Laser Hair Removal - Photothermal method that destroys hair follicles through thermal damage. Not only must each follicle be damaged, but also the surrounding tissue, especially the epidermis, must be protected from damage.
Sunlight should be avoided during healing after this procedure. Of course no one can guarantee permanent hair loss. There is permanent hair reduction in 80-90% for 6-12 months but the procedure should be repeated about 5 times.

List of laser types:
- Alexandrite laser - Very useful in removing hair, tattoos, and visible leg veins. For hair removal were cleared by the FDA to market in the USA in 1997. Has a 755 nm visible light-near infrared wavelength. Good melanin absorption, albeit somewhat less than the now rarely used ruby lasers invented in 1960. Hair reduction about 85%.
Manufacturers: Candela, Cynosure - Diode laser - has 800 nm (deeper than alexandrite lasers) near infrared wavelength. Good melanin absorption, albeit less than that seen with alexandrite lasers and less risk of post-treatment pigmentary changes as compared to alexandrite ones. Hair reduction about 84%. diode laser devices are smaller than flashlamp devices (ruby laser, alexandrite, Nd:YAG lasers and intense pulsed light sources)
Manufacturers: Alma Lasers, Lasering, Lumenis, Asclepion - ND:YAG LASER - has 1064 nm (deepest laser penetration into the dermis) infrared wavelength. Less melanin absorption and less inflammatory pigmentary changes than seen with visible light wavelengths. Highly effective in inducing temporary short term hair removal.
Manufacturers: Cutera, Cooltouch, Cynosure, Focus Medical, Hoya ConBio - Intense Pulsed Light - Non-laser light source. Has wavelengths between 590 nm and 1100 nm. Risk profile similar to visible light lasers. Hair reduction about 64%.
Manufacturers: DermaMed International, Inc., Lumenis, Radiancy, Palomar.
No method of consistent 100% hair removal exists. Laser can destroy hair follicles via 3 mechanisms:
- thermal - due to local heating
- mechanical - via shock waves or violent cavitation
- photochemical - through generation of toxic mediators like singlet oxygen or free radicals.
Disadvantages of laser hair removal:
- possible adverse effects- hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, erythema, edema, scarring, pain,
and blistering
- about 5 treatments to have very good results
- is not very efficient in darker skin types
- protecting eyes during the process of laser hair removal
Adventages of laser hair removal:
- longer wavelengths and longer pulse durations are associated with a lower risk profile
- laser hair removal have a high level of effectiveness
- harmless while compared with electrolysis and waxing
- fits to all zones like face, bikini, upper lip, breasts and for men - upper arms, backs, chests
- long-term Laser Hair Reduction efficacy
