• Cosmetic reduction of body hair: Many people choose Laser and IPL treatments for aesthetic reasons. They wish to remove unwanted body hair in areas such as the legs, arms, chest, back, and bikini line.
• Pseudofolliculitis Barbae: This is also known as shaving irritation, where ingrown hairs cause inflammation, especially after shaving. Laser and IPL hair removal can reduce hair growth and prevent ingrown hairs, which reduces irritation.
• Hirsutism and PCOS: Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women in areas where normally only men have hair, such as the face and chest. This is more common in women with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), a hormonal condition. Laser and IPL treatments can help reduce this unwanted hair growth.
• Hypertrichosis: This is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth on the body. Laser and IPL can be used to reduce and control the amount of body hair.
• Pilonidal Sinus: This is a condition in which a small cavity or cyst forms near the crease of the buttocks, which often contains hair. This can become infected and be painful. IPL hair removal helps by removing the hair in this area, thereby reducing the risk of infection and the development of new cysts.
• Hidradenitis Suppurativa: This is a chronic skin condition that causes painful bumps, cysts, and abscesses, particularly under the arms, in the groin, and under the breasts. Although IPL does not treat the condition itself, it can help by removing hair in the affected areas, which can reduce irritation and alleviate discomfort.

A spectrum of light, a spectrum of possibilities

The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and Nd:Yag laser hair removal with the Lumenis system incorporates high-end technologies to effectively and safely reduce or remove unwanted hair.

The Lumenis IPL system uses a broad spectrum of light. This makes it possible to effectively treat a wide range of hair and skin types.The IPL system emits multiple wavelengths (around 755nm) of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair (melanin), resulting in the destruction of the hair follicles.

The Lumenis Nd:YAG laser is a powerful tool for laser hair removal, particularly for people with darker skin types. The Nd:YAG laser emits a specific wavelength of light (1064 nm) that targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.

The science of selective photothermolysis

When intense light is absorbed by the hair, it is converted into heat. This heat is conducted to the hair follicle (the root of the hair), where it damages the growth cells without affecting the surrounding tissue. This process is known as selective photothermolysis. The goal is to damage the hair follicle to such an extent that it can no longer produce new hair.
