Epilation

WHAT IS LASER EPILATION?
Laser hair removal is a light treatment concentrated in a single wavelength that provides permanent removal of unwanted hair. This process is based on the principle of selective burning with light. By choosing the appropriate wavelength, pulse duration and pulse rate, thermal damage is limited to the melanin pigment in the hair follicle, which is the target chromophore. For laser epilation to be successful, it is important to cool the skin appropriately. At the same time, the appropriate spot size (diameter of the applied head) is also very important. It is frequently preferred because it is a short-term and comfortable procedure. Anyone, whether male or female, who wants to get rid of unwanted hair can apply for this application.
