How Safe is Laser Hair Removal

Now tweezers and waxing are the things of old. Hair removal is no longer a painful job. Epilation is now an easy task to accomplish. With the help of laser technology you can painlessly remove hair. laser hair removal lets you do the same in simple steps. There are many options available with our company for consumers. However you have to be careful with a few things. Some services use old technology that is known as intense pulsed light (IPL). This technology is very old and does not offer complete hair removal. It is important for the consumer to understand that using the right technology is important so that no disaster occurs after surgery.

The word laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. This is a device that creates and amplifies a narrow, intense beam of coherent light: the light that has a frequency. Lasers are commonly used in medical science and more recently cosmetic as hair removal.

In a laser, the atoms or molecules in a Crystal, like Ruby or Garnet, are excited in what is known as the laser cavity so that more of them are in higher energy levels are to lower energy levels.

Reflective surfaces on both ends of the cavity reflect and permit energy back, building the power in each step.

Laser depilation with the laser penetrates the top layer of the DermIS with a specific wavelength of light (as opposed to longer wavelengths used in bright light Pulse treatments), targeting the melanin in the hair follicle.

A hair follicle is a SAC from which hair grows, and where the Sebaceous (oil) glands open. The follicle is lined by cells derived from skin (outside) layer of the skin.

Each follicle air passes through a five-year cycle as normal growth and rest, with about 90 percent of the follicles in hair growth at any time, with an average of about 15 cm of growth per year.

Also called pigment, melanin is the substance that gives skin and hair its natural color. It also gives color to the iris of the eye, feathers, and stairs.

In humans, those with darker skin have more melanin. Conversely, those with less pigment that colors the skin clearer and fairer.

Melanin provides many benefits to humans. One of the most recognized benefits involves the Sun's ultraviolet rays.

Melanin provides a natural protection against the harmful effects of such radiation. However, it does not provide total protection from the Sun, and people with darker skin tones are still at risk from the harmful rays of the Sun.

When the laser hits the melanin harms and destroys the hair follicle regrowth potential. The wavelength of light (755nm) improves the accuracy of processing and gives far greater results. In 755 nm laser can get better penetration into the hair follicle. For people with dark hair and light skin, this is the ultimate in hair reduction.

The new 755 nm laser hair removal uses a special cooling system which lowers skin temperature during and after laser exposure.

This is why the treatment is considered to be much less painful than other treatments. Some patients have compared the treatment to the feeling of shooting a rubber band.

For your safety, the ownership and operation of lasers in most Australian States is highly regulated. Clinics need to have a driver's license a proprietary, licensed clinical, safety managers, authorised operators and equipment license, why very few clinics are licensed.
