What is the Effect/Working Mechanism of Laser Epilation?
What is the effect/mechanism of action of laser epilation?
In laser hair removal, the laser light targets the melanin pigment and reaches a high energy level in the hair follicle. The melanin in the follicle absorbs the energy of the laser light, causing the follicle to heat up and become damaged. This damage causes the follicle to lose its ability to produce new hair, preventing the formation of new hair. A high-energy laser light destroys the follicle, but does not damage other skin structures.
The most commonly used laser today:
Diode lasers are Nd:YAG laser and ice laser. Laser hair removal Laser hair removal is the most effective method to permanently get rid of your unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is a safe application approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1997. Since the hair removal laser has been approved by the FDA, it has been widely used in medical aesthetics. Nowadays, the most important method preferred in the fight against unwanted hair is laser hair removal.
Cooling in laser hair removal is an important factor that will help prevent damage to the epidermis, in other words, the upper layer of the skin. After the laser pulse, the heated epidermis needs to be effectively cooled. Laser hair removal systems use various cooling systems to cool the skin. One of the most commonly used systems is the spraying of a cooling gas onto the skin.
Diode laser hair removal "Diode laser" is a laser treatment method that aims to reduce unwanted hair. Since the wavelength of the diode laser is higher than other laser methods, effective results are obtained on dark skin, depending on the duration of the treatment.
Diode laser has a wavelength of 810 nm. Its wavelength penetrates deeper than the wavelength of the Falcon laser. Since it penetrates deeper into the skin, it is more effective in areas with dense hair. Diode laser can also be used on dark skin without any problems due to its long wavelength. Alexandrite laser epilation is a practical and effective method that can only be used on light skin types due to its technical features. Removing the hair from the surface immediately after the procedure increases satisfaction after the application.
The use of laser on dark skinned individuals increases the possibility of side effects. Falcon ice laser use may cause an increase in fine hair on areas such as the face and neck. It is not recommended to use in these areas even if the skin type is light.
Falcon laser is very resistant to melanin. Therefore, it can only be used on light skin types. This laser system gives very good results in appropriately selected people. However, in areas with high risk such as the face, hair may increase instead of decrease. The back, shoulder and arm areas are also among the areas where this laser is less effective. In particular, Nd-Yag laser laser hair removal is a system developed for very dark skin types. This is quite painful and limits the area of use of this laser compared to the other two lasers. This is a rare laser that is only applied to very carefully selected patients.
Diode, Falcon ice e and Nd-Yag lasers are laser systems used for hair removal. Each of these can be preferred in different situations, e.g. depending on skin color, hair type and the area to be treated. There is no best laser system. It is thought that all of them are suitable for use depending on their location to achieve good results.
