Putting The Spotlight On Laser Hair Removal

Putting The Spotlight On Laser Hair Removal

Laser treatment for hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available today. Though part of this surge in demand has to do with the latest current cultural beauty standards and trends, technological advances in medical lasers have also helped to increase accessibility to laser hair removal treatments.

While laser hair removal was once only able to target darker hairs on light complexions, laser hair removal treatments more accessible to – and safer for – patients with darker skin tones. Now, as more and more potential clients and patients look for ways to remove unwanted facial and body hair to improve their image and confidence, doctors and dermatologists need to be up to date on current laser treatment technology so that they can offer their patients the best treatments available today.

Just how popular are laser hair-removal procedures today?

Laser treatment for hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, with almost half-a-million laser treatments performed by dermatologic surgeons in 2011. In fact laser hair removal is the second most common procedure that patients undergo, second only to wrinkle-relaxing injections, according to the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery.

With the number of laser hair removal treatments rising on a national level, chances are that you’ve already experienced an increase in patients looking for hair removal laser treatment. And now that the demand for this procedure is on the rise, all dermatologists should take the time to evaluate their equipment and ask themselves, Am I using the best laser for hair removal that’s available today?

How do I know if I’m using the best medical lasers available today?

Certain medical lasers, while effective for the time they were developed in, have dated features that limit their function in a doctor’s office or that highlight the age of the technology behind them. For example, older medical lasers could only effectively treat patients with dark hair and paler complexions. This meant that doctors who wanted to treat patients with stronger tans or with more natural pigment in their skin had to purchase a second laser with a longer wavelength designed specifically to treat non-Caucasian patients. Compare this to modern medical lasers, which are able to effectively treat a skin issues affecting a range of a skin tones. Additionally, a number of older medical lasers rely on a cooling device to protect a patient’s skin from overheating or even from experiencing a change in their skin’s pigmentation. Though this feature was a necessity in older medical lasers, today it’s an indicator that the tool in your office may be contributing to unwanted side effects in your patients.

Both of these examples highlight the shortcomings of older medical lasers. If your practice still requires multiple medical lasers to perform the same cosmetic procedures on patients of different backgrounds, or if you’re worried that your medical lasers are too harsh on your patients’ skin, it’s time to consider replacing your older tools with a modern laser for hair removal.

How can new laser technology help my patients and my practice?

Modern medical lasers offer an effective alternative to older medical lasers due to their gentleness, quickness and effectiveness. For example, micropulse lasers such as Aerolase do not require the same cooling devices that older long-pulse lasers do. This same gentleness and effectiveness reduces the risk of complications related to laser hair removal in all skin tones, and allows modern medical lasers to treat tanned or darker skinned individuals as easily as fair-skinned patients. New laser technology also reduces the risk of patients suffering from skin irritation, burns, hyperpigmentation, and other similar side effects. And if you purchase a multi-purpose modern laser, you’ll be able to save your practice money and time thanks to this combination of better results and the ability to treat more patients, more safely, with a single medical laser.

Though using up to date equipment will certainly benefit your practice, it’s also important to remember that using the right laser for hair removal is only part of the equation if you’re looking to boost patient satisfaction and your practice’s results. Staying up to date on latest news in your field and understanding new procedures and technology is just as important in completing a successful procedure as the tool that you use. By combining modern knowledge, licensing and certifications with the best equipment on the market today, your practice can set itself on the road to success.
