Hair removal techniques and not seeing the forest for the trees

Hair removal equipment, and not being able to see the forest for the trees is unfortunately a common occurrence: there are many suppliers, devices and even techniques. If you do not want to incur high costs to buy a hair removal device with poor performance, which will lead to no sales or a bad reputation for you, take 10-15 minutes to read the following content. It will describe in detail what kind of hair removal equipment will be really effective, as well as the main points on how to identify when buying, which will bring you more sales and a louder reputation on the beauty market.

We believe that all wise entrepreneurs will definitely want to use a good laser device to achieve long-term benefits, but desperation is created by the excessive marketing information and extremely commercially oriented consultants. That is why we map out different techniques in the field of hair removal:

Currently the most popular hair removal methods on the market: IPL, ELOS SHR and diode laser hair removal.

A. Regardless of color light, composite light or photon, their official name is called IPL, which actually has the same meaning. IPL is called intense pulsed light. , is a broadband visible composite light composed of different wavelengths, composed of visible light and infrared light, the wavelength range of 400-1200 nm.

B.Photon hair removal is divided into three types: IPL, E-Light and OPT. In fact, briefly describe that IPL is the first generation, E-light is an improved version of IPL, belongs to the second generation, OPT is an improved version of E-light. , Belonging to the third generation. Pure photon hair removal technology has long been eliminated, now on the market usually use the OPT hair removal device.

The most direct difference between E-light and OPT is the “flat top square wave” technology. With this technology, the most intuitive progress is to save a large area of ​​hair removal time, originally E-light is the same processing of the probe crystal cross-section stamped; although OPT is a sliding push, you can remove hair on one entire leg or handle. Therefore, OPT is more efficient, more comfortable than E-light, and not as painful as E-light. Also, the number of treatment cycles is relatively shortened. It can be said that OPT is the first choice in hair removal devices for intense pulsed light technology.

Laser:
Lasers emit light in only one wavelength, with the latest development being: 3 wavelengths: the triple wave, which is coherent and collided (all photons and light waves propagate parallel in the same direction). It is specifically optimized for a part of the skin (hair follicle), so laser hair removal is better than intense pulsed light.

The factor related to the effect is the absorbed effective energy. High energy, short wavelength, but no absorption by the melanin of the hair follicles, is of no use for hair removal. Clinical experimental data shows that the laser should be at 808nm or 810nm, and the IPL should exceed 640nm, then they will achieve more efficient hair removal. .

Due to the inherent characteristics of the strong pulsed light of its own multi-wavelength broadband pulsed light source, strong pulsed light has an effect, but the effect is poor and the effect is slow, only part of the light is absorbed by the hair follicle.

However, laser can be accurately absorbed by the hair follicles and does not affect other tissues of the skin, especially with the new triple wave technique where 3 precise wavelengths reach exactly the hair roots that need to be destroyed.

Hair Removal Effect: Diode Laser 808 > OPT > E-light > IPL
The application of IPL for direct hair removal is very challenging because it has lower efficacy and may have adverse effects on the skin. The light source is not very pure and contains many kinds of light such as ultraviolet rays. In medical applications, filters are used to filter out harmful light. However, if the filter is used for too long or the quality of the filter is not qualified, it is very easy to cause direct skin pigmentation, precipitation, redness and blistering due to unfiltered ultraviolet rays in the treatment. Because it contains multiple wavelengths of 475nm-1200nm, the energy is not concentrated, the hair removal effect is not very good, and the color saturation is easy to occur, so it is gradually replaced by the diode laser .

Therefore, in our opinion, hair removal with diode laser with triple wave technology will gradually replace other hair removal methods with the effect and reputation. This is also the reason why we only offer diode power lasers for hair removal.
