Portable 808 diode laser 808t-2 for all skin types hair removal

HOW DOES THE 808NM DIODE LASER REMOVE HAIR?

The laser emits a beam of light that passes through the skin, to the hair follicle. The energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, and then transformed into heat to destroy the follicle.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IPL AND 808NM DIODE LASER?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is not a laser. While IPLs can be effective for some cosmetic procedures,  experience supports the more powerful, yet safer use of the laser for hair removal.

IS THE hair removal PROCESURE EFFECTIVE?

The effectiveness of the treatment depends on the colour, thickness and depth of the hair, thus red, blond and grey hair reacts less than black hair. The outcome of the treatment also depends on the hormone level.  To reach a high effectiveness it is important to set up a treatment plan with your doctor depending on your skin type and hair consistency.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Short-term side effects may include a slight reddening of the skin or local swelling which typically lasts less than an hour or two, although infrequently last a few days. Most clients resume normal activity after their treatments. Occasionally, a slight rash may occur that may last from a few hours to a couple of days. In very rare instances, some blistering and discoloration of the skin may occur which are usually only temporary.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

The ideal candidate has dark hair and light skin. Dark hairs absorb more of the laser light and lighter skin allows more transmission of the laser light into the follicle. We do safely treat darker skin tones and tanned skin; however, the treatments are most effective when you are your natural skin tone.  Non-pigmented hair does not respond to the laser treatments, and electrolysis would be the best permanent alternative.

CAN YOU DO LASER HAIR REMOVAL ANYWHERE ON THE BODY?
