Laser pigmentation correction
Laser hair removal works by using laser light to target the melanin in the hair follicle; this energy damages and destroys the hair follicle, preventing it from generating new hairs. The newest lasers on the market can now target the melanin in the root of the hair without dispersing into the surrounding skin, which may have a higher melanin content in Asian skin, allowing laser hair removal to function well on Asian skin.
The skin and hair of Asians differ from those of Caucasians for a variety of reasons. As a result, laser technology has progressed at different rates and with varying degrees of success for various skin types. We’ve arrived at the point where laser hair removal is a viable option.
Laser skin rejuvenation
Laser hair removal works by using laser light to target the melanin in the hair follicle; this energy damages and destroys the hair follicle, preventing it from generating new hairs. With their high melanin concentration, the newest lasers on the market can now target the melanin in the root of the hair without scattering into the surrounding dark skin, allowing laser hair removal to function efficiently on dark skin.
Due to the high melanin concentration in the skin, dark skin and hair require slightly different treatment than Caucasian skin and hair. Unfortunately, because lasers employed in the past picked up on the melanin in the skin rather than the hair follicle, it lacked the potential to be treated with lasers.
This has unfavourable side effects and couldn’t be used. Fortunately, because to technological advancements in the laser business, there are now lasers that can successfully and safely target only the hair follicle, leaving your skin unharmed.
Laser hair removal
The laser method affects hair follicles while they grow, which is called the anagen stage. When using a laser beam is producing accurately controlled pulses of light and affects the pigment or the melanin of the hair reaching into the existing hair follicles under the skin. Basically, the light burns the hair – directly to the root – harmlessly destroying it without burning the tissue or skin. This process is also called photothermal destruction.
Usually, photothermal treatments are courses of six or eight sessions, following the period when hair will be visibly decreased or permanently removed, and the skin will be smoother and healthier.
