Having Laser Hair Removal Toronto

By April Briggs


Unwanted hairs may be removed by exposure to laser rays in pulses which work to destroy hairs follicles. It was available for trial purposes before being approved during the mid of 1990s. Its efficacy in the removal of hairs is now accepted in the dermatology field generally. It is widely performed in clinics and also homes by use of specially designed devices to suit consumer use on their own. The following are the basics of laser hair removal Toronto.

It is more than mere destruction of the unwanted hair. Just like all other medical procedures, special training in order to perform it is required as there might be risks that may be involved. It is thus recommended to do a thorough background check of the medical professional who will be performing this procedure on you before embarking on the process.

Do not perform waxing, electrolysis or plucking for a time of six weeks before being treated. These processes remove the hair at the roots which are also targets for the treatment. Sun exposure should also be avoided for six weeks also because such exposure damages the skin and also makes the therapy less effective.

Selective photothermolysis is the main principle behind this process in Toronto. This is matching of specific light wavelength and duration of pulse for purposes of obtaining optimal effect onto the tissues targeted and minimal effect to tissues surrounding it. It causes localized damage through its selective damage by heating melanin on the follicle. The remaining parts of skin are not heated. The rays are absorbed at a greater intensity and speed by the dark matter of the skin which can be artificially introduced or naturally occurring in the skin.

Melanin is the principle chromosphere in destruction of hairs by laser. Eumelanin and pheomelanin are the two melanin types functioning to give the hair a black or brown color and red or blonde color respectively. The treatment works well for those with eumelanin however.

Owing to photons selective absorption of light from laser only brown or black hair is able to be removed as it works best in dark coarsened hairs. Having dark care and a light skin is the ideal combination for this type of treatment as they produce best results. However the new lasers available can aim at black hair for those patient having dark skin and achieve some degree of success.

The procedure is gaining popularity due to its efficacy and speed although its effectiveness depends on the operator experience and skill. The availability and choice of different technologies of laser used in treatment contributes to the effectiveness and the success of this procedure.

After the first set of three to eight treatment touch up procedures are needed for some patients. A number of individuals are termed as non-responders and this happens especially when the wrong device is used in the treatment, parameters of the device are low or the client is not fit for this treatment.
