Hair technologies
Hair removal is the most demanded laser treatment, patients from different ages & ethnicity request the treatment for a single purpose …a smooth clear skin.
While no single technology can fix all problems, all technologies tend to excel in treating one or two conditions & slightly improve the rest… you may need to prioritize the most potential conditions for your practice from the upcoming ones.
Selection of technology for hair removal is based on 3 factors:
-
Hair diameter: fine, thin or thick.
-
Hair color: fair or dark.
-
Skin color: fair or dark.
-
Results consistency & continuity .
Laser technologies used in hair removal target the melanin in the hair, the permanent hair reduction occurs as a result of the thermal damage of the hair follicle, therefore future hair regrowth is reduced.
The speed of energy delivery (pulse duration) determines the laser ability to remove hair, as a general rule of thumb: the shorter the lasers's pulse duration, the better its ability to remove thin & small hairs.
Skin cooling is required to protect epidermis from the thermal effect, the choice of an effective cooling technology enables energy delivery at a speed that is sufficient to destroy thin hair without affecting the epidermis.
