. Our devices like the Nu TriLaze Plus include built-in skin analysers to help personalise and protect.
- Regular Maintenance: Ensure machines are serviced routinely to prevent output irregularities or unexpected hazards.
Our Commitment to You
Every device we offer is CE-certified, tested to meet strict safety standards, and designed with operator protection in mind. From built-in cooling systems to emergency stop features, our machines are engineered for both results and reliability.
