How Hair Removal by Laser Works

This page provides laser hair removal information and facts. It explains the method of permanent removal and how it destroys hair permanently. The information in this guide is based on various reports and articles that have been written Laser hair removal works by sending a beam of laser light to a group of hair follicles with enough power to disable or destroy the root, but not enough power to harm the surrounding skin. 

This process is called selective photothermolysis. It is selective because it targets only the hair and not the skin. 
Photo means light and thermolysis means destroying with heat. The surrounding skin is usually cooled. Some methods include a gel, a spray, or a cooling tip.

The Laser beam finds the hair follicles by targeting the substance that gives skin and hair dark color-melanin. Therefore, the ideal candidate for laser has dark hair and light skin. The laser will work diff on people with red, white, gray or true blond hair. 

How many treatments will I need? The number of treatments needed depends on the area to be treated, the hair density and the contrast between the hair and the skin color.  The more there is a contrast between the hair and the skin color, the less treatments you need.  You might therefore only need one treatment. However, since some hair follicles may enter their growth cycle after your treatment, 2 to 6 treatments are needed, in average, in order to achieve optimal results. In most cases, a 50% hair reduction is observed after an average of one to two treatments.  Each treatment can be given at three weeks or longer intervals (2-3-4-5-6 months), depending how far you are in the treatment.  The exact amount of time that the hair stays gone depends on the area being treated as well as the settings in accordance with the client's hair and skin factors. 

Hair Removal by Laser is NOT ELECTROLYSIS. Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs one-at-a-time by directing an electric current into each hair follicle. There are several factors that a laser technician can often control to customize a treatment for efficacy, safety and comfort:

  • Pulse length- long pulsed lasers are considered safest.
  • Fluence- Selection of energy levels can be varied for skin type.
  • Delay- The time in between pulses of light affects how much the skin and hair follicle are allowed to cool off
  • Spot Size – Affects the speed and penetration of the laser. A larger spot penetrates deeper. A good selection of spot sizes helps the technician reach the hair at the depth at which it grows.
  • Cooling- The surrounding skin may be protected by a gel, spray or cooled tip pressed against the skin.

How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion is one of the more resent skin-care techniques to have crossed over from Hollywood to the mainstream.It's being advanced as an "instant facelift- an effective alternative to costlier and more invasive procedures like plastic surgery,chemical peels and Botox injection. Recently more and more men trying it instead of pursuing cosmetic surgery. 

So what exectly is microdermabrasion, what does it promise and what effect does it actually have on your face?
Basicaly, microdermabrasion is general term for the aplication of tiny rough grains to buff away the surface layer of skin.Manny different products and treatments use this metod Think of microdermabrasion as being dermabrasion's little brother. Like dermabrasion, microdermabrasion involves removing some of the upper skin layers. .

Microdermabrasion, however, doesn't go as deep. Another major difference is that microdermabrasion uses crystals to remove the skin, while dermabrasion uses a rotating wheel or wire brush. We sometimes think of it as the difference between sandblasting (microdermabrasion) vs. rotary grinding or sanding (dermabrasion). We has compiled this section of the site for our visitors who want to learn more about microdermabrasion. Our hope is that this section will provide you with a good foundation for understanding microdermabrasion. While we have done our best to collect information for you, please realize that microdermabrasion section cannot answer all of your questions.
