Laser hair removal is an effective and popular way to permanently get rid of unwanted hair. In this method, high-energy laser light is applied to the hair roots on the skin. The laser light targets the hair roots, heats them, and destroys them, preventing them from growing back.
Laser hair removal, which is usually applied in more than one session, may vary depending on skin type, hair color, and thickness. There may be slight redness and sensitivity on the skin after the application, but these side effects are usually temporary. Laser hair removal is an ideal option for those looking for a long-term hair removal solution.
What is Laser?
Laser was developed by Albert Einstein in 1917 as part of quantum theory. Einstein put forward the principles and concepts necessary to establish a functional laser system. However, many years passed for the production of functional lasers and the first laser device was the ruby laser developed in 1960.
The laser method was initially used for military or industrial purposes. Laser systems were produced much later for medical application areas. Laser devices that can produce short pulses one by one have been developed over the years. The medical development process of lasers began in 1983. New lasers were produced in areas such as capillary treatment, stain, and tattoo removal. Medical and clinical studies gained momentum at this stage.
The first type of light-based epilation began to be used in 1994. Laser epilation applications were actively approved and entered the clinic in the late 1990s. Laser epilation became an application approved by the FDA in 1998.
