How many sessions of 1064 nm yag laser hair removal are required?

How many treatments are required? Since the 1064 nm yag laser hair removal only affects the hair follicles when they are in the anagen phase, it may take 6 to 8 treatments to deactivate the follicles that subsequently enter the anagen phase. The interval between treatments is 4 to 6 weeks. Some patients may require additional treatments due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, and skin type.

Is the treatment for the body different from the treatment for the face?

The 1064 nm yag laser hair removal, for example on the legs, back, or chest, is usually more complex than laser facial hair removal because the surface area is larger. Multiple laser treatments may be required to effectively remove body hair. Not all hairs grow at the same rate. Some hairs are in a resting cycle while others are growing. The length of time for each 1064 nm yag laser hair removal treatment varies. In general, the larger the body surface area, the longer the laser hair removal treatment will take.

Is it safe for dark skin?

Apolo has developed a high-power 1064 nm yag laser for hair removal, enabling laser spas and clinics to offer hair removal to clients with darker skin. Compared to other shorter wavelengths, the 1064 nm yag laser wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, thus successfully bypassing hyperpigmentation or melanin in the skin. Because the 1064 nm yag laser treatment essentially bypasses the melanin in your skin, it is the safest option for moderate to dark skin types. In addition to bypassing the epidermis, the 1064 nm yag laser hair removal provides superior contact cooling, ensuring that the top layer of skin remains cool, protecting the skin from burns, and allowing us to comfortably remove unwanted hair from brown and dark skin. The combination of these two factors allows laser technicians and providers to offer the most advanced and safest hair removal services for darker skin tones.

The recommended minimum age to begin multifunction laser hair removal is 14 or older, and teen females should be hormonally stable. Teens under 18 need to have a parent present at the first consultation and have written consent from a parent or guardian. The risks of 1064 nm yag laser hair removal are the same for them as they are for adults. If the correct laser is used and teens adhere to a good aftercare regimen, the benefits are amazing.
