High Power Infrared Laser Diode

Lasers are used around the world for a variety of different medical and cosmetology means. From laser eye surgery to laser skin resurfacing, lasers literally change lives every day, and their advent has brought a whole new era to the fields. Thanks to lasers, people can achieve their long-term hair removal desires via laser hair removal.

The High Power Infrared Laser Diode and Hair Removal

A high power infrared laser diode is commonly used for laser hair removal treatments. In years past, laser hair removal was only recommended for people with an extreme contrast between their skin tone and hair color. An ideal candidate for laser hair removal had fair skin and dark hair, allowing the laser to easily differentiate between the skin and hair.

The diode laser changed all that, allowing people with darker skin to be viable candidates for laser hair removal. The diode laser emits high-powered infrared light and offers longer wavelengths. The laser has been shown to be safe and effective at removing dark hair on dark-skinned people. Unfortunately, the laser is not effective at removing blonde, gray or white facial and body hair so it's best that light-haired individuals avoid laser hair removal.

When you are choosing a laser hair removal clinic, inquire if they use a high power infrared laser diode. Ask what type of lasers they use and specifically what type they would recommend for your particular situation.
