Unlike other types of epilation, laser epilation is preferred because it is permanent and healthy. Laser epilation, which provides permanent removal of unwanted hair, regardless of male or female, is painless compared to classical methods. It is highly effective and harmless when done with the right devices and by experts. The area to be applied, skin type and color, hair structure are examined by the experts, and what kind of device to use is selected and the person is informed about how many sessions the hair will be removed.
Lazer epilasyon nedir?
Laser, which is a light beam obtained by excitation of rays, is used in many fields such as medical and aesthetics. Laser epilation, which is used to eliminate hair growth, which is a cosmetic and psychosocial problem, is a method that has been applied for about 25 years. In laser epilation, which can be applied to all parts of the body, the hair should not be touched for a minimum of 15 days before the first application. Thus, both the amount and hardness of the hairs can be observed easily and it is aimed to increase the efficiency to be obtained from the laser. After the planning is done, the application area is cleaned. After the parameters such as hair type and density, skin type and color are examined by experts, the process begins by making serial shots to the desired area with the appropriate laser device. The completion of the process varies according to the skin and hair type, color and width of the area. The process must be repeated at certain intervals.
Lazer epilasyon çeşitleri nelerdir?
There are four different types of laser hair removal in use. The effectiveness of these devices, which have different wavelengths, varies according to the skin and hair type and color of the person. The wavelength of the device determines its ability to penetrate the skin. As the wavelength gets shorter, its retention by the hair root increases. The pain felt at higher wavelengths is high, but these can vary with the differences and settings between devices. The types of laser epilation applied in general can be listed as follows:
Ruby Laser: This laser type with a wavelength of 694 nm is effective on very short hairs. Ruby Laser, which is more effective on light-colored skin types, is effective on areas such as the upper lip.
Alexandrite Laser: Alexandrite Laser with a wavelength of 755 nm, which can be applied without damaging the nearby tissues, shortens the session time by rapidly acting on large areas due to its large head. It is effective on not very dark skin and dark hair. With the high cooling system, pain is not felt.
Diode Laser: Diode Laser with a wavelength of 800 nm is effective in removing fine hairs. It is used with the cooling gel as it shoots from a very close distance to the skin. Laser applied on all skin types also affects ingrown hair follicles. It can be applied to dark skin types without damaging it, as it has the possibility of manual adjustment.
Nd: Yag Laser: This type of laser, which is effective on dark and light skin, makes you feel more pain than others. Known with a wavelength of 1064 nm, Nd: Yag Laser is effective on light colored and thin hairs. It is effective thanks to its large diameter tip and long throw time.
ALEXANDRITE LASER
It is effective on light skin and black hair. It is the most preferred system all over the world and in Turkey. In general, Turkish people have light skin and black hair structure. Alexandrite laser reaches the hair root and provides permanent and effective results. Thanks to the dynamic cooling system, the feeling of pain is almost non-existent. Long pulse types can be used easily up to type IV skin. Since the device does not come into contact with the skin, there is no problem in terms of hygiene. FDA and CE approved Long Pulse Alexandrite Elite Laser system is used in our center.
Nd:YAG LASER
It can be applied safely to every skin color, it is also effective on fine hairs. It can be applied without causing skin staining, including the darkest skin type Afro-Americana. Therefore, there is no harm in applying it in the summer. The sensitivity of this laser system to melanin is very low. There is a special cooling unit that protects the outermost layer while sending laser energy to the skin. Since there is no contact with the skin during the application, there is no problem in terms of hygiene.
DIODE LASER
It is successful only on thin, weak hairs. For this reason, it is more effective on fine facial hair. Since the device is in contact with the skin during application, there may be problems in terms of hygiene. Since there is no cooling system, the pain may be felt a little more.
BLUE LIGHT (IPL)
It’s not a laser system, it’s a broad wavelength light energy system. Also called IPL system. It can be used as a modern waxing method, it is not a permanent solution.

Since the hairs in the area are of different lengths during the application of laser epilation, the effectiveness of the laser is also different. For this reason, it is not possible to destroy all the hairs in the area in a single application in one session. Body structure, hormonal balance and skin type differences also affect the application times. Session durations also vary according to the width of the area to be treated. While laser epilation on the upper lip takes seconds, it takes about 10 minutes for the entire face. Or, while it takes about 1.5 hours for both legs, the armpit and bikini area can be completed in 15 minutes, and the male back can be completed in about 40 minutes. Application intervals also vary due to the same factors. However, session intervals are usually around 1 and a half months.

The effectiveness of laser epilation varies according to the person’s physical and hormonal structure, skin and hair color, and the hardness of the hair in the area to be treated. Areas such as underarms, lower legs, bikini area may take 4 to 8 sessions, while areas such as face, arms and back may take 6 to 12 sessions.
Why is Laser Hair Removal Required Multiple Sessions?
Laser epilation is effective during the active growth and development period of the hair. The hairs in the resting period will not be affected by the application. 30-70% of the hairs are in the resting period.
Therefore, the application is made in sessions that vary according to the body parts. Each session provides an effect of 15-30%. Session intervals also vary as 4-6 sessions every 2 months in the body area and 6-12 sessions in the face area once a month.
ANAGEN PERIOD (DEVELOPMENT AND MATURITY PHASE)
It is the active growth and development period of the hair. In this period, the hair root is in contact with the cell that feeds itself and the color substance called melanin is intense. The length of the anagen period determines the length of the hair, laser epilation is effective on hair in the anagen period.
CATAGEN PERIOD (PAUSE AND DECREASE PHASE)
It is a short period when the development of the hair follicle stops. The contact with the root has weakened, and since the hair has started to dry, it will be less affected by the laser epilation application than intended.
TELOGEN PERIOD (SLIMMING PHASE)
It is the period when the activity in the hair follicle stops and it is time to shed the hair. The hair follicle, which has passed into the resting period, remains for a few months during this period, the duration of this period depends on the number of active hairs in the area. Laser epilation applied to the hairs in this period will not be effective.
What is Laser Hair Removal Control Session?
In laser epilation application, each laser shot scans a certain area. In the large body areas where the application is made, there may be hairs that are skipped sporadically. After the shedding is completed 15 to 20 days after the session, a free control session is applied to the few hairs remaining. Applications that will be made after the control session has expired will affect the hair stage, thus disrupting the treatment process.
