Pros and cons of laser hair removal (Part 1)

Pros and cons of laser hair removal

    Laser hair removal is good for a long time, because the effect of slowing down hair growth occurs after the first procedure, and to sprouting hair stopped for good, you will need several treatments.

What are the side effects and complications?

    With proper selection of the physical parameters of the patient and the laser should be no complications. If your skin is too sensitive or overstated the laser power can appear blisters, crusts, hyper or hypo pigmentation. To minimize the possibility of side effects of the procedure should be carried out trial. Even if you set up to remove all hair today do not insist. Laser hair removal procedure can be carried out within 124 hours after the test.

Pros and cons of laser hair removal

Does it hurt?

    Your feelings will depend on your individual sensitivity, the method of cooling the skin hair removal and place of the light beam. Patients describe their feelings words from the "do not feel anything," through "ordinary discomfort" to "short-term burning light."

What are the different lasers and what is the most effective?

    By the efficiency lasers for hair removal (ruby,laser hair removal , diode, alyuminievogranatovy) are virtually identical. Distinctive their scope and range of side effects: ruby ​​laser can be used in patients of type III skin types IIIIV patients increases the risk of hypopigmentation. laser hair removal allows you to remove hair without complications in patients IIII skin types, with IVVI as well as ruby, can contribute to a loss of pigment in the skin. Alyuminievogranatovy highly effective in blacks (although the risk of side effects is large enough). Diode lasers can be used in patients IVI skin types, but due to the rather short period of their existence in the market the whole range of side effects is not yet known.

In addition to determining the type of laser that best suits your skin, it is important to know the diameter of the pulse (beam). The diameter of the beam depends on the penetration depth in the tissue and energy efficiency, respectively. If it is less than 10 mm can not begin the procedure, as it will be ineffective. The largest diameter pulse available today - 18 mm, but 12 and 15 mm is acceptable. Equally important is the cooling system of the skin if it is insufficient, dramatically increases the risk of side effects. Recognized as the most effective dynamic cooling chladones whose parameters are adjusted depending on the pulse power. And perhaps most importantly, in whose hands is the laser, since the work of the laser equipment is more art than medicine, and how experienced and well trained physician, depends on the ultimate success of the procedure. The laser does not kill white hair and small.
