The History of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal has quickly become one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments among clients visiting medical spas or estheticians, thanks to its effective melanin targeting capabilities. This technology has easily outshone traditional treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion.
Laser treatments must target the active growth phase of hair follicles known as anagen, to achieve permanent results. Six to ten sessions may be necessary in order for laser technology to effectively distinguish between active hairs and dead skin cells and target them effectively; earlier technologies relied heavily on trial-and-error to establish which frequencies, pulse durations and wavelengths provided optimal results.
Melanin-targeting lasers were first approved by the FDA for sale in 1998 and completely altered our industry. Since then, laser technology has continued to evolve into something less invasive for patients and practitioners alike – leading to an uptick in demand for various medical aesthetic treatments that utilize lasers.
