The working principle of laser hair removal is based on the principle of photothermal selectivity. Specifically, the laser device emits a beam of light of a specific wavelength, which is mainly absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles. Melanin absorbs the laser energy and converts it into heat energy, which destroys the hair follicles and inhibits hair regeneration. Because the laser energy can accurately target the hair follicles with less damage to the surrounding skin tissue, laser hair removal is a relatively safe and effective hair removal method.
Advantages of laser hair removal
1. **High precision**: The laser can accurately target the hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin tissue. It is especially suitable for sensitive areas such as the face, underarms, and bikini line.
2. **Long-lasting effect**: Compared with traditional hair removal methods (such as shaving, plucking, and waxing), laser hair removal has a longer-lasting effect. After several treatments, many people can achieve long-term hair reduction or even permanent hair removal.
3. **Fast speed**: Laser hair removal irradiates a large area each time, and can treat a larger area in a short time. For example, the hair removal process for the underarms or upper lip only takes a few minutes.
4. **Fewer side effects**: Modern laser hair removal devices often come with a cooling system that can reduce the discomfort that may occur during treatment, while protecting the skin and reducing the risk of burns or pigmentation.
5. **Widely applicable**: Laser hair removal is suitable for all skin colors and hair types. Although the results may vary depending on the color combination of skin and hair, by choosing the right laser type and settings, most people can achieve the desired hair removal results.
6. **Reduce hair regrowth**: Even if hair grows again, it will usually become thinner, lighter, and sparser.
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.
**Difference between 940nm laser and other three wavelengths**:
The commonly used wavelengths for laser hair removal are 755nm, 808nm, 940nm and 1064nm. The difference between them lies in their suitability for different hair types and skin tones.
1. **755nm (Alexandrite laser)**: Mainly suitable for light skin and fine hair. It has a shallow penetration depth and is more suitable for treating superficial hair follicles.
2. **808nm (semiconductor laser/diode laser)**: This is a widely used wavelength that is suitable for a variety of skin tones and hair types, especially medium-colored hair. It can penetrate deep into the hair follicles while causing less thermal damage to the skin.
3. **940nm**: This wavelength can penetrate the skin better than other wavelengths, reducing thermal damage to the epidermis and is suitable for people with darker skin tones. It is more effective when treating deeper hair follicles and can reduce the risk of pigmentation.
4. **1064nm (Nd:YAG laser)**: Suitable for people with darker skin tones, it can penetrate deeper into the skin. Due to its deep penetration depth, it is suitable for treating deeper hair follicles, but usually requires higher energy to achieve hair removal results.
