Until the past decade or so, there was only one laser hair
removal machine and it was manufactured by a company called
Thermolase Incorporated. Today, there are many, many laser
hair removal machines. Doctors and technicians have their
favorites and a lot of opinions have to do with what kind
of material is used for the laser itself.
One of the most common as a laser hair removal machine is
the diode laser. Many professionals prefer this laser hair
removal machine because it has a longer wavelength and can
be used for people with all skin colors.
The rule of thumb for most professionals that do this type
of work is that the hair that is to be removed should be darker
than the skin. If it is not, then there is a chance that there
will be pigment discoloring and that can happen no matter
what kind of laser hair removal machine you use.
But with the Diode Laser, the chance of pigmentation happening
is much less. This is why it is one of the most popular lasers
used today. Also, it is fast and removes hair from large areas
of the body very quickly.
Another very popular laser hair removal machine is the Alexandrite
Laser. The strength of this laser lies in the fact that it
goes very deep into the skin and can kill hair follicles easier
than some others. It also is a laser hair removal machine
that can be used on all skin colors and hair types.
The Ruby Laser is one of the first of the machines to be
used and is actually best with light, fine hair. In fact,
it is frowned upon to use this laser hair removal machine
on dark skinned individuals, whether it is natural or a tan.
Also, it is slow because it only treats a small area at a
time. Slowly, clinics are phasing these lasers out.
Another widely popular (and gaining in popularity) as a laser
hair removal machine is the long pulse Nd:Yag Laser. What
is so good about this one is that it can be used on all types
of skin and colors of skin, even if it is tanned. The only
problem with this laser is that most times, a local anesthetic
has to be used so there isn’t any discomfort.
The last one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment
which are used as a laser hair removal machine is the Intense
Pulsed Light Devices. This actually is not a laser but are
used as such. Although these are effective, because it is
harder to operate, you need a very experienced technician
who is trained on this laser hair removal machine.
No matter which laser is used, it must be the one that’s
right for your skin, hair type and skin color. If you go into
a treatment center and there is only one type of laser hair
removal machine, ask them why and if it is perfect for all
types of hair and skin. If not, then you do not want to go
there.
No matter what kind of laser hair removal machine they have,
get several free consultations with different clinics. Also,
get referrals. If that isn’t possible, then go online
and go to a site which you trust and get information on specific
treatment centers there.
What are you waiting for? Now that you know about the laser
hair removal machine, you are ready to become hair-free!
