THE LASER SKIN HAIRLESS

Since the approval of the first aircraft, 13 years ago, the laser hair removal has been a growing success to become almost common usage in 2009.

What is laser hair removal?


The laser hair removal is to issue a ray of light, attracted by the melanin pigment (color) coat, will lead to the bottom of the bulb that will burn an almost final. The effectiveness of treatment varies according to the zoning process: underarms, bikini line and legs are where the laser works best.

Slay the hair by laser light


A laser hair removal is always done in several sessions, spaced a few weeks to reach all the hairs that are never in the same phase of life (ie during the stage known as anagen or growth efficiency of the laser is maximum). To avoid skin burns during the waxing , only a trained eye can adjust the camera precisely the color of the skin. It's the same for tracking the bad information, such as hairs and dark skin clear example. In the first case, the hair does not have enough melanin to carry the light of the laser safely, while in the second, the skin may be burned and, consequently, depigmented (or hyperpigmented).

Laser hair at all


Good news though! These cons-indications will soon be relegated to oblivion by two innovations: the laser diode 800 nm long-pulse, which is also effective for hair removal dark skin and thick hair, like the Yag-Nd laser 1064 nm which allows a hair reduction of 60 to 90% after three weeks.

As for the flash lamps, they can treat all skin types of skin as dark clear, that a laser can not often do (ask about the equipment used).

Good to know, in practice the laser


A hair removal laser requires:
- An average of 4-8 sessions per area
- An annual maintenance
- A budget (from 100 to 500 € the session, depending on area).

Caution with regard to the waxing of the eyebrows: it must be limited to the region inter eyebrow to avoid any risk that the laser reaches the iris of the eye.

The waxing hair on moles remains controversial for physicians. There was no evidence that it is dangerous ... but when in doubt, many dermatologists prefer to abstain.
