“Again by Deka is the world’s fastest hair removal laser delivering effective and virtually pain-free treatments. With a 30mm spot size and the highest power available on the market, Again has the ability to perform full body hair removal in less than 30 minutes, while also treating vascular lesions, pigmentation and skin tightening.
Again combines two universal laser wavelengths: Alexandrite and Nd:YAG, along with Deka’s unique built-in MOVEO technology to provide speedy yet gentle procedures.
The 755nm Alexandrite laser is the ‘gold standard’ for laser hair removal and it is the only laser wavelength that effectively treats fine to medium light (but not grey) hair. The world’s only FDA-approved Alexandrite laser for skin types 1 – 6, the Again is also suitable for removing unwanted pigmentation, while the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser acts on the deeper layers of the skin, effectively eliminating defects caused by small blood vessels (hemangioma, capillary varicose veins, telangiectasia etc.) The ability to easily switch laser wavelengths with the touch of a button provides clinicians with the option to treat several aesthetic concerns in a single session – making it convenient and time-efficient for both clinic and client.
Additionally, the platform’s built-in MOVEO technology reduces energy loss on the skin, which means improved treatment outcomes and greater comfort. The MOVEO technology is individually tailored to the core functions of the Again platform, ensuring each of the procedures is performed as accurately, gently and efficiently as possible.”
LYDIA JORDANNE
Founder Lycon
What would you say has been one of the biggest game changes in skincare technology?
“The consideration in skincare when it comes to sun exposure has never been more important and fortunately, skincare products containing the latest developments in UV protection are more available nowadays. This is particularly important in Australia, where the harmful effects of the sun can be seen early and significantly contribute to the look of aged and/or damaged skin. We recognise the significance of protecting the skin, which is why we created the LYCON Skin Multi-Protection Day Cream formulated with SPF and the magical contribution of the outstanding antioxidant Yeast Beta-Glucan.”
