Laser Hair Removal Explained

<h1>Laser Hair Removal Explained</h1>Author: <a title="Dr Bassi" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/dr-bassi/75909.htm">Dr Bassi</a> The answers are complex- it maybe the laser system used, the systems can range from IPL, single wavelength or radio frequency systems. Intense pulse light laser system deliver a range of wave lengths to the skin to put it simply, think of Intense Pulse Light as generalised cluster bombs hitting the skin, these systems are commonly used in beauty salons. The singe wavelength systems, deliver a single wavelength of light to the skin …think of these systems as smart precision bombs hitting the skin, delivering precise single wavelengths to the skin.  Examples of these lasers are Lghtsheer Diodie   (810nm wavelength) Laserscope Lyra (1064nm wavelength) and Alexandrite laser (755nm wavelength). Radio frequency systems, use radio waves with the Intense Pulse Light technology, example of these systems are the syneron laser systems. All these systems have certain advantages and disadvantages, they can treat only certain skin types, treat certain colours of hair and their efficiency varies. Like mobile phones and television sets every year, new laser technology is evolving which purports to give an edge to its predecessors, with respect to laser hair removal. The cost of these laser hair removal systems can vary from £10, 000- £80, 000!  In my opinion as there has been no real head to head clinical trials between the systems, one must rely on the original gold standard the Lightsheer diode laser, which has stood the test of time, delivering speedy treatments and excellent results. Interestingly the Laserscope Lyra Laser system results are compatible to the Lightsheer system. In summary, if the clinic has a decent laser system, and selects to treat clientelle with the appropriate type of hair and colour its technology can treat and use pre-treatment topical anaesthetic followed by ice packs to give post treatment pain relief. There is then no reason why exceptional results cannot be obtained with minimal discomfort. Dr. S.R. Bassi is the lead cosmetic physician at a top Cosmetic clinic in North Nottingham.
