Going to a professional clinic for laser hair removal, it turns out that the offer is so wide that it is not as simple a matter as you might think. The choice of lasers is large, without knowing their characteristics it is difficult to choose the best one for yourself. What are the types of lasers for hair removal and what are their characteristics? How do you choose the right laser for you to enjoy the expected results and a comfortable treatment?
Laser hair removal – why such a choice
It might seem that laser hair removal is such a simple procedure with a clearly defined action that such a large choice among different lasers is simply not necessary. As it turns out, however, each of the available laser light hair removal devices has slightly different characteristics, emphasizing a different issue during the procedure. Lasers vary in their level of sensitivity, speed of results, the way the treatment feels, and some of them also have other effects than just reducing unwanted hair. Depending on the type of hair, expected results, individual pain threshold, and other factors, you can choose the hair removal laser that best meets these expectations.
4 lasers for hair removal – what characterizes them
When you go for laser hair removal at our clinic, you can choose from four different lasers for hair removal. Each has features that set it apart from the others. At our clinic, we offer permanent hair removal treatments using:
- Vectus laser – is one of the most popular lasers used for hair removal treatments. Its precise and accurate action allows for effective and permanent reduction of unwanted hair. The power of the laser is set individually for the patient based on a previously taken measurement of the amount of pigment in the skin and hair structure. The level of pain experienced during the procedure is also an individual matter, depending on the threshold for pain, but it is possible to effectively reduce discomfort, with the use of special coolers. It is worth noting that with the Vectus laser, the number of treatments depends not only on the area to be depilated, but also on the color and thickness of the hair.
- Motus laser, or alexandrite laser – another laser for hair removal is the Motus laser. What sets it apart from the others is that it is an alexandrite laser, whose operation is based on a sufficiently long laser beam. The action of this laser is very effective, and it is particularly recommended for people for whom other hair removal techniques have not produced the desired results. The laser is equipped with a special cooling head, which is designed to protect the skin from burning, and at the same time it has an anesthetic effect, so this treatment will work well for people with a low pain threshold. The alexandrite laser works faster than other treatments, usually the hair removal needs to be repeated 4 times to get the full effect (sometimes the time is even half as long as with other lasers).
- Thunder MT laser – by far the most powerful laser, it is a combination of mixed technology and alexandrite laser and allows either or both light beams to act simultaneously. The laser’s dual power allows for high efficacy, even on fair complexions and hair containing little pigment.
- GentleLase laser – this is a fairly versatile laser. It works well not only for reducing unwanted hair, but also effectively deals with vascular lesions and hyperpigmentation. The laser can be used on all areas of the body, not excluding the most delicate and sensitive ones.
