Unwanted hair is a
common problem for both men and women and is often a deep source
of frustration and embarrassment. Laser hair removal is fast,
safe and effective. Large areas can be treated at each session.
It is a method of permanent hair reduction (clinical studies
show approximately 50% permanent hair loss after two treatments),
which has been developed from a combination of advanced technology
and extensive clinical research. |

Laser hair removal
systems gently remove unwanted hair. Laser light energy creates
heat as it passes through the skin and targets darker colored
pigment, melanin, found in the follicle and hair. By heating
up the hair follicle during its active phase, the laser disables
the follicle's ability to produce hair without affecting surrounding
tissue. In clinical trials to date using a number of different
lasers and intense pulsed light hair removal systems, some test
sites remained hair-free for up to 2 years. |

Human hair is made
up of three distinct parts: the bulb at the base of the hair
follicle that produces hair, the shaft, and the hair follicle
itself. Both the bulb and the shaft are hidden beneath the skin's
surface, with only the hair visible to the naked eye. Hairs
tend to move through staggered Anagen or growth phases, even
within a specific area of the body. |

There are several
laser and laser-like devices currently used for hair removal,
each with its own benefits. These include, but are not limited
to: Alexandrite: The long-pulse alexandrite laser penetrates
deep into the dermis where the hair follicles are located. The
laser then heats up the hair shafts and disables the follicles
in the active growth phase. Diode: The diode laser is made up
of small diodes or semiconductors that work together to produce
light. Because diode lasers have longer wavelengths than other
lasers used for hair removal, they may improve treatment results
on darker skin types. Light-Based Sources: Although not technically
lasers, intense pulsed light devices operate similarly to them.
These devices utilize a broad spectrum of light to treat a variety
of hair and skin colors as well as hair depths. Intense pulsed
light devices tend to be harder to adjust and therefore require
expertise for optimal use. Q-Switched Nd:YAG: This laser delivers
two different wave lengths of light to treat different hair
follicles at the same time. The first is an invisible infrared
light used to reach deeper hair follicles. The other is a green
light used for treating hair follicles closer to the surface.
