Laser hair removal is an affordable noninvasive aesthetic solution that can eliminate the cost, pain and inconvenience associated with shaving, waxing and sugaring. However, it’s essential that treatments come from a qualified provider in order to get optimal results.
Consider spot size when searching for a laser hair removal provider; its effects will have an effect on how successfully the treatment will work for you.
1. Small Spot Size
Spot size in laser hair removal devices determines how much skin area can be covered with each laser pulse and has an impactful influence on speed, comfort and efficacy of treatment. The best systems available to both men and women provide multiple interchangeable handpieces so you can address small, medium or large areas as necessary.
The Astanza MeDioStar hair removal diode laser features a versatile spot size to allow for the removal of unwanted hair in multiple body regions, including face/neck, bikini area and legs. Furthermore, its larger spot size enables quicker treatment times due to more pulses per minute delivered at once; in turn, this leads to more effective and efficient hair reduction results.
Laser hair removal works by using thermal energy from laser beams to absorb melanin found in hair follicles, heating and eventually destroying them. Once they’re destroyed, those same follicles cannot regrow hair again – making laser hair removal an efficient long-term solution to unwanted hair growth.
Laser hair removal does not work on all kinds of hair equally; darker-skinned locks tend to respond better due to melanin being more readily absorbed by laser light energy than lighter locks are. Therefore, tanning or using self-tanners prior to laser hair removal treatments should be avoided in order to maximize effectiveness.
For best results, it is necessary to attend multiple laser hair removal sessions; depending on the area you are treating, these can range from six to twelve.
For optimal treatment results, it is advised that sessions take place approximately five to eight weeks apart. This allows all follicles to transition from anagen into catagen, or the growth phase, within this window and ensure lasting results while decreasing the chances of hair regrowth.
2. Medium Spot Size
Laser hair removal is a procedure that permanently destroys hair follicles to stop future hair growth, sometimes painfully so. Many clients seek this procedure out as an alternative to shaving or waxing; its effectiveness will depend on factors like wavelength, pulse duration, spot size and fluence used during treatment – skilled practitioners using these tools have shown to yield far superior results than older technologies.
A laser’s medium spot size refers to the distance of its light beam that affects its penetration depth into skin’s dermis, and thus plays an integral part in efficient and effective laser hair removal treatments for areas such as face/neck, bikini area, underarms, and legs.
Practitioners need a powerful, high-quality laser that delivers accurate and consistent results in order to successfully treat body areas such as backs and legs. A gold standard hair removal laser such as LightSheer INFINITY uses short pulse durations and peak power with unmatched energy density levels for hair follicle stimulation; this combination allows practitioners to treat larger areas such as backs and legs within five minutes compared with two hours using older technology.
Medium spot sizes are also the optimal lasers for treating neckbeards or unwanted hair between the eyebrows, offering precision in areas too sensitive for smaller spot sizes. Furthermore, this medium spot size enables practitioners to treat underarms quickly and efficiently without using gels or topical anesthetics as necessary.
MeDioStar laser technology meets this demand by offering fast and effective treatments that go beyond shaving or waxing alone. Its versatile 1, 1.5, 3, and 10 cm2 spot sizes enable med spas to attract new customers while creating satisfied repeat buyers who increase revenue year after year. Furthermore, its triple contact cooling and large treatment head provide powerful yet pain-free treatment of the entire body.
3. Large Spot Size
Laser hair removal has become a highly sought-after aesthetic treatment. As more individuals seek removal for unwanted hair, practitioners must have access to tools capable of safely and efficiently serving clients. When comparing various lasers, it is crucial that practitioners consider the size of the spot where laser beam is focused – this impacts depth penetration into skin layers and how effective treatment is overall.
Larger spot sizes penetrate deeper into the skin and are therefore more effective at treating hair thickness and depth issues, thus making selecting a high quality laser with large spot sizes essential to effective treatments.
Palomar’s Vectus laser provides an example of this, using two wavelengths (755nm and 1064nm) to customize treatments to each client individually and target different types of hair quickly. Furthermore, its large physical spot size enables it to treat larger areas quickly.
Vectus lasers boast multiple pulse widths to accommodate various hair diameters, enabling practitioners to treat different thicknesses of hair more effectively by targeting its roots rather than only its surface strands – helping prevent ingrown hairs and encouraging it to thin out over time.
Older lasers had small spot sizes that made treating larger areas like legs and back difficult and time consuming. Newer technology offers similar results in less than half the time, making hair removal much faster and simpler for patients.
Vectus laser hair removal technology can also be used to effectively treat bikini lines – one of the most sought-after areas for laser hair removal! A 1.5 cm2 spot size will help your customers say goodbye to painful waxing sessions and cumbersome shaving sessions!
Selecting the ideal laser for your practice can make all the difference to its success and customer satisfaction. Make sure to explore your options and select a laser with an expansive spot size, proven effective by peer-reviewed medical journals, and high wattage power to provide optimal results.
4. Bikini Spot Size
Bikini areas can be one of the more difficult places to keep hair free, with waxing and shaving often leading to irritation around hair follicles, while they’re temporary solutions at best. Laser hair removal provides an effective long-term solution, creating a flawless appearance with no stubble or irritation – using selective photothermolysis technology where heat from laser beam vaporizes highly pigmented cells such as dark hair. Modern laser technology makes labia and peri-anal treatment safe.
Lasers designed specifically to treat bikini areas use a spot size of 1.5 cm2, enabling practitioners to treat any desired areas without compromising precision and accuracy – finally giving patients relief from painful waxing sessions and cumbersome shaving!
Before beginning laser hair removal treatment, you will meet with a fully trained specialist who will assess your skin type and medical history so they can determine whether laser hair removal is an ideal choice for you. They will also discuss personal preferences and goals related to this area with you – using diagrams if necessary, so they have an in-depth understanding of your expectations.
Based on your personal preference, Hollywood or Brazilian bikini styles might be right for you. We advise shaving the desired shape prior to scheduling an appointment in order for our specialist to properly understand and deliver results tailored to you. With regards to Brazilian, this procedure involves eliminating all hair in the pubic region altogether for maximum bare bottom potential.
