Hair Removal Machines

Hair removal machines are designed to destroy hair follicles for a smooth skin surface. Electrolysis and laser hair removal machines are most commonly used in the United States. Each is made for use only by trained professionals, although the FDA currently has no national regulations for administration qualifications. Each state decides its own laws regarding the use of hair removal machines, and many require that technicians be board-certified doctors.

The Science Behind Hair Removal Machines

Hair removal machines use lasers and the process of selective photothermolysis (the absorption of light into hair but not skin tissue) to permanently get rid of unwanted hair. Hair removal machines work best on growing hair follicles though, so a cycle of treatments is usually needed to eradicate all hairs in a given area. Most people need anywhere from six to eight sessions to see long lasting success.

Hair removal machines use lasers that range in wavelength from 694 nanometers to 1064 nanometers. The longer the wavelength, the more intense the light used to destroy the hair follicle. There are advantages of each level of wavelength, and only a trained professional can evaluate your skin and hair to match it with the correct laser.
