Laser Hair Removal Surgery - How Does it Work? 

Why laser hair removal surgery?

And laser therapy provides lasting results relatively quickly. Unlike shaving or threading, and once you get rid of the hair is gone forever. You can use laser treatment to remove age spots and facial hair as well. The laser energy is converted into heat, and therefore the destruction of the hair follicles, but does not damage the surrounding tissue. Once hair follicles are destroyed and not recovered or re-grow. Laser hair removal was discovered more than 2 decades ago. Since the mid nineties 19, became the laser surgery for hair removal are commercially available. And treatment is becoming very popular in recent times. Prices to come down and technology gets better.

How it works

Laser focused to a small area of ​​tissue under the skin. The idea is for heating the underlying tissue, where the hair follicles. Not heat the skin tissue at the top. It absorbs the laser energy by chromophores called. The chromophores are part of the organic molecule which makes them color. Color absorbs the laser energy, and is released as heat. Taken from the safety of laser hair removal very seriously. For this reason, you have to use eyegear security to protect your eyes from lasers. The flashes of laser medicine and from the handheld device to navigate the most. There is some discomfort, but most people are able to pay. Some people are more sensitive than others. For these people, a local anesthetic is available.

Laser wavelengths used to achieve results

Laser wavelengths used in surgery laser hair removal in the fall of a certain range. Waves can range from visible light to infrared, located at the border. Is determined by the wavelength of the laser beams by the method used in their manufacture. The laser wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm). Waves are the most common Nd: YAG: 1064 nm, and a pulsed diode: 810 nm Alexandrite: 755 nm, and Ruby: 694 nm, Argon: 488 or 514.5 nm.

Not only in the wavelength influence the outcome and duration (in time) of the laser pulses also play a role. For darker skin, and is recommended pulsewidths. Laser can also be a specific view. The show is also a factor in the final results. I used to think that the laser is as thin as a needle, but in fact as wide as a finger of the child. Must be submitted to the laser in approximately four times the depth of the target tissue. So far, there is another important aspect is the level of laser energy. Also called the flux level of laser energy. Then there is the repetition time between laser shots. It can fire two or more pulses in the same goal of helping to heat in a way that causes minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

What is happening in the target tissue?

Hair Removal Laser surgery works by destroying the hair follicles that produce the unwanted hair. Surrounding tissue can not be damaged. In the case of tissue damage a lot, and no injuries that can lead to scarring and irritation. Light is absorbed naturally dark materials. Hair follicles are a lot of dark materials, chromophores in and around it. Laser is directed to the center of the hair follicles dark and absorbs heat through it. , Will be enough heat destroys the hair follicles. And specific chromophores are carbon or pigment melanin.

This can produce skin carbon by staining carbon-based lotion to the skin. The downside of this is that this is that when the YAG focus of this carbon, and there is a high risk of damage to surrounding tissues. Also, not to achieve permanent hair removal by this method. For this reason, and this method is now considered obsolete. Hemoglobin in the blood is happening to us, and is responsible for red blood we have.

How many sessions are needed?

Depends on the area to be processed. In addition, gender plays a role. The thickness of your hair determines how long it would take the treatment, and therefore also affect pricing for laser hair removal. Certain areas of the body requires more processors and longer than others. Generally, you need anywhere in the 3-6 sessions to make a quiet place without problems.
