Laser hair removal is the most effective method for getting rid of unwanted hair on the body. You may get rid of your unwanted hair safely and permanently with laser hair removal, which is preferred by men or women frequently since it provides a definitive solution and since it does not cause any pain.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal, which is performed under the control of a physician, is the safest and most effective method of getting rid of unwanted hair.
Laser light targets melanin pigments. Laser light is absorbed by colour cells that are present in the hair. Laser light that is converted to thermal energy damaged the follicle.
Laser hair removal aims to remove hair permanently, and it may show its effects rapidly when it is performed by specialists and with the right devices. Persons, who are specialized in the field of laser hair removal, decide on steps that must be taken during the session by examining various characteristics of the area, on which laser treatment will be performed, such as colour and type of the skin etc. Laser systems that we are using in our doctor’s office are approved by FDA.
Laser hair removal must be performed in doctors’ offices. A physician, who may monitor treatment processes and who may provide a treatment when there are complications, must be available in doctors’ offices.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal is a medical practice, in which light beams are used to eliminate unwanted hair on the body. Laser hair removal treatment makes an impact by selective photothermolysis principle.
Laser Hair Removal Devices That Are Used In Our Doctor's Office
Our doctor's office performs procedures by using three different types of laser hair removal devices. These devices are listed below;
- Alexandrite Cynosure Apogee 5500 Laser
- Fotona Nd-Yag Lazer
- Q-Switch ND:YAG Laser.
Alexandrite Cynosure Apogee 5500 Laser
It is the laser that has a wavelength of 755 nm. Energy that is transferred in such wavelength is absorbed by melanin neatly, and thus, Alexandrite laser is quite effective on individuals, who have a light skin colour and who have black hair.
Alexandrite laser is still the most commonly used laser, which provides the highest patient satisfaction rate. It provides permanent results in a short period since 755-nm Alexandrite laser is focused on follicles, and the potential of spotting on the skin is lower.
Long-pulse Alexandrite laser, which has two wavelengths and which is being used in our doctor’s office, is a FDA-approved laser hair removal device, which ensures that we obtain more satisfactory results in a very short period compared to other laser hair removal applications.
Fotona ND:YAG Laser
ND:YAG laser may penetrate to the tissue deeper compared to other lasers, thanks to its wavelength of 1064 nm. It is not caught by any chromophore on the epidermis. Its target is not melanin, but follicles. Therefore, thin-thick hair or hair colour are not important. It may be performed on both light and dark skin.
ND:YAG, which allows working on dark skin without any burns or damages since it is a type of laser that has a low melanin absorption rate, is the type of laser that gives to the individuals with dark skin the opportunity to get hair removal laser treatment. Since there are no risks of burns, it may be performed either in the winter or summer.
Q-Switch Nd-Yag Laser
Q Switched ND:YAG laser is a technology that provides effective results on light coloured and thin hair, on which the effect of laser hair removal is low, as well as thin hair that remains after laser hair removal. It is ideal for individuals with thin dark hair on the facial area in particular. The Q-switch ND:YAG laser not only bleaches thin hairs and makes them invisible, but also allows them to be permanently thinned in following sessions. The bleaching of the hair is seen immediately after the session, but unfortunately it is not permanent. This procedure has to be re-performed after about 4-6 weeks. The hair thinning effect is permanent. Laser hair bleaching is a very easy and comfortable procedure. It is safe for any type of skin. It is performed safely in the summer.
What Areas Can Be Treated With Laser Hair Removal?
Armpit Laser Hair Removal
Armpit hair is not wanted due to hygienic and traditional reasons and since it causes a bad smell. Therefore, laser hair removal is one of the best alternative treatment methods for removal of armpit hair. Ingrown hair that form in the armpit area may be prevented by laser hair removal, and thus, hair submerged under the skin may be prevented.
Laser Pubic Hair Removal
Classical methods like waxing are suggested for pubic hair in general. Shaving is both difficult and risky due to curves. Therefore, laser hair removal comes to the forefront as a very painless and permanent solution instead of conventional methods.
Facial Laser Hair Removal
Hormonal diseases are the most important reason for facial hair. The cause of the disease must be detected for hormonal hair. Hormonal treatment must also be initiated with laser hair removal.
Laser selection is an important factor in treatment of facial hair. Alexandrite lasers may increase the number of hair in this area, rather than decreasing their numbers. Therefore, Diode laser must be preferred.
How Frequently Can You Do Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is performed at 6 to 8-week intervals in average. Remaining hair is removed by conducting a follow-up session 2-3 weeks after each procedure. Hair is not removed by any other method between sessions. Laser hair removal treatment is provided 6-8 weeks later when the hair begins to grow again.
How Many Sessions Do You Need for Laser Hair Removal?
Number of sessions varies from person to person since there is a difference between every skin type and hair structure. Also, relative area is determinant factor on the number of sessions, but 6-8 sessions are sufficient in general.
Hair intensity decreased in every session permanently by 15%-20%. You may only see the difference dramatically from the 3rd session. Number of sessions varies from person to person based on the recipients’ hair structure, skin colour and hormonal condition.
What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
- It may be performed on any part of the body.
- It takes a very short time compared to other hair removal methods.
- There are no restrictions imposed after the operation. You may go for swimming and have a shower.
- It does not leave any permanent marks on the skin. Mild redness that may occur due to the procedure goes away in a few hours.
- It is quite safe, practical and painless.
What Must Be Done After Laser Hair Removal?
- Prevent the affected area from contacting with heat for 24 hours after the procedure.
- Do not use blush and foundation for 24 hours after a hair removal treatment that is performed on your face.
- Do not contact with sunlight and do not go to sunbooths after receiving a laser treatment. Use high protection (SPF 30) sun creams when you are exposed to sunlight.
- One must refrain from doing irritant procedures, such as peeling or rubbing with a coarse bath-glove, on the affected area for 1 week after a hair removal procedure.
Selective Photothermolysis Principle
Colour pigment, which is referred to as the melanin, is the item that is targeted in a laser hair removal treatment. Melanin absorbs laser lights selectively. This laser light is converted into thermal energy by the follicle. This thermal energy shows its impact without making any damage on surrounding tissues and cells. Follicles are damaged a little in each session. They become unable to produce hair after almost 6 to 8 sessions. However, it is not effective on white hair that does not contain melanin.
Prices of Laser Hair Removal
Prices of laser hair removal vary based on the number of sessions, location of the affected area and type of hair. Low-priced filling procedures can mean filling with poor quality and unhealthy materials. Therefore, quality of the product and experience level of the doctor are very important details.
