Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular techniques for removing unwanted body hair.

Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular techniques for removing unwanted body hair. Much of the reason this technique has become popular is that it has the capability to permanently remove unwanted hair, without causing a lot of pain.

However laser hair removal procedure is fairly expensive, and you may have to visit a clinic multiple times to get the results you desire.

Also, laser hair removal will not work for everyone as its effectiveness is highly dependant on skin pigmentation.

Laser hair removal works by shining a laser onto the skin where it gets absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicles. Ironically, nobody is exactly certain what causes this hair removal process to work. But it is believed that the heat generated at the hair follicle by the laser breaks down that follicle so that it will no longer grow hair.

In some cases it is possible that the follicle may be damaged but not permanently destroyed. Since hair grows in cycles in some cases people have had hair come back after undergoing laser hair removal. The laser can be modulated so that it goes through the skin and directly to the hair follicle without causing significant pain or discomfort.

Laser hair removal does not work for everyone. Results will depend on your skin type. Generally speaking, the results are best with people who have fair skin. However if your skin is too light colored it still might not work. For people with lighter hair, or people with little melanin in their hair it might not be as effective. Be sure to fully understand the benefits to your skin type before paying the money to try laser hair removal.

The laser hair removal procedure is quite simple. A practitioner will guide the laser over the body areas to be treated. Typically this will take about one hour for an entire set of legs.

In order to prevent the skin from getting burned various gels and cooling sprays are rubbed onto the area to be treated prior to the laser beam directed towards the hair follicles. When you have the procedure done you’ll wear protective goggles to prevent any possibility of the laser impacting your eyes. This removes one of the potential dangers that could exist by having a laser used on your body in this fashion.

Laser hair removal is effective at removing hair all wide range of body parts. Effective areas that are treated include the legs, chest, back, under arms, and facial hair. The chin and the upper lip are the most commonly treated areas.

Laser hair removal can be quite expensive, especially if you have a large area to be treated. In many cases it will take four or five treatments to get the results you are looking for. However, laser hair removal offers a superior alternative to other more painful or less permanent techniques of removing unwanted body hair.

If you are considering trying laser hair removal procedure to remove unwanted body hair, be sure to research practitioners in your area and ask for references.

Laser hair removal might be the right solution for people with light skin and dark hair. But for others laser hair removal will not be as effective. For those who are not good candidates for laser hair removal, or anyone else who is concerned that the procedure might not yield permanent results, electrolysis might be a better alternative.

At ASLMS in Boston, Quanta will participate in Fotona’s US launch the newest Aesthetic Laser, the Fotona XP MAX - high power Long-Pluse Nd:YAG Laser System. Quanta Technologies is the largest Western US distributor for Fotona Lasers. For more information visit www.QuantaWeb.com

Today, Quanta Technologies, the largest Western US distributor of Fotona lasers, helped to launch the new XP Max high power Long-Pulse Nd:YAG Laser at the 26th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Laser and Surgery in Boston. First launched in Europe last Fall, the Fotona XP MAX is the ultimate laser system for laser hair removal and aesthetic procedures. With its superior power and energy generating capabilities, combined with the purpose-built, revolutionary, S-11 scanner, the Fotona XP MAX is already proving to be an enormous success, setting new standards for speed, treatment and efficiency in laser hair removal.

The purpose-built S-11 scanner provides an unprecedented scan area of 42cm2 (6.5 x 6.5 cm), and allows repetition rates up to a maximum of 75 Hz. In addition unlike any other scanner currently available on the market, the S-11 scanner supports three spot sizes: 3, 6 and 9mm, to control penetration depth, improve accuracy and influence the treatment speed in large areas. With the 9 mm scanner spot size, energy can now penetrate even further during scanner procedures, reaching deeper-lying skin structures for more effective treatments.

To deliver three different spot sizes for the S-11 scanner, and to operate at speeds that none of Fotona’s rivals can match, the Fotona XP MAX provides superior output power. With output power of 130 Watts, the Fotona XP MAX is not only the most powerful system available today, but also the fastest, delivering unmatched scanning sequence speeds.

The Fotona XP MAX supports effective spot sizes from 2 to 20 mm, again surpassing current industry standards. A 20mm spot size enables practitioners to reach deep lying hair and skin structures that are difficult to reach with the scanner, such as bikini line and armpit hair. To achieve this spot size the Fotona XP MAX delivers a maximum pulse energy of 120J, the highest of any of its competitors.

Because fine light hairs and small skin structures have a very short tissue relaxation time they have proven quite difficult to treat effectively. In order to treat them, high peak power pulses are required so that they can be thermally affected before the tissue relaxation time is reached. The Fotona XP MAX introduces the new ACCELERA Mode designed precisely to generate extremely high peak powers in a single pulse. This innovative feature means that the ACCELERA mode is the perfect mode for removing light, thin hairs, treating fine vascular structures on the skin and for providing skin rejuvenation treatments. It is also designed to work seamlessly with the S-11 scanner.

The Fotona XP MAX is an extension of the well-known and successful DualisXP range. In addition to easier, faster and more efficient hair removal over large surface areas, the system can be effectively and efficiently used in many other aesthetic procedures such as acne treatments, rejuvenation treatments and vascular lesion treatments.
