Electrolysis Lamp Laser Hair Removers

Laser Hair Removers

When talking about laser hair removers, there are two different types. Both employ light to generate heat. There are laser type hair removers that use an actual laser and there are IPL or Intense Pulsed Light units that use a high intensity xenon light. Both units are usually called laser hair removal systems as the work by the same principle of using high intensity light to generate heat that acts on the hair follicle. The heat is repeatedly applied until the follicle is disabled resulting in permanent hair loss.

Since the mid 1970′s, laser hair removal has been available to the public. But with new technology, the units have become small enough to be available for home use. These home laser hair removers are considered safe and effective for permanent hair removal. They have the same high success rate at hair removal as the large units of the past.

Heating by light energy or photothermolysis is how laser hair removal works. The laser penetrates the skin by acting on the melanin contained in the hair follicle. The light travels through the skin acting only on the follicle. Reapplying the laser continually heats the hair follicle disabling it and resulting in permanent hair loss. Laser hair removers work best on users with light skin and dark hair. This allows for successful penetration of the skin by the laser. They can be used anywhere on your body for both men and women.

Repeated re-applications of the laser are required for permanent hair loss. As all users are different, the number of treatments will vary. Most users can see visible results within the first 2 or 3 treatments and permanent hair loss is seen with as few as 5 treatments with the laser hair remover. You will have to wait 4 to 5 weeks between each treatment depending on your skin tone and hair color. Few users report discomfort with the usual side effect being redness, itching or swelling.

The cost of the device can range from $200 to $1000 and will vary with the type and number of accessories (replacement lamps etc.) included in the set. The size of the application area will also vary with the larger lamps costing more as they can treat a larger area decreasing the time required for each treatment.
