What is Laser Hair Removal?

Question: What is laser hair removal? How does laser hair removal work? Which parts of the body is the process of laser hair removal practiced?
Answer: Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair using wavelengths of energy that is converted to heat, and ultimately destroying the follicle where the hair is regenerated. Laser hair removal does not permanently remove all the hair but does reduce the amount of visible hair. These wavelengths are attracted by the pigment melanin that is found in the hair follicle and burned or destroyed.
The wavelengths seek out the dark color of the pigment. This poses a bit of a dilemma when you consider that the epidermis is full of melanin. The energy of the wavelength has to penetrate the epidermis in order to direct the heat energy to the follicle. That would mean that your epidermis or skin as we know it would absorb a lot of the heat resulting in an inadequate heating of the intended follicle thus possibly destroying some skin cells.
The name laser is an acronym for light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation. Laser is merely applied to surgical operations and skin diseases using appropriately the wavelength emission method of the light. Laser also has a unique wavelength and single color attribute, which contribute the hair removal treatment.
When the laser is absorbed by the skin tissue, it generates thermal injuries on the skin tissue by converting into heat energy. The thermal heat injury of the skin tissue dissolves the tissue on degrees over 100 and cause scar arisen from irreversible degenerations on degrees of 50 to 100’. Reversible generation is generated under 50 degrees, and this makes the skin tissue possible to be restored into normal condition.
The laser hair removal method can be used on the face, armpits, eyebrows, legs, arms, chest back and abdomen. This hair removal system is medically know as epilation which means the removal of the entire hair including the part of hair below the skin; different from depilation which means to remove the hair above the skin such as shaving or using a cream removal system.
Side effects of laser hair removal can include blistering, discoloration after treatment, swelling redness and scarring. Sunlight should be avoided while healing after procedure.
Please make sure that you are being treated by a licensed professional, states regulate who can use lasers for various therapeutic procedures. Medial lasers are prescription devices available for sale only to licensed practitioners. You should check with your state medical licensing board to determine who qualifies as a licensed practitioner in your state.

Product Reviews
I’ve tried and tested many hair removal products and this Epila is by far the best I’ve ever found. To fair, it does take time to zap hairs one by one but what do you expect for a home hand-held unit? It is best if you have an “assistant” but you can do it yourself. Very high tech and well worth the money but don’t buy it thinking it’s magic and going to do the work for you.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 9. Very well made product.
Product Description
EPILA, a laser hair eliminator is manufactured on the basis of the scientific researches and up-to-date technologies. 808nm wavelength being used worldwide for hair removal has been proved to be an average of 80% effective for permanent hair removal by world leading research institutes and Universities. Even if the laser is not emitted directly on hair, it also has a hair removal effect by emitting onto the root of hair through the skin because 808nm wavelength penetrates deep into the root of hair About Laser The name LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Many people have a tendency to think that laser is having all-round capability to treat all of things, but in fact, laser is merely applied to surgical operations and skin diseases by using appropriately the wavelength, emission method of the light. Laser also has a unique wavelength and a single color attribute, which contribute to the hair removal treatment. Although the light emitted from sun is consists of different wavelengths of lights, laser is a light which has only one wavelength. In other words, laser has a characteristic, which respond to only one color. When the laser is absorbed by skin tissue, it generates thermal injuries on skin tissue by transforming into heat energy. Thermal injuries of skin tissue dissolve the tissue on degrees over 100 and cause scar arisen from irreversible degeneration on degrees between 50 and 100. Reversible regeneration is generated under 50 degrees, and this make the skin tissue possible to be restored into normal condition. It is applied to surgical operations and can treat a variety of skin diseases without causing any side effects. The laser destroys the root of hair by emitting it on hair or surroundings after being absorbed into pigment. Comes with adapter so Laser can be plugged into either US or European electrical outlets.
