How does blue light help acne?

Blue light at specific wavelengths (around 415nm) is absorbed by the bacteria that causes acne, creating an oxygen-rich environment that destroys the bacteria without damaging the skin.

Is there downtime after AC Dual treatments?

No, there is no downtime. You may experience slight redness immediately after the session, but it typically fades within an hour, allowing you to return to your normal activities.

How should I prepare for laser hair removal?

An initial consultation is required to assess suitability. Clients should avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, spray tanning, waxing, plucking, or bleaching before treatment. The area should be shaved before the appointment, and clients should advise Glow Luxe if they have recently used Accutane, antibiotics, or photosensitizing medications.

What body areas can be treated with laser hair removal?

Common laser hair removal areas include upper lip, chin, cheeks, neck, hairline, underarms, bikini, Brazilian, legs, arms, chest, and back.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides significant long-term hair reduction. Most clients require a series of treatments because hair grows in cycles. Some maintenance treatments may be needed over time due to hormonal changes, dormant follicles, or new growth patterns.

Is laser hair removal safe?

Laser hair removal is considered safe when performed by certified and experienced technicians using Health Canada-approved devices. Glow Luxe provides a consultation before treatment to review skin type, medical history, medications, and suitability.

How many laser hair removal sessions are required?

Most clients require approximately 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number of treatments may vary depending on hair colour, hair density, skin tone, hormones, and treatment area.

What should I expect after laser hair removal?

Mild redness similar to a light sunburn may occur and usually subsides within 2 to 24 hours. Treated hair may shed over the following 7 to 14 days. For the first 24 hours, clients should avoid hot tubs, chlorinated pools, tight clothing, and vigorous exercise that may create friction.

How AC Dual Acne Treatment Works

The AC Dual Applicator utilizes Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with SmartPulse™ technology to deliver precise bursts of blue and red light to the skin. This dual-action approach ensures that every aspect of the breakout is addressed:

Blue Light (415nm): Targets and eliminates P. acnes bacteria residing on the skin's surface and deep within the oil glands.
Red Light (630nm): Penetrates deeper to significantly reduce inflammation, calm redness, and promote faster tissue healing.

Our system features Real-Time Cooling, which continuously monitors the applicator temperature. This ensures your treatment is not only effective but also exceptionally safe and comfortable with zero downtime.

The Benefits of AC Dual

Clears Active Breakouts: By regulating sebum (oil) production and destroying bacteria, AC Dual stops current blemishes and prevents new ones from forming.
Smooths Discolouration: Effective at fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (red or brown spots left behind after a pimple heals).
Refines Skin Texture: Helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and reduces overall skin oiliness.
Boosts Confidence: Restore your natural radiance and feel comfortable in your own skin again.
