Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a laser, or a concentrated beam of light, to get rid of hair in different areas of the body.

Laser hair removal is currently the safest, fastest and most long-lasting hair removal technology. A laser of a specific wavelength directly illuminates the hair follicle through the epidermis. 

The melanin in the hair follicle and hair shaft selectively absorbs the light energy and the thermal effect produced destroys the hair follicle to prevent hair growth without affecting or damaging the normal skin tissue, resulting in safe, comfortable and permanent hair removal.

In hair removal treatments, lasers are used to selectively target hair follicles with concentrated light energy, effectively reducing or eliminating hair growth over time. The most commonly used laser types include diode lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, and alexandrite lasers, each selected based on skin tone, hair type, and treatment area.

Diode lasers are among the most versatile and are particularly effective for medium to darker skin tones. Their deeper penetration allows them to reach the hair follicle while minimizing damage to surrounding skin, making them suitable for various body areas.

Nd:YAG lasers, with their longer wavelength, are the preferred choice for darker skin types. They penetrate deeper into the skin with less melanin absorption in the epidermis, reducing the risk of burns or pigmentation changes.

Alexandrite lasers are ideal for lighter skin tones and work well on fine to medium hair. They operate at a shorter wavelength, which is efficiently absorbed by melanin, allowing for fast and effective treatments, especially on larger areas like legs or back.

Choosing the right laser depends on individual factors such as skin pigmentation, hair color, and density. Diode lasers offer broad applicability, Nd:YAG lasers are safest for darker skin, and alexandrite lasers are optimal for fair skin and quick sessions.
