Hair Removal Systems

The problem of unwanted hair on the face and body is one of the most common aesthetic problems worldwide and affects both men and women.

Solution options

There are many different hair removal options, including shaving, plucking, depilatory creams, waxing, and so on, but most provide only temporary relief. Permanent, long-lasting hair reduction can only be achieved by applying high energy directly to the hair follicle. In the case of laser hair removal, this energy is generated by laser light.

How does laser hair removal work?

Complete removal or permanent reduction of unwanted hair growth using laser radiation is based on the scientific principle of selective photothermolysis, when a laser beam of the correctly selected wavelength is directed at the hair in the treatment area, the melanin contained in the hair and serving as a target for the laser absorbs the light, which is converted into thermal energy.

The accumulation of thermal energy leads to the destruction of hair follicles, as well as their associated stem cells and nourishing vessels, while the surrounding skin remains undamaged. Some follicles may not be affected as they are in a ‘dormant’ phase; therefore, multiple sessions at specific intervals are required to achieve complete removal or long-lasting results.

Laser energy targets the hair follicle, destroying it and inhibiting future growth.

For successful and safe laser hair removal, energy levels must be carefully selected based on each patient’s individual characteristics—such as skin tone, hair thickness, and hair color—to effectively damage hair follicles while leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected.

Hair removal for patients with dark skin is more challenging due to the high concentration of melanin in the skin, which acts as a competing chromophore. In such cases, laser hair removal may be more painful and less safe due to the increased risk of burns and hyperpigmentation.
