Why DEKA Again PRO Plus Is Changing Laser Hair Removal in Geelong
When considering laser hair removal, it is easy to assume that every device provides the same experience. In reality, laser platforms can differ considerably in their wavelengths, cooling systems, speed and ability to adapt treatments to different skin and hair characteristics.
At Vitality Laser & Skin, we believe the technology used for laser hair removal should be selected with the same level of care as the person performing the treatment. This is why we have introduced the DEKA Again PRO Plus, an advanced dual-wavelength platform designed to support fast, comfortable and highly customised treatments.
For clients seeking laser hair removal in Geelong, the DEKA Again PRO Plus gives our university-qualified Dermal Clinicians greater flexibility when creating an individual treatment plan.
What is the DEKA Again PRO Plus?
The DEKA Again PRO Plus is an advanced laser platform developed for hair reduction and a range of other aesthetic applications. Unlike devices that rely on one wavelength, it combines two complementary laser wavelengths:
- 755 nm Alexandrite
- 1064 nm Nd
Each wavelength interacts with the skin and hair differently. Having both available on the same platform allows our Dermal Clinicians to select settings based on factors such as your skin characteristics, hair colour, hair thickness and treatment area.
The device also incorporates DEKA’s Moveo HR technology. This method uses multiple controlled passes over a defined area, gradually building heat within the target while prioritising comfort.
Why do two laser wavelengths matter?
There is no universal laser setting that is appropriate for every client. Skin tone, hair depth, hair thickness and the area being treated can all influence how laser energy should be delivered.
The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength has a strong affinity for melanin, the pigment found in hair. It is commonly used for lighter skin characteristics and may be particularly useful when treating finer or lighter pigmented hair that still contains sufficient melanin.
The 1064 nm Nd wavelength penetrates more deeply and has a lower affinity for epidermal melanin. This can make it a more appropriate option for a broader range of skin characteristics when selected and operated by a suitably qualified clinician.
By combining these wavelengths in one system, the DEKA Again PRO Plus provides greater treatment flexibility than many single-wavelength devices.
This does not mean that every hair colour will respond equally. White, grey and some very light red or blonde hairs contain little melanin and may not respond effectively to laser hair removal. A consultation allows us to assess whether the treatment is suitable before recommending a plan.
How is DEKA Again PRO Plus different from other hair removal devices?
The term “laser hair removal” is sometimes used broadly, but not every hair-reduction device works in the same way.
Some systems use only one laser wavelength. Others use intense pulsed light, commonly known as IPL, which delivers a broader spectrum of light rather than a dedicated laser wavelength.
The DEKA Again PRO Plus stands apart through its combination of:
- Two complementary laser wavelengths
- Adaptable handpieces and spot sizes
- High peak power
- Advanced cooling
- Traditional pulse and Moveo HR treatment modes
- Settings that can be customised to the individual
These features do not remove the need for careful assessment or clinical expertise. Instead, they give a qualified practitioner more options when tailoring the treatment.
The quality of a laser platform matters, but technology is only one part of a safe and effective treatment experience. The clinician’s education, assessment, treatment selection and understanding of the skin remain equally important.
Designed with treatment comfort in mind
Concern about discomfort is one of the most common reasons clients hesitate to begin laser hair removal.
The DEKA Again PRO Plus has been designed with stronger cooling capabilities to help manage heat at the skin’s surface. Its Moveo HR mode uses controlled, repeated passes to gradually heat the targeted area rather than relying solely on individual high-energy pulses.
Many clients describe laser hair removal as a warm or snapping sensation, although experiences differ depending on the treatment area, hair density and individual sensitivity.
No laser treatment can be described as completely sensation-free for every person. However, adjustable settings, cooling and an experienced clinician can all contribute to a more comfortable experience.
Efficient treatment for different body areas
Treating a small area such as the upper lip requires a different approach from treating larger areas such as the legs, back or chest.
The DEKA Again PRO Plus offers a variety of selectable spot sizes, allowing the clinician to choose an appropriate handpiece for the treatment area. Larger spot sizes can support efficient coverage of larger areas, while smaller options provide precision when treating more delicate locations.
DEKA reports that the system’s increased power and range of spot sizes can reduce treatment times compared with earlier versions of its technology. Actual appointment times will depend on the area being treated and your personalised settings.
Can DEKA Again PRO Plus treat finer or lighter hair?
The DEKA Again PRO Plus has been developed to expand the range of hair characteristics that may be treated, including some finer and lighter pigmented hairs.
However, laser hair removal still relies on pigment within the hair to absorb the laser energy. Hair that contains very little or no melanin may not respond sufficiently, regardless of how advanced the device is.
This is why we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. During your consultation, our team will assess the colour, thickness and density of your hair before discussing realistic expectations.
Why the person performing your treatment matters
Advanced technology provides more treatment options, but it must be used with appropriate knowledge and care.
At Vitality Laser & Skin, laser hair removal is performed by a team that includes university-qualified Dermal Clinicians. Our clinicians draw on their education in skin anatomy, laser physics, treatment indications and risk management when developing each plan.
Vitality’s Dermal Clinicians are also members of the Australian Society of Dermal Clinicians, reflecting our commitment to professional standards, continued education and evidence-based practice.
Before commencing treatment, we consider:
- Your skin characteristics
- Hair colour, thickness and density
- The area being treated
- Previous laser or IPL treatments
- Relevant health and medication information
- Recent sun exposure or tanning
- Your treatment goals and expectations
This assessment helps determine whether laser hair removal is suitable and which wavelength and settings may be most appropriate.
How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
Hair grows in cycles, and laser energy is most effective when the hair is in its active growth stage. Because not every hair is in this stage at the same time, a course of treatments is generally recommended.
The number and frequency of appointments can vary depending on the area, hair characteristics, hormonal influences and individual response. Maintenance appointments may also be recommended over time.
Laser hair removal should be viewed as a process of long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that every hair will be permanently removed.
A more considered approach to laser hair removal in Geelong
Choosing laser hair removal is about more than finding the closest clinic or the lowest advertised price. The device being used, the person operating it and the quality of your assessment can all influence your treatment experience.
By investing in the DEKA Again PRO Plus, Vitality Laser & Skin continues its commitment to gold-standard technology, professional education and personalised client care.
