How laser hair reduction works
Laser light targets pigment in the hair to heat and disable the follicle. Hairs respond best in the anagen or growth phase, which is why a course of sessions is needed to catch different follicles at the right time. medicalphysics.institute
Why Primelase HR
Primelase offers high peak output with Ultra Short Pulse delivery and sapphire contact cooling that maintains a skin surface temperature near 5°C. Settings can use 755 nm, 810 nm or a blend that includes 810, 940 and 1060 nm to tailor treatment across a wide range of skin phototypes when clinically appropriate. Sinclair
How many sessions will I need
Most clients need a course of treatments because of the hair growth cycle. You will start to notice shedding and softening after early sessions, with results building across the course. Hormones, area and hair colour influence outcomes. medicalphysics.institute+1
Can darker skin be treated
Modern diode platforms with appropriate wavelengths and parameters can treat Fitzpatrick I to VI after assessment and a patch test. Your practitioner will choose settings to balance effectiveness and skin protection. Wiley Online Library+1
Safety and common effects
Temporary redness or swelling can occur. Rare risks include pigment change or infection. Cooling helps protect the skin surface, and you will receive clear aftercare to minimise problems. Always attend a consultation and patch test first. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust+1
