Which laser is most effective for hair removal?
Laser hair removal / epilation is an extremely popular treatment. What is it performed with and which laser will be the best? Read.
Lasers are the most modern technology used to remove unwanted hair. However, even in this field, there are many different solutions that allow for achieving the expected results. Let's look at them to be able to answer the question: which one is the best?
Types of lasers for depilation/epilation:
IPL Lasers
IPL lasers are technically photodepilation, not actual lasers - and it is this difference that determines their limited effectiveness. A broad spectrum of light causes part of the energy to be lost to the surrounding tissues, rather than to the
hair follicle, which significantly reduces the effectiveness of the treatment. In the best case
IPL leads only to depilation - putting hair follicles to sleep for 1–3 years, not to permanent epilation.
Alexandrite lasers
Alexandrite lasers are devices of moderate effectiveness, whose beam with a wavelength typically of 755 nm
penetrates relatively shallow layers of the skin. They are typically used for laser depilation, although newer models can sometimes also effectively epilate.
Diode lasers
Diode lasers are among the most effective devices for permanent laser hair removal - their beam with a wavelength from 800 nm is strongly absorbed by melanin and converted into thermal energy, which permanently damages the hair follicle. It is assumed that diode lasers are the best option for painless or low-pain laser hair removal treatments.
Nd:YAG lasers
Neodymium-YAG lasers are characterized by high effectiveness, however, their beams penetrate the skin with high power to a significant depth, which translates to clearly greater pain sensations than with a diode laser.
What laser is used for treatments at Ambasada Urody in Warsaw?
At Ambasada Urody in Warsaw, for painless laser epilation, we use the Mediostar Next Pro diode laser, which emits dual light wavelengths, allowing it to work at different depths and with different skin phototypes. Simultaneously, its cooling system and continuous operating mode allow for an effective, yet also fast and painless treatment.
