How can a laser remove hair?

When a laser beam with a wavelength that is easily absorbed by black color is irradiated onto hairs, the light absorbed by the melanin in the hairs is converted into heat, and this heat destroys the hair follicle. Since the hair follicle contains hair stem cells that regenerate hair, the follicle is damaged and the hair will not regrow from the same follicle again.

What kind of laser is used for hair removal?

We use two types of lasers: the alexandrite laser and the diode laser. Both are approved as medical devices and are highly safe machines. We also select and use different machines according to the irradiated area so that we can provide more efficient and suitable treatment.

What is the difference between medical laser hair removal and needle hair removal performed at an esthetic clinic?

In the past, cosmetic clinics used electro-acupuncture for permanent hair removal, but treating each and every hair was very painful and inefficient; even when performed by skilled personnel, only a small area could be treated at a time, and it usually took several years or more to complete a full treatment. In addition, this method carries the risk of damaging the skin and causing a number of problems, which is why it is rarely used today. The advantages of laser hair removal are that each treatment takes less time, is less painful, and can be completed in fewer sessions.

After hair removal by medical laser, can it be stained?

Unless strong burns are caused, and unless the skin is exposed to strong sunburn or irritation such as strong scratching or rubbing during the delicate skin condition after hair removal, hair removal usually does not cause spots. Our doctors check your skin condition and determine the treatment setting responsibly while observing the reaction through test irradiation. In addition, in the unlikely event of any skin problems, we provide sufficient aftercare support as well as treatment for such problems, so the problem is almost always resolved without any problems.

Is hair removal completed in one session?

Hair removal by laser is ineffective unless the hair papilla, which is the source of the hair, contains melanin pigment. Since hairs have a hair cycle and there are periods when melanin is not formed in the hair papilla, all hairs cannot be destroyed in a single irradiation, so multiple irradiations are necessary.

Is it possible to remove hair from thin skin areas such as the throat area?

For hair removal on light skin areas such as the throat area, we use a laser hair removal model that can be precisely adjusted according to skin tone, hair thickness, and other skin conditions. This means that even the weakest areas of the skin and darker colored areas (nipples, V-line, etc.) can be treated more safely and effectively than with other lasers. There is no particular part of the whole body that cannot be treated at our clinic. Is it possible?

I know it's early, but can a 6 year old child have permanent hair removal?

Even if the treatment is technically possible, it may take longer than usual to complete the treatment because children are in their growth phase and new hair growth will occur as they grow. This means that it may take more times than usual to complete the treatment, and the hairs may grow back even after the treatment is completed.
It is difficult to recommend the treatment if it is done only once, because it is not expected to be effective enough to be worth the patience to undergo the treatment.

If you are not looking for permanent hair removal, but are having difficulty shaving your hair every day, or if you have trouble with noticeable shaving marks, there is a method called laser toning that removes the hair from the follicles and prevents it from growing back for a season or so. The laser fades the hairs and turns them white, and once they fall out, they will not grow back for about one season. This method is less painful, and even children may be treated if an anesthetic cream is applied. This treatment is less stressful on the skin and requires little downtime, so you can have it done without much worry.

I have a thick beard on my chin like a man and have to shave daily. I am currently on welfare, but do you accept medical vouchers? Also, I know the laser treatment is self-funded, but will I have to pay for other treatment items as well?

We believe that laser hair removal is the best solution for the symptoms you are suffering from.
After about 6 visits every 2 months, the hair can be removed almost permanently. We are a self-funded clinic.
We do not accept insurance for any cosmetic treatment, not only laser treatment.
There is a dermatology clinic on the 3rd floor that specializes in insurance treatments, but we are sorry to say that we do not accept medical certificates.

I have a question about facial hair removal. Can it be done around the eyebrows and above the eyelids?

Facial hair removal is performed around the eyebrows.
For the upper eyelid, we pull the skin upward, avoiding the area above the black eye, and protect the black eye area with goggles.
This usually covers the area where the hair grows, so there is no need to worry.

I would like to thin the area under the chin and clean up the beard on the neck. My neck is extensive. Approximately how many treatments will it take?

In the treatment of hair loss, the number of pores that do not grow as if they are thinned out and the hairs that do grow become thinner and weaker, and the treatment progresses with each treatment. The number of treatments can be adjusted if you want to keep the hairs at a moderate sparseness and thinness, but it may still take 5 to 6 treatments, with a standard treatment once a month. If you have a thick beard, you will need about 12 treatments if you want to have no hair growth at all.
We use a type of laser for hair removal that can be finely adjusted according to the thickness and density of the hair and the color of the skin, so the individual differences in effectiveness are very small compared to other types of lasers.
