Laser hair removal is the only permanent method of removing unwanted hair that provides long-lasting results. In the laser hair removal procedure, the light emitted by the laser heats the melanin (pigment) in the hair and damages the hair follicle.The principle on which laser hair removal is based is called "selective photothermolysis". Due to its specific wavelength, the light emitted by the laser is absorbed by the pigment melanin, which is a constituent of the hair shaft, and not by the surrounding skin and thus thermally destroys the hair follicle.
For a successful laser hair removal, the laser must emit a pulse powerful enough and short enough to destroy the hair follicle before the surrounding skin is damaged. Therefore, the higher the peak power and the shorter the pulse, the more effective a hair removal laser is.
We will compare the most powerful diode laser sold in Bulgaria with the alexandrite laser in the Candela Gentle Max Pro Plus medical platform (Cynosure Elite+ has similar parameters). For this purpose we will use the technical specifications of the manufacturers and the experience gained over the years at Skin Line.
Using the powerful Cynosure Elite+ and Candela Gentle Max Pro Plus medical laser platforms allows us to offer our clients faster, more effective and more economical laser hair removal in Sofia.
Hair growth on the human body is cyclic and within 1 to 3 months it goes through 3 different phases - anagen, catagen and telogen. Only in the anagen (active) phase of growth, the hair is firmly connected to the hair follicle as it feeds from it. Therefore, laser hair removal can only damage the hair follicle when it is in the active (anagen) growth phase. To remove all the hairs in an area of the face or body, several treatments are needed at intervals.
Treatments are usually performed at intervals of 3 to 5 weeks and the number is individual. Depending on the treatment area and the colour and texture of the hair, the intervals can be longer and the specialists at Skin Line Sofia would advise on the interval to be in a particular case.
Choosing the right type of hair removal laser is paramount to the final results.
Two types of hair removal lasers are known – cosmetic and medical. Cosmetic lasers can be used by anyone and are relatively safe. Cosmetic lasers are also called diode lasers because they use diodes as the light source.
Unlike cosmetic lasers, medical lasers can only be used by medical professionals and require more advanced knowledge and skills. Medical hair removal lasers can be alexandrite or Nd:YAG lasers, depending on the wavelength they emit.
Choosing the right type of hair removal laser is paramount to the final results.
