Laser hair removal | the rundown
Selective photothermolysis
Laser hair removal directs a carefully timed pulse of laser energy at the area where you want to get rid of unwanted hair. The laser passes through the skin and is absorbed and converted to heat energy at the hair follicle.
This process, photothermolysis, destroys the dermal papillae that the hair-growing tissue needs, thus disabling the follicle from growing hair again.
IPL vs laser hair removal
If you’re unfamiliar, IPL means “intense pulsed light.” Sure, it pulses, and it’s light. But it’s not a medical grade laser.
A true laser utilized for permanent hair removal, will operate at either a 755nm wavelength (Alexandrite fluence) or 1064nm (ND:YAG fluence). It treats a myriad of skin tones for permanent hair reduction. Traditional laser devices only came equipped with one of the two wavelengths. They allowed practitioners to treat only certain skin types. Some practitioners would manipulate the treatment settings to deliver ineffective results to unsuitable skin types.
A medical grade laser will have both wavelengths available for optimum laser hair removal results.
The difference between electrolysis and laser hair removal.
