Laser hair removal is the most effective method for getting rid of unwanted hair on the body. You may get rid of your unwanted hair safely and permanently with laser hair removal, which is preferred by men or women frequently since it provides a definitive solution and since it does not cause any pain.
Laser Hair Removal, which is performed under the control of a physician, is the safest and most effective method of getting rid of unwanted hair.
Laser light targets melanin pigments. Laser light is absorbed by colour cells that are present in the hair. Laser light that is converted to thermal energy damaged the follicle.
Laser hair removal aims to remove hair permanently, and it may show its effects rapidly when it is performed by specialists and with the right devices. Persons, who are specialized in the field of laser hair removal, decide on steps that must be taken during the session by examining various characteristics of the area, on which laser treatment will be performed, such as colour and type of the skin etc. Laser systems that we are using in our doctor’s office are approved by FDA.
Laser hair removal must be performed in doctors’ offices. A physician, who may monitor treatment processes and who may provide a treatment when there are complications, must be available in doctors’ offices.
Laser hair removal is a medical practice, in which light beams are used to eliminate unwanted hair on the body. Laser hair removal treatment makes an impact by selective photothermolysis principle.
Laser Hair Removal Devices That Are Used In Our Doctor's Office
Our doctor's office performs procedures by using three different types of laser hair removal devices. These devices are listed below;
It is the laser that has a wavelength of 755 nm. Energy that is transferred in such wavelength is absorbed by melanin neatly, and thus, Alexandrite laser is quite effective on individuals, who have a light skin colour and who have black hair.
Alexandrite laser is still the most commonly used laser, which provides the highest patient satisfaction rate. It provides permanent results in a short period since 755-nm Alexandrite laser is focused on follicles, and the potential of spotting on the skin is lower.
Long-pulse Alexandrite laser, which has two wavelengths and which is being used in our doctor’s office, is a FDA-approved laser hair removal device, which ensures that we obtain more satisfactory results in a very short period compared to other laser hair removal applications.
ND:YAG laser may penetrate to the tissue deeper compared to other lasers, thanks to its wavelength of 1064 nm. It is not caught by any chromophore on the epidermis. Its target is not melanin, but follicles. Therefore, thin-thick hair or hair colour are not important. It may be performed on both light and dark skin.
ND:YAG, which allows working on dark skin without any burns or damages since it is a type of laser that has a low melanin absorption rate, is the type of laser that gives to the individuals with dark skin the opportunity to get hair removal laser treatment. Since there are no risks of burns, it may be performed either in the winter or summer.
ND:YAG provides more effective results when it is used in combination with other laser types.
Q Switched ND:YAG laser is a technology that provides effective results on light coloured and thin hair, on which the effect of laser hair removal is low, as well as thin hair that remains after laser hair removal. It is ideal for individuals with thin dark hair on the facial area in particular. The Q-switch ND:YAG laser not only bleaches thin hairs and makes them invisible, but also allows them to be permanently thinned in following sessions. The bleaching of the hair is seen immediately after the session, but unfortunately it is not permanent. This procedure has to be re-performed after about 4-6 weeks. The hair thinning effect is permanent. Laser hair bleaching is a very easy and comfortable procedure. It is safe for any type of skin. It is performed safely in the summer.
Armpit hair is not wanted due to hygienic and traditional reasons and since it causes a bad smell. Therefore, laser hair removal is one of the best alternative treatment methods for removal of armpit hair. Ingrown hair that form in the armpit area may be prevented by laser hair removal, and thus, hair submerged under the skin may be prevented.
You may get rid of armpit hair by 6 sessions of laser hair removal procedures in average. Very effective results may also be obtained in 4 sessions at times.
Armpit laser hair removal treatment, which is very safe, gives no damage to lymph glands. Hair that is present in relative area are be shortened before the procedure, and deodorant and perfume residues are cleaned by using a wet wipe. Then, we begin to provide laser hair removal treatment.
Alexandrite and Diode lasers are used on the armpit area in general.
Classical methods like waxing are suggested for pubic hair in general. Shaving is both difficult and risky due to curves. Therefore, laser hair removal comes to the forefront as a very painless and permanent solution instead of conventional methods.
Laser pubic hair removal is performed in 6 sessions in average. It may be sufficient to perform it for 4 sessions at times. Laser treatment makes no harm on the uterus, ovaries and visceral organs since it is effective on the upper layer of the skin.
One of the types of hair that disturbs women the most is the hair in the bikini area. Bikini laser hair removal is a procedure that is preferred commonly in recent years. Hair that is present in the bikini area is removed permanently by this procedure, which is performed in 6 sessions.
Hair that is present on the leg area is hereditary. Laser hair removal procedures give very effective results on this area. It is much more advantageous compared to waxing and hair removal since it is easy and painless. It prevents the problem of ingrown hair permanently by providing effective results in treatment of ingrown hair that forms on hips and sitting area.
Hormonal diseases are the most important reason for facial hair. The cause of the disease must be detected for hormonal hair. Hormonal treatment must also be initiated with laser hair removal.
Laser selection is an important factor in treatment of facial hair. Alexandrite lasers may increase the number of hair in this area, rather than decreasing their numbers. Therefore, Diode laser must be preferred.
Hair that forms on the back area is also an unwanted condition. Hair that is present in this area is removed by laser hair removal both for aesthetic reasons and to prevent ingrown hair. Back hair has its roots in the deep, and it is also thick. Yet again, Diode laser provides effective results on this area. Alexandrite lasers make a little effect on this area since they are effective on superficial hair.
Chest is the area where men have the most number of hair and where hair is the most annoying for men. Therefore, men usually wish their chest hair to be decreased. Diode laser is the type of laser that is preferred the most on the chest area. Alexandrite laser may also be used, if the recipient has a light skin and if Diode laser is painful.
Hair that is present on arms is wanted neither by men nor women. Such hair, which is thin in general, is treated in 10 sessions by using Diode laser. It would be more appropriate to receive such treatment in the winter, i.e. the period when the impact of the sunlight is lowest.
Hair that is present on the upper lip area is one of the types of hair that annoys women the most. You may get rid of the hair that is present on the upper lip area by a treatment of 10 sessions where Diode laser is used.
Hair that forms on the chin sources from hormonal reasons in general, and it is generally associated with polycystic ovary syndrome. Individuals, who may be examined by a gynecologist, may get rid of such hair by a treatment of 10 sessions, in which Diode laser is used.
Hair that extends from the neck to the back annoys men aesthetically. Diode lasers are used on such hair, which is thin in general. Individuals may get rid of such hair in a treatment of 10 sessions.
Excessive hair, which may be observed on cheeks, is one of the issues that disturb men the most. Having a more flat beard line provides a more stylish appearance. Therefore, one of the areas, on which laser hair removal is preferred, is half face area. Thanks to application of Diode laser on the half face area, required appearance may be achieved by 10 sessions of laser treatment in average.
Various adverse issues are observed on the neck area of men, such as ingrown hair etc. This risk is eliminated by laser hair removal, and it is also a satisfactory alternative for those, who wish to carry above the beard area.
Laser hair removal is performed at 6 to 8-week intervals in average. Remaining hair is removed by conducting a follow-up session 2-3 weeks after each procedure. Hair is not removed by any other method between sessions. Laser hair removal treatment is provided 6-8 weeks later when the hair begins to grow again.
Number of sessions varies from person to person since there is a difference between every skin type and hair structure. Also, relative area is determinant factor on the number of sessions, but 6-8 sessions are sufficient in general.
Hair intensity decreased in every session permanently by 15%-20%. You may only see the difference dramatically from the 3rd session. Number of sessions varies from person to person based on the recipients’ hair structure, skin colour and hormonal condition.
Colour pigment, which is referred to as the melanin, is the item that is targeted in a laser hair removal treatment. Melanin absorbs laser lights selectively. This laser light is converted into thermal energy by the follicle. This thermal energy shows its impact without making any damage on surrounding tissues and cells. Follicles are damaged a little in each session. They become unable to produce hair after almost 6 to 8 sessions. However, it is not effective on white hair that does not contain melanin.
Prices of laser hair removal vary based on the number of sessions, location of the affected area and type of hair. Low-priced filling procedures can mean filling with poor quality and unhealthy materials. Therefore, quality of the product and experience level of the doctor are very important details.

Effects of Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment may not be observed immediately. Its effects become more significant after approximately 2 months from the procedure. Skin peels at first, and then skin begins to rejuvenate itself slowly. Its effects may be observed in 3-6 days because collagen production is completed during this period, and thus, it begins to show its effects on the skin.
Yes, skin colour is an effective factor in such treatments. Pigment loss or regional pigmentation are observed more in individuals with dark skin. Light skinned individuals have more advantage in Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment.
