Velvet skin
The new technological developments make laser hair removal suitable for every type of skin and every season of the year.
Laser hair removal is the only scientific method for permanently getting rid of unwanted hair growth, while it is the most popular laser treatment in the dermatology clinic. Traditional hair removal methods have been creating various skin problems for years, while they could not give definitive results. Laser hair removal aims to permanently reduce hair growth for velvety skin forever. Until recently, this particular method was prohibited in the summer months due to the intense sunlight and tanning of the skin, as conventional Alexandrite laser technologies could not be applied in the summer. Thanks to new technologies with contact cooling systems and successive low-energy pulse passes, hair removal is now performed with absolute safety on all skin types and hair colors all months of the year. This sophisticated technology has the important advantage of a painless result, without complications, from application on blonde fluff to hard dark hair. The Alexandrite Moveo head and the Soprano Ice Alex are machines that feature these new technologies.
DIODE LASER
With a longer wavelength and acting deeper in the skin, diode lasers are the most popular in Europe. They allow hair removal even on dark skin, while the 5th generation machines, such as the Soprano Ice Titanium, with the synergy of three different wavelengths (Alexandrite, diode, Nd:YAG) at the same time, ensure comfort and speed of treatment. Patients, and especially men, prefer them for the speed they offer, with an average duration of treatment on the legs of 15-20 minutes, as well as their painless application.
THE DETAILS
During the course of laser hair removal sessions, the hairs at some stage weaken and become fluff, then one needs to change technology and prefer, for example, diode lasers or systems with technology of successive low-energy pulse passages. In severe tanning, Alexandrite technology is contraindicated and diodes and the Nd:YAG laser are preferred. Nd:YAG works more deeply without being absorbed by the skin's melanin and is the safest option for tanned skin. It is important that patients learn about the machine, the method and discuss it with their dermatologist. Careful planning of treatments based on the amount of melanin, hair analysis and individual history determines the correct choice of laser type and its parameters. It is almost unlikely that irritation or reaction will occur when there is certified equipment, experience of the operators and the signature of a dermatologist.
