Laser types can be used differently depending on hair density and structure. Epilation applications, which do not have the same effect on everyone, produce successful results in everyone by choosing the right epilation type according to skin and hair type. All types of laser technology are aimed at destroying the hair follicle. Machines may vary depending on the technology used. The difference between the machines is the size of the light used during the process. In addition, the wavelength also differs between laser devices. There are 4 different epilation technologies. These application results are independent of each other. Successful results can be obtained in all of them when used in the right individuals. Laser device types include Alexandrite, Diode, Nd: Yag, IPL methods.

Alexandrite and Diode Types

Alexandrite, which is a method applied mostly to light-skinned individuals among the laser types, shoots with a wavelength of 755 nm from a distance of 3 cm to the skin. It provides hygienic results. This application, which does not leave any traces, is an application that is very sensitive to the color substance called melanin. For this reason, it is not recommended too much for dark colored individuals. Since there may be an increase in fine hair in the face and neck area, this application is not used in these areas. The diode laser type, which has a wavelength of 980 nm, is very effective even in removing fine hairs. It can be used on the face and neck area. Cooling gel is used in the application because it shoots in the close area, not to the skin. For other laser technologies, the wavelength is different. It provides effective results on all skins with its high wavelength.

Nd: Yag and IPL Laser Types

Among the laser types, the Nd: Yag laser, which is used in individuals with a very dark color tone, is a device with a wavelength of 1064 nm. Pain may be felt in direct proportion to the energy of this device, which gives higher energy. For this reason, anesthetic creams are used before operations. IPL laser epilation type cannot be defined as a complete laser epilation. This method, which is a concentrated light system, can also be expressed as waxing. In this method, the hair roots are weakened. In practice, the device comes into direct contact with the skin. The epilation device, which has a large number of sessions, gives the laser beams intermittently. This causes it to be slower than other methods.
