WHAT IS LASER EPILATION?
Laser epilation is a type of process applied using laser devices with various wavelengths and energies in order to remove unwanted hair and hair in certain parts of the body. The way it works is that laser tools of different wavelengths send energy to the hair follicles, depending on the type of skin and hair that people have. While these laser beams affect the hair follicles, they do not harm the skin, and the hair follicles absorb the laser beams they absorb and are destroyed thanks to the melanin pigment they contain in their structure. After the examination by the doctors, if there is no situation that negatively affects the existing diseases of the people, anyone who has hair and hair problems can benefit from laser epilation. Laser epilation applications are performed under the armpit, genital area, legs, shoulders, back area, arms, mustache area, beard area and nape area.
When you go to the health center for laser hair removal, you will be told that your hair follicles are in different growth stages (anogen, catogen and telogen). In the anogen phase, the hairs grow. In the catogen phase, they enter the resting phase and grow at a slower rate. In the telogen phase, hair growth has stopped. Laser beams affect the hair follicles in the mature, that is, anogenous stage, and the hair follicles in other stages must also reach this stage. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for 3 or 4 weeks after the first session and for the hair follicles to reach the anogenous stage. A whole course of treatment will be completed in 4 to 6 sessions, but it is not possible to determine the exact number of sessions, because hair thickness and skin color differ between individuals.
TYPES OF LASER EPILATION
Today, the commonly used laser hair removal methods are as follows: “Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal”, “Diode Laser Hair Removal”, “Nd Yag Laser Hair Removal”, IPL (Intense Light Technology) and “Ruby Laser Hair Removal”. Now, let's list the features that distinguish these methods from each other.
Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal: Compared to other laser hair removal methods, the prominent feature of the Alexandrite laser is that it can be applied more quickly for both men and women. If laser epilation is to be applied to the whole body, it is reasonable to choose Alexandrite laser epilation. This laser device, which has a wavelength of 750 nanometers, allows easy access to the hair follicles just under the skin, does not cause any scar formation on the skin, and reduces the feeling of pain to a very low level as it has a cooling feature.
Diode Laser Epilation: The only difference from the Alexandrite laser epilation device is that its wavelength is larger (810 nanometers). It is the type of laser epilation that can reach the furthest place in the skin and is applied to areas with thick skin with settled hair follicles. Diode laser, which is the most applied laser epilation method to dark-skinned people, gives effective results even on very thin hairs living in the genital area.
ND Yag Laser Epilation: In this laser epilation method, laser energy is based on its highest limit and therefore it reaches the hair follicles in the skin very easily. This method, which can be used comfortably on both light-skinned people and people with thick and thin hair, also gives reasonable results in the armpits and genital areas.
Ruby Laser Epilation: The oldest among the methods we have counted so far is the Ruby laser epilation method and is not in demand today. This method, which is most effective on dark hair, can be effective on light colored hair the least.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Although it is often used for laser hair removal, IPL is not a laser system. It should be said that the wavelengths of the light systems used for laser hair removal vary between 755 and 1200 nanometers.
Ice Laser Epilation: The use of Ice Laser in epilation treatments coincides with a very recent year 2014. It is painless and has the feature of being the fastest diode laser hair removal technique. Thanks to the Ice Laser Hair Removal technology, it has been possible to reduce the session times by almost half, as well as the use of a cold and large treatment head, thus eliminating the feeling of pain that occurs very little. Ice laser epilation devices are consumable and can be applied to all hair types in four seasons. Ice Laser Hair Removal, which does not require the use of a complementary device, is not the latest product offered by technology.
COST OF LASER EPILATION AND PEOPLE TO WHICH IT CANNOT BE APPLIED
The cost of a laser epilation application is determined by the size of the area where the application will be made and the density of hair follicles there. If the hairs are dense and the area is large, the number of shots to be made with the laser tool will increase and the number of sessions will increase. Therefore, each person and this person
There are different prices for the region or regions where the application will be made. It is more reasonable to apply laser epilation to people who have completed the age of 18, because the hair and hair growth of most people is not completed until this age. The more melanin pigment that the hair follicles contain, the more effective the laser epilation application will be.
During the laser epilation process, which can be applied to all parts of the body except the eye area, your eyes are protected with special glasses. In addition, some cosmetic products such as creams, oils and make-up should not be used in the application areas. Thanks to the cooling laser epilation application, which has been in demand recently, it has been possible to reduce the feeling of pain to very low levels and to eliminate problems such as scarring on very sensitive skin at the same time.
