Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a laser to remove unwanted hair.
The laser used emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. Once the laser finds the hair follicle, it turns the light energy into heat, killing the hair root. The trauma done delays future hair growth.
Laser hair removal is for anyone who is looking to get rid of unwanted hair! The procedure can be done on any part of the body! Some of the most common areas are the legs, arms, underarms, Brazilian, back, chest, and face. The only areas we cannot treat are the eyelids and the areas around them, and we also can’t treat areas that have tattoos.
In order for laser hair removal to work properly, the hair must have a pigment. This is because the pigment in the hair is what absorbs the laser and kills the hair follicle. With that being said, laser hair removal is most effective on those who have dark pigmented hair. It is less effective on hairs that don’t absorb light, such as blonde and white hair. However, laser hair removal is effective for all skin types!
No matter your skin type, we have a solution for you!
Â
Believe it or not, there are a variety of lasers that are used to reduce hair. The top three lasers for hair removal are the following:
These are all different wavelengths, so it is important to know which is the best one for your skin type.
Â
The Alexandrite laser is extremely effective because it absorbs a lot of melanin (pigment)! This laser is best for skin types 1, 2, and 3.
Â
The Diode laser absorbs melanin slightly less than the Alexandrite laser. Because of this, the Diode laser is great for all skin types!
Â
The 1064 nm ND: Yag is the gold standard of all lasers because it is the safest! This laser is extremely effective and can be done on all skin types! It is also the best laser for skin types 4, 5, and 6.
Here at VIP Laser, we strive to have the best technology for our members, which is why we have the very new SPLENDOR X by Lumenis!
The SPLENDOR X is not like other laser hair removal machines. Unlike any other machine out there, the SPLENDOR X has a blend of two lasers, the Alexandrite and the ND: Yag Laser. This allows our technicians to create customized hair removal and skin treatments for any skin type.
The SPLENDOR X even allows us to do laser hair removal on someone who recently got a tan! If you just got sun, but you still have your tan after two weeks, don’t worry! We can still do your laser hair removal.
Â
The SPLENDOR X also has a greater spot size, allowing us to cover more area in a shorter time!
A full-body laser hair removal will take us no more than 30 minutes with our SPLENDOR X.
And on top of that, we can change the speed of the laser machine!
