Laser Hair Removal News

Laser hair removal treatments continue to evolve. Since the treatment's FDA approval in 1997, over 50 different laser models have been introduced. Most of these new models have hinged on updated laser components, such as xenon, alexandrite, Nd: YAG, and diode lasers. Keeping up with the latest laser hair removal news can help you ensure that you're getting the most up-to-date and efficient treatment method available.

One of the latest advancements to make laser hair removal news has been epidermal cooling. Epidermal cooling has allowed laser treatments to be more comfortable and have shorter, less noticeable after-effects. Epidermal cooling has also allowed lasers to be used at higher energy levels (or fluences) safely. Air cooling, contact cooling, and spray cooling methods have all been found to be effective in laser hair removal.

Lasers that are commercially available

The advance that many people have been waiting for has been the introduction of a laser than can successfully treat light hairs. Currently, the lasers that are commercially available are not designed to treat blonde or gray hairs, though these hairs can be lightened and thinned with laser treatments. However, lasers have been developed that are far more successful at eliminating dark hairs on individuals with dark skin, such as the Nd:YAG models.

In a field that's only roughly a decade old (in terms of commercial availability), it's safe to expect constant innovation and rapid changes.
