Laser, an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, utilizes a narrow, intense beam of coherent light for various applications, including medical and cosmetic procedures like hair removal. During laser hair removal, a laser penetrates the skin, targeting melanin within the hair follicle with a specific wavelength. Melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color, absorbs the laser’s energy, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. The 755nm wavelength is particularly effective for individuals with dark hair and light skin, offering optimal penetration and results. A built-in cooling system minimizes discomfort during the procedure, often described as a light snapping sensation. In Australia, strict regulations govern laser ownership and operation to ensure safety. Clinics must possess the necessary licenses, safety officers, and equipment, so it’s important to choose a fully licensed and reputable provider.
