Laser hair removal is the destruction and weakening of the unwanted hair follicle in the body by using the laser beam. This method offers more painless and more permanent solutions than other epilation methods. Laser epilation application is based on the destruction of the hair and hair follicles in the desired area by the concentrated laser beam.
What are the Types of Laser Hair Removal?
In our time, there are three laser models preferred in clinical and individual applications. These are as follows;
Diode Laser,
Alexandrite Laser
ND Oil Laser.
How is laser epilation done?
Laser epilation is sending a beam to the desired area in the body. The beams that the laser epilation device throws into the body reach the melanin pigment that gives colour to the hair by scanning the determined area. The laser beam absorbed by melanin turns into heat in the hair. Thus, the hair weakens. After these procedures repeated in sessions, hair follicles and hair become almost non-existent and the person gets rid of unwanted hair.
Before laser epilation, the skin type and hair analyses of the person are made and the appropriate device is selected. Because there are many laser epilation devices and heads on the market and they have different features from each other. For this reason, before the laser epilation application, the person who wants the application is checked by a specialist and the appropriate device and method are determined.
Who is laser epilation applied to?
Although the age recommended by experts for laser epilation application is 18 years old when the person completes his/her development, it may be even earlier in some special cases. Everyone's development, hair structure and skin type are different from each other, and therefore the age of starting laser epilation also varies.
Who is not allowed laser epilation?
There are hair types for which laser epilation is not recommended by experts or laser epilation device cannot be effective. In such cases, laser epilation is not applied to the person. The situations where laser epilation is not performed are as follows:
It is not performed on people with fine quince hair or white colour hair.

Armpit hair is the most commonly demanded unwanted hair. Armpit hair is undesirable for hygienic reasons. For this reason, it is an area where both men and women frequently apply. It takes an average of 4 to 6 sessions.
Laser epilation applied to the genital areas is sometimes undesirable for personal reasons. But when wax is applied to this area, it is a painful and difficult process.
