Given that the light spectrum of laser hair removal is in the range of visible light and IR waves, and these waves are not ionizing, they cannot cause cancer in any way.
Laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy due to a lack of adequate studies on its safety. Hormonal changes may make the skin more sensitive, increasing the risk of irritation or burning, or may be ineffective.
Proper use of a laser device does not cause skin diseases, but if improperly adjusted or performed by non-specialists, it may cause complications such as burns, skin discoloration, or irritation. It is important to follow standards and have it performed by a specialist.
Licensed devices with approved safety and efficacy standards reduce the risk of side effects and provide better results. Unauthorized devices may be unsafe, cause skin damage, or perform poorly.
- Before laser hair removal, it is essential to follow these tips:
- Avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, and waxing for a month before.
- Shave the area 24 hours beforehand.
- Avoid using exfoliating creams and skin irritants. The skin should be clean and free of makeup or creams.
- If you are taking medication or have a specific illness, be sure to consult a specialist.
After laser hair removal, it is essential to follow these tips:
- Avoid hot baths and saunas or swimming pools for 24 hours.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for one week and use sunscreen.
- Use repairing or moisturizing creams recommended by your doctor.
- Avoid skin irritation (such as scrubbing, waxing, or shaving).
- If there is redness or inflammation, use a cold compress.
Good after-sales service for laser hair removal devices ensures optimal performance and longevity of the device. This service includes repairs, parts supply, training, and technical support, which increases customer satisfaction, reduces additional costs, and prevents downtime.
When buying a laser hair removal device, pay attention to the following points:
- Certification and standards: The device must have valid safety and medical approvals.
- Technology type: Choosing a device with the appropriate technology (Alexandrite, Diode, or Nd:YAG) based on the client’s needs and skin type.
- Power and wavelength: Check the power of the device and its compatibility with skin and hair types.
- Trusted brand: Choose a device from well-known and reputable brands.
- After-sales service: Ensuring warranty, parts supply, and technical support.
- Efficiency and cost: Matching the price with the quality and features of the device.
- Training and setup: Providing specialized training by the seller or manufacturer.
In order to facilitate the purchase of laser hair removal devices, Human Pooya Electric Company, as a knowledge-based company, has offered its products in the form of an 18-month leasing plan with an 8-month grace period to respected doctors and the beloved Da An Clinic.
People with tattoos can have laser hair removal, but the laser should not be used on tattooed areas. The laser may cause burns, inflammation, or discoloration at the tattoo site. For safety, tattooed areas should be covered with a shield and kept away from the laser.
Laser hair removal is less effective on light hair (blonde, gray), because this hair has little melanin and does not absorb the laser energy well. The best results are usually seen on dark, thick hair. For light hair, choosing the right device and specific techniques can be somewhat effective, and laser has no effect on white hair.
Laser hair removal devices are divided into three main types:
- Alexandrite: Suitable for light to dark skin with a wavelength of 755 nm, high speed and strong effect on dark hair.
- Diode: Can be used for all skin types, especially light to dark skin, with wavelengths of 755, 810, 1064, 940 nm and deeper penetration that has all the wavelengths of other devices and can emit all wavelengths simultaneously.
- Nd:YAG: Suitable for dark skin with a wavelength of 1064 nm, high safety but less effective on thin hair.
Some devices, such as IPL (intense pulsed light), are also used for hair reduction, but they are not considered true lasers. The choice of device depends on skin and hair type.
