What is its principle? In recent years, with the development of laser technology and clinical application, laser hair removal has become the main means of removing unwanted hair with its convenience, safety and efficiency. The principle of laser hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis, so that a specific wavelength of laser light penetrates the epidermis (without damaging the epidermis), the hair follicles, the melanin in the trunk of the hair selectively absorbs the laser energy, thus making the hair follicles coagulate and necrotic by heat, and the hairs no longer grow. After repeated clinical application, the efficacy is reliable, has passed the U.S. FDA certification. 3.Is laser hair removal safe? Will it affect sweating? Laser emission only targets the melanin in the hair follicle, which is highly targeted. Hair removal will not affect sweating, because sweating mainly depends on small sweat glands, and the opening of small sweat glands is not in the hair follicle. Laser hair removal has almost no effect on the skin and is very safe. 4.How many times do I need to do hair removal? Generally, 3~6 times are needed. This is because hairs go through three phases: anagen, regression and resting phase. Only the hairs in the anagen phase have a role in removing. 5.What should I pay attention to before laser hair removal? Hair removal parts should pay attention to sunscreen one week before treatment, and hair removal parts should not be plucked, waxed or depilatory creams and other methods of hair removal before treatment. 6.Will the hair grow back after laser hair removal? After laser hair removal, most of the hairs will fall off, or the hairs will become thinner and lighter in color. In a few patients, the hair will partially regrow. White and very fine gray hairs are not good for hair removal.
