Laser Hair Removal or depilation performed by laser was performed
experimentally for about 20 years before it became commercially available in
the mid 1990’s.
Treatment with this device is popularly referred to as laser hair removal,
though the device is not a laser per se.
Laser Hair Removal can cause localized damage by selectively heating dark
target matter in the area that causes hair growth while not heating the rest
of the skin.
Light is absorbed by dark objects, so laser energy can be absorbed by dark
material in the skin (but with much more speed and intensity).
This dark target matter, or chromospheres, can be naturally-occurring or
artificially introduced.
Carbon, which is introduced into the hair follicle by rubbing a carbon-based
lotion into the skin following waxing (this lotion is an “exogenous
chromospheres”).
It preferentially absorbs wavelengths from argons, and to a lesser extent from
rubies, alexandrite, and diodes.
Melanin is considered the primary chromospheres for most Laser Hair Removal
lasers currently on the U.S. market.
There are two types of melanin in hair: eumelanin (which gives hair brown or
black color) and pheomelanin (which gives hair blonde or red color).
Several wavelengths of laser energy have been used for Laser Hair Removal,
from visible light to near-infrared radiation.
Recently, very long pulse or super long pulse Laser Hair Removal have been
theorized to be safer for darker skin, but this has yet to be demonstrated in
published data.
