Laser Hair Removal Treatment Selection Tampa Florida
There are different types of lasers used for hair removal. They all have different wavelengths. There are only three wavelengths that are specifically at the depth for hair removal and for safety and the most effective. One would be a 755 nm which is an Alexandrite, one would be 810 nm which is a diode, and the third would be a 1064 nm, which is an Nd:YAG. Of all of those three the most effective with the highest percentage of removal is the 755 Alexandrite. An Alexandrite laser can treat anywhere from the head to the toe.
Some patients do ask about eyebrows. Obviously depending on how high the patient can lift their eyebrows out of the range of the safety goggles would depend on whether we can do their eyebrows, but anywhere from the scalp to the toes the body can be treated. There is nothing on the market to this date that is 100% permanent hair removal. No type of treatment out there. What you are looking for is the highest percentage of removal. Lasers target melanin or pigment, so if that hair is dark the percentage with an Alexandrite laser is going to be 70 to 95% permanent removal. Now with that being said, you will need to come back on subsequent treatment for those new growth cycles that do come in.
