What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser epilation is the healthiest and fastest method to get rid of unwanted hair. The basis of laser epilation is that the laser energy applied to the skin reaches the hair follicles.
The follicles absorb this energy thanks to the melanin pigment, causing the hair follicles to be destroyed by heat energy or to lose their ability to grow. Anyone who has completed hair formation and does not have any health problems that would prevent the application can have laser epilation. Since white hairs do not contain color pigment, they will not be affected by laser epilation.
To Whom Can Laser Epilation Be Applied?
We can apply laser epilation to hair in all tissues except the eyes and the area around the eyes. Special glasses should be used to protect the eyes during the procedure, and there should be no oil, cream or make-up on the area where laser epilation will be applied. Application times may vary depending on the devices used and the areas to be treated. For example ; It can take 5-6 minutes for the face area and 1 hour for the leg area. Since the skin is not allowed to heat up in cooled laser devices, the possibility of skin burns is low. A slight tolerable pain may be felt during application. After laser epilation, short-term redness may occur and this is temporary.
What is the Effect of Laser Epilation?
Since laser energy is also absorbed by the melanin pigment in the skin in dark skin, side effects may occur if the appropriate laser system is not selected. For this reason, it is recommended that you choose laser epilation centers that have all laser types in their device inventory and use quality, FDA Approved devices. In very light hair, the full effect may not be seen due to melanin deficiency, at this point ice laser epilation (cooled ironing-diode laser) is effective.
Since the first laser procedure may affect the roots that are growing at that moment and the effects of the laser epilation process vary from person to person, these procedures should be repeated for at least 5-8 sessions in order to get definitive results.
