The Dangers And Safety Measures Of Laser Hair Removal Cincinnati

By Essie Osborn


A minimal inadvertent exposure to high power laser radiation can result to permanent skin burns or eye injuries. When choosing to work in a clinic dealing with Laser Hair Removal Cincinnati personnel should be aware of the dangers involved and what they must do to protect their customers, themselves and others from harm. There is a need to take necessary measures to prevent health problems from occurring.

Operators are required to refer to the user guide and details that the manufacturers of the machine provide. They should also take time to look at their resource training materials as well as related safety guidance documents in place. The owner of the establishment needs to ensure that they carry on business in compliance with provincial regulatory requirements.

The people at risk in the whole of this process are the client receiving the service and the person offering the service. The other groups of person who are subject to the dangers of the rays are those operating the device, also referred to as the lasers personnel. In the case where there are combustible materials, fire could easily break out when exposed to the lasers beams.

Laser devices emit one or more pulses of infrared rays. Once the rays pass through the lighter colored skin, the melanin in the follicles will absorb them. Once the melanin absorbs the rays, it converts it to heat energy. This energy does destroy the follicles.

The lasers in use today emit infrared rays. The rays are used because they play a very important role of destroying hair by using a mechanism known as photothermolysis. The radiation is directed onto the skin and is absorbed by the darker skin tissues. As the rays enter the skin, they are absorbed by melanin. The heat generated is then sent to the surrounding follicles.

It is important to note that melanin is the only pigment that will always give the skin its color. Dark skins have more melanin while light skins have little melanin. This means that skin with little melanin will absorb lesser radiation and is subject to risk only when briefly exposed. The rays can immensely heat dark skin because of the huge melanin content, thus subjecting the skin to damages should there be excessive exposure to lasers.

Owners of the lasers facilities have to assume the responsibility of the overall safety associated with the installation and use of the lasers. This can be done through the management levels at the facilities. Hiring a safety officer to implement and manage safety program within the facility.

Whether the system is used in small or large institutions, safety is not something to compromise with. If anything, appropriate safety measures are required to ensure that there are no injuries caused on clients as well as the operators of the systems themselves. Whether there are senior or junior operators in a setting where these devices are present, all the safety measures and precautions should be given a consideration.
