Laser Hair Removal

Epilation performed by laser was performed experimentally for about 20 years before it became commercially available in the mid 1990s. Sometimes, light and laser based techniques are known as photoepilation or phototricholysis. Another method is the use of selective photolysis, which is light energy that is produced by the laser, and is targeted at the pigment in hair. This causes destruction of hair follicles while sparing surrounding structures (i.e., the skin). Efficient Laser Hair Removal was produced by Alexandrite and Diode lasers.  Dark skinned individuals could not use these lasers for effective hair removal because early generation lasers were unable to distinguish between skin pigment and hair follicles, which led to the burning of those with darker skin. The advent of the new laser line, the YAG, and the re-invention of the IPL system has afforded excellent results for individuals with dark skin and dark hair. Hair color and skin type are the key factors that influence the success of laser hair removal. It's most successful on people with dark hair (brown or black) and light skin. In addition to lasers, some light-based epilators use a xenon flash lamp which emits full-spectrum intense pulsed light (IPL). Sometimes, treatment with this equipment is considered as laser hair removal. Laser light is used in laser hair removal techniques for removing unnecessary hair from body. This technique is used on the legs, face, arms or other parts of the body
