HOW DO LASERS WORK?

Lasers deliver an intense beam of light which are made up of

a single wavelength or colour. Skin is essentially transparent

to light in the wavelength range of 600-1100nm (nano meters),

while melanin containing structures will absorb laser energy

of this wavelength. It is therefore possible to target the hair

follicle which has a concentration of melanin without affecting

the surrounding area.

The light energy absorbed by the melanin pigment results in

the rapid heating up of the hair follicle. This heat destroys the

cells (papilla) responsible for hair growth. If adequate heating

is achieved, then the follicle is permanently disabled resulting

in a permanent reduction in hair growth.

SUITABLE SKIN TYPES

Melanin in the epidermis also absorbs the energy and limits the

depth of penetration of the laser light into the skin. Using a light

wavelength of 808nm enables treatment of relatively dark skin

as well as fair-skin types. However, laser hair treatment is not

suitable for Afro-Caribbean or black skin complexions. Laser

treatment is also ineffective in removal of white or grey hair.

Electrolysis should be considered as an alternative treatment.

As a guide, skin colours are classified by the Fitzpatrick skin

phototypes as described in the table opposite.

PATCH TEST

24 hours before treatment check for any reaction by treating

a small area first.

The + and - buttons increase or reduce power levels. Treat

several areas on each Power Level up to the maximum Power

Level for your skin type (see table). If you feel any discomfort,

the previous lower power level is the maximum power level

you should use.

A slight redness may occur, but not always, within an hour of

treatment. This localised redness is caused by the destruction

of the hair follicles and is quite normal. However, if any

redness remains after 24 hours this would indicate the power

level selected was too high for your skin type. Use the next

power level down during treatment.

NOTE: Skin colour varies on different areas of the body -

you may find that you need different power level settings for

different areas. Each area should be tested for the appropriate

maximum power level.
