When Was The Laser Invented?
Hair removal methods have been around for centuries, but lasers have completely redefined the practice.
The first working laser was introduced in 1960. Operated by Theodore Maiman, it consisted of a high-power flash lamp that shone on a ruby rod coated with silver. Dubbed the “Ruby” laser, its light source pulsed every few seconds. Though its wavelength was short, it was extremely powerful. And once this technology was developed, it didn’t take long to advance.
How Was Laser Hair Removal Developed?
Laser hair removal likely came as a byproduct of an experiment. In the mid-1970s, the development of the alexandrite laser made light-based hair removal a commercial possibility since it was a lot safer than older ones on the market. Yet it tended to under-heat follicles, so it wasn’t terribly effective for hair reduction.
It was made possible in the 1980s to remove birthmarks with lasers. And it was noticed that the hair in a treated birthmark’s region didn’t grow back. These first medical lasers targeted melanin, but the problem was in their strength – they burned hair and skin alike if the skin happened to be tanned or dark. But this changed with the development of pulsed diode array lasers. These made laser hair removal a viable option for people with darker skin.
Today’s Laser Hair Removal Technology
Researchers have since improved on earlier laser hair removal models. At LaserAway, we use the best of the best, which is the Cynosure Apogee Elite laser. Thanks to its dual wavelengths, it is safe and effective for all skin types, skin tones, and hair pigments.
Licensed and experienced laser technicians will know how to adjust laser wavelengths and use a variety of lasers to achieve the best hair removal results, totally individualized to the patient. Nonetheless, you should be sure to research doctors and facilities before you settle on a hair removal provider.
