Laser Hair Removal Types | Selecting The Best Tool For The Job

If you plan on taking a Laser hair removal Courses in Scottsdale, prepare to be hit with a lot of information all at once. Removals may seem simple, but, that’s not always the case. Either way, you’ll want to absorb all laser information beforehand, and have it all at your disposal in the office.

Laser Types

Currently, there are 5 types of lasers used for removals. And, if you plan on starting a career in cosmetic lasers, knowing each one is important.

• nd:yag
• ipl (not technically a laser)
• ruby
• alexandrite
• diode

Additionally these 5 laser types are broken down further into sub-systems. These are the systems you’ll use when removing hair in the Spa. For example, popular ruby laser are broken down into 3 popular machine types:

• RubyStar
• Palomar E2000
• EpiPulse Ruby

And alexandrite is broken down into 4:

• Candella
• Cynosure Apogee
• Gentle-Lase
• EpiTouch Plus

While other laser systems such as Diode have 7 types:

• SLP, F1 Diode
• LaserLite
• Epistar
• Apex
• LightSheer
• MeDioStar
• SopranoXL

Hair/Skin Types

But, laser machine types are not all you’ll have to worry about.  Furthermore, before any laser hair removal can be performed, skin type must be taken into consideration. And each laser system has a different purpose. Because, even though it may seem like all skin is the same, we’ve found that not to be the case for lasers.

For instance: Alexandrite laser works great for clients with olive skin. However, if your client has fair skin, Ruby laser is going to be the best choice.  Thankfully this is nothing new in the word of lasers, and would explain why we have so many laser types.

And, while most hair is quite easy to remove, some areas have proven to be rather difficult. For example, we consider these four main areas to be “easy”

• bikini
• chin
• underarms
• lip

Further, those with the following skin characteristics are easier to treat:

• coarse
• thick
• dark hair

Laser hair Removal | How Long Does It Take?

So if youre client is looking to treat the hair underneath his arm, he may see results after one appointment. But, it’ll take several treatments to permanently remove his hair in that area. On the other hand, a client looking to remove hair from her back and stomach may need six+ sessions spaced a few weeks apart.

As a result, you may treat multiple clients types all in same day. Someone who’s never been to your office before, someone on their 3rd or 4th treatment, and another who’s getting their back hair removed for the final time.

We always recommend patients schedule maintenance treatments, especially if they’re wanting hair to remain gone. You will have some clients who are fine with one appointment as well. But, in that case, just make sure they’re aware that the hair is likely to grow back.

Bad Removals

You can’t end a discussion on Laser hair removal without mention of adverse effects. Before laser technology was popularized, issues surrounding use were quite common. But, we have dramatically reduced these issues in the last 10 years. Nevertheless pigment changes, redness of skin, and temporary irritation can all occur.

It’s important to mention, that while most of these ‘bad’ effects are not common, they can happen. You should go into every treatment with an open mind, and always ask questions first. And overtime, after you’ve seen enough patients, this will become second nature.
