Laser Hair Removal
Photoepilation, or 'hair removal using
light,' has gained dramatic popularity over the past several
years. Excellent clinical results, as well as low-risk success
for many practices have contributed greatly to the sensation
of this amazing procedure.
While many methods can eliminate unwanted hair, very few can
eliminate hair regrowth while leaving the surrounding skin
undamaged. And photoepilation is quickly becoming the most
popular.
Lasers and light sources use the principle of selective
photothermolysis to eliminate hair and its potential regrowth
without damaging the surrounding skin. During a treatment,
light passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin
in the hair shaft. This absorption raises the temperature of
the hair follicle and thermally destroys the cells responsible
for regrowth. The attributes of the light (wavelength, pulse
duration and power) are chosen to ensure damage to these cells
and not the rest of
