Laser Epilation - A New Form Of Hair Removal

Laser EpilationLaser Epilation seems to be the new ‘hot topic’ in electrolysis today. Everyone from electrologists to equipment manufacturers to suppliers and even to electronic tweezing companies have taken notice. But is the laser something we need to spend so much time wondering and worrying about?

The laser is not new to electrolysis. As early as 1981, Lasetron was using an argon laser in an attempt to destroy the follicular regeneration apparatus. Since that time, however, there seems to be a lot of misinformation and hysteria associated with laser technology.

We need to step back and take a more informed look at the process and how it relates to the electrolysis profession. What is a laser? And what is its potential for actually destroying hair follicles and competing with standard electrolysis methods?

Laser Light

A laser is simply an electrical apparatus which produces light. Laser light is different from the light we encounter every day in two special ways.

The first is that laser light is monochromatic. This means that it has only one color, unlike white light which is composed of all colors.

The second way is that laser light is coherent. If we define light as electromagnetic radiant energy which produces a visual effect, light is basically a vibrating electromagnetic field. The term coherent means that all the vibrations are in the exact same direction and not in all directions, thereby causing the ‘perfect’ beam of light.
