Skin Laser

While laser hair removal treatments are relatively new, the industry is still making large advancements. The first ruby laser had very specific limitations, as it was only effective in treating those with light skin and dark hair. A lot of laser equipment still relies on a significant color contrast between hair and skin tone. However, other laser hair removal techniques have been developed that close that gap.

Comparing Skin Laser Equipment

Alexandrite, diode and Nd:YAG skin lasers have broadened the spectrum of individuals who can benefit from laser hair removal. These newer methods still rely on skin to hair contrast, but are better targeted to different skin tones. If you're interested in permanent laser hair removal, it's a good idea to talk to a professional about the best laser type for your skin and hair tone.

Many people wonder how a skin laser works. The term "skin laser" is actually a misnomer, arising from the fact that repeated laser treatments can result in smooth, hair-free skin. The actual treatment works by targeting dark pigments found in hair follicles. The follicles are heated and rendered unable to grow hair, but the actual skin is left safe and unharmed. While puffiness and redness are common immediately following the treatment, these symptoms are completely temporary, if experienced at all. FDA testing has found hair removal laser treatments to be both safe and effective in limiting new hair growth.
