    Chilling Out: The Science Behind Skin Cooling in Laser Treatments
    2025/06/18
    In this episode, Lisa and Mike delve into the topic of skin cooling, particularly concerning laser and IPL treatments. Lisa and Mike discuss the science behind skin temperature, pain receptors, and the importance of cooling the skin before and after procedures to minimise discomfort and prevent thermal damage. Mike explains how cooling can significantly reduce pain perception and protect collagen, while also addressing common misconceptions about skin cooling methods. KEY TAKEAWAYS Skin cooling is essential during laser and IPL treatments to reduce pain and protect the skin from thermal damage. Cooling the skin before and during treatments helps lower the temperature of pain receptors, making the procedure more comfortable for clients. The skin's temperature typically sits around 35-36 degrees Celsius. Pain receptors (nociceptors) activate at 45 degrees Celsius, meaning a small increase in temperature can lead to pain. Ice packs are preferred for skin cooling because they provide efficient and deep cooling compared to air or cryogenic methods. Ice packs can lower the temperature of nociceptors significantly, allowing for safer and more effective laser treatments. Pre-cooling with ice packs not only reduces pain but also minimizes the risk of thermal damage, blistering, and pigmentation issues. There are misconceptions that cooling the skin can numb pain receptors to the point where clients cannot feel burning. However, cooling does not eliminate the ability to feel pain; it simply raises the temperature threshold needed to trigger pain sensations, ensuring safety during treatments. BEST MOMENTS "If you fire in laser energy or IPL energy then you can easily generate much, much greater temperatures, even over 100 degrees Celsius, which then leads to potential boiling and ablation." "I asked one of my dermatologist pals, Dr. Sidra, and she said, no, you're completely right. You won't burn the skin if it's cooled down fat enough." "The more you cool, the lower the temperature goes in the skin. Which makes sense." "If you cool the skin sufficiently, then it gives you a bigger margin to play with in terms of fluence." ABOUT THE HOSTS Mike began his career in medical lasers in 1986 with a physics degree and a post-grad in bioengineering. He helped develop the scar-free removal of tattoos using a Q-Switched Ruby Laser in Glasgow, and the world's first IPL system. Known well in the industry for his hard truths, no BS attitude and logical answers. As the author of three books, articles for medical journals, a well read blog, a Laser Protection Advisor and contributor to the BMLA, Mike is the Laser Guru. Lisa's claim to laser fame is being Mike's daughter. Growing up with lasers and never avoiding a physics lesson from her Dad, it was natural to enter the industry. Leaving a corporate career with a baby to jump into self employed life came with challenges. Despite that Lisa has been well recognised for her teaching style, practical tips, bringing the compassion to the science, and laser mentoring.

  • An interview with Claire Louise-Hutchinson

    An interview with Claire Louise-Hutchinson
    2025/06/11
    Join Lisa and Mike as they interview the vibrant Claire Louise, a laser technician from Ilminster, Somerset. The trio dives into Claire's journey from a 23-year career in pharmaceuticals to becoming a successful laser practitioner, highlighting the challenges she faced with inadequate training and the pivotal moment that led her to seek guidance from Mike. Claire shares her experiences with laser hair removal and tattoo removal, emphasising the importance of authenticity in the beauty industry and the supportive community they've built together. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being genuine and authentic is crucial in building trust with clients. Emphasising the importance of being oneself can lead to stronger relationships and a more successful business. Initial training in the laser industry can often be inadequate, leading to a lack of confidence and poor results. Seeking out comprehensive training and support is essential for success. Open and honest communication with clients about mistakes and learning experiences can foster trust and loyalty. Clients appreciate transparency and are often understanding when informed about changes in treatment protocols. Building a supportive community among professionals in the laser industry can help combat feelings of isolation and provide encouragement. Sharing knowledge and experiences can lead to collective growth and improvement. Understanding the science behind treatments and adjusting protocols based on client feedback and research can significantly improve results. This includes extending treatment intervals and using appropriate techniques to enhance client comfort and effectiveness. BEST MOMENTS "You just have to be your genuine, authentic self. Don't try and be something you're not." "I thought I was going to blow someone's leg off, Mike. These are powerful machines." "Every single one of my clients was fantastic. I put together a PowerPoint to show them all the things that we talked about." "If you don't know how to use it, you'll never get the results. Simple as that." "You have to manage your client's expectations on the journey there." ABOUT THE HOSTS Mike began his career in medical lasers in 1986 with a physics degree and a post-grad in bioengineering.

  • Does UV Absorption Really Matter with Lasers/IPL

    Does UV Absorption Really Matter with Lasers/IPL
    2025/06/04
    In this episode, Lisa and Mike Murphy delve into the critical relationship between tanning, UV exposure, and laser treatments. With the recent sunny weather in the UK leading to increased UV exposure, they discuss the potential skin damage that can occur, including hyperpigmentation and irritation, particularly for those with lighter skin tones. Mike explains the science behind how ultraviolet photons can disrupt skin DNA and the body's natural response of producing melanin as a protective barrier. KEY TAKEAWAYS Increased UV exposure from sunlight or sunbeds can lead to skin damage, including hyperpigmentation and irritation, which complicates laser and IPL treatments. The skin produces melanin as a protective response to UV exposure, but this process takes time. During this period, the dermis remains vulnerable to damage from high-energy UV photons. Performing laser or IPL treatments on already damaged skin can exacerbate issues, leading to prolonged healing times and increased risk of adverse reactions. The Fitzpatrick scale, which categorises skin types based on UV response, is often misused. Skin tone should be assessed based on melanin concentration at the time of treatment rather than relying solely on Fitzpatrick classifications. It's crucial to have clear pre- and post-care consultations with clients, ensuring they disclose any recent UV exposure. Consent forms should be used to protect practitioners from liability and ensure client safety. BEST MOMENTS "A tanned skin is a damaged skin. What it's masking is damage underneath. That's why the tan is there." "If you have a low level concentration of melanin then yes, that first few days of exposure to the sun or sunbeds is the same." "If the skin is already damaged previously by exposure to ultraviolet light then you're inflicting damage on damaged skin and therefore you're just accumulating more damage." "Make sure that your pre and post care and consultation forms are airtight. Clients lie. They're not going to tell you the truth."
