GOMECY 940nm laser hair removal machine can improve skin quality while safely and effectively removing hair due to its unique penetration depth and dual absorption ability of melanin and hemoglobin. It is particularly suitable for dark skin and deep hair follicles. This gives it a unique advantage over other wavelength laser hair removal machines, especially when dealing with difficult hair types and skin areas.
Before laser hair removal, there are several important precautions to follow to ensure the best results and reduce potential side effects:
### 1. **Avoid sun exposure**:
- **Sun exposure**: Avoid sun exposure or tanning equipment for at least 4-6 weeks before laser hair removal. Sunburned or tanned skin increases the risk of side effects during treatment, such as pigmentation or skin damage.
- **Sunscreen**: If you need to go out, be sure to use a high SPF sunscreen, especially on exposed areas such as the face and arms.
### 2. **Avoid light-sensitive medications and cosmetics**:
- **Medications**: Some medications (such as certain antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs) may increase the skin's sensitivity to light. Before laser hair removal, it is best to consult a doctor whether these medications need to be discontinued.
- **Skin care products**: Skin care products containing light-sensitive ingredients (such as tretinoin, exfoliants containing AHA/BHA) should be discontinued one week before laser hair removal to avoid additional irritation to the skin.
### 3. **Shave instead of plucking**:
- **Shave**: Shave the hair on the treatment area 24-48 hours before laser hair removal, but avoid using depilatory creams or plucking tools. Shaving can preserve hair follicles, while plucking or using depilatory creams will destroy the hair follicles and affect the effect of laser.
- **Plucking and waxing**: Avoid plucking, waxing or using depilatory creams at least 4-6 weeks before laser hair removal, as these methods will remove hair follicles and reduce the effectiveness of laser hair removal.
### 4. **Clean skin**:
- **Clean skin**: Make sure the skin is clean before treatment, and no skin care products, perfumes, cosmetics or sunscreen should be applied. The skin in the treatment area should be kept clean and free of oil.
1. **Skin type**: Four-wavelength lasers usually include wavelengths such as 755nm, 808nm, 940nm, and 1064nm, and each wavelength has different effects on different skin types. For example, the 755nm wavelength is suitable for light skin, and the 1064nm wavelength is more suitable for dark skin. Therefore, when the machine is used in different parts, the appropriate wavelength can be selected according to the skin type.
2. **Hair type**: The thickness and color of hair on different parts of the body are different. For example, the hair on the face is usually fine, while the hair on the armpits and bikini area is usually thicker. Therefore, choosing the right combination of wavelengths can better target the hair types of different parts and achieve better hair removal results.
3. **Sensitive areas**: Some parts of the body, such as the face and bikini area, have thinner and more sensitive skin. When using the four-wavelength laser hair removal machine in these areas, it is usually necessary to adjust the laser energy output, use lower energy or multiple low-energy treatments to reduce skin irritation and discomfort.
4. **Treatment time**: Because the four-wavelength laser hair removal machine can adapt to different hair and skin types, it can more efficiently treat large areas (such as back, legs) without long treatments.
5. **Safety**: The four-wavelength laser hair removal machine is usually equipped with a cooling system to protect the skin during treatment, especially when treating sensitive areas. The cooling function helps to reduce discomfort and side effects.
### The difference between 940nm laser and other bands:
1. **The difference from 755nm laser**:
- 755nm lasers (such as alexandrite lasers) have a higher absorption rate for melanin and are suitable for fine hair removal on light skin. In contrast, the 940nm laser has a slightly lower absorption rate for melanin, but penetrates deeper and is suitable for treating deep hair follicles.
2. **Difference from 808nm laser**:
- 808nm laser (commonly used in diode laser hair removal) is a classic wavelength that balances melanin absorption and penetration depth, and is suitable for a variety of skin types and hair types. The 940nm laser is slightly longer than 808nm, providing deeper penetration and is suitable for treating deeper hair follicles.
3. **Difference from 1064nm laser**:
- 1064nm laser (such as Nd:YAG laser) has deeper penetration and is suitable for dark skin and deep hair follicles. Although the 940nm laser does not have as deep penetration as the 1064nm, it absorbs melanin better, so it may be more effective when treating certain intermediate-tone skin types.
