The Dangers And Safety Measures Of Laser Hair Removal Cincinnati

By Essie Osborn


To start with, it would be important to note that there are so many popular hair removal techniques available in the medical industry today, and people with different skin type and color will require a different kind of treatment. Laser hair removal Cincinnati is one of the most famous techniques used to remove hair from the skin. This article takes an in-depth look at the nature of the skin and the process of removing hair from the skin through lasers devices.

The main danger that is associated with laser stems from inadvertent exposure to the emissions. Exposure of the rays to an individual may happen directly from the beams coming from the lasers or through reflection from an object such as a mirror, glass or a picture frame. The skin and the eyes are the two common parts, which are at risk of the dangerous rays from the lasers.

The people at risk in the whole of this process are the client receiving the service and the person offering the service. The other groups of person who are subject to the dangers of the rays are those operating the device, also referred to as the lasers personnel. In the case where there are combustible materials, fire could easily break out when exposed to the lasers beams.

Laser devices emit one or more pulses of infrared rays. Once the rays pass through the lighter colored skin, the melanin in the follicles will absorb them. Once the melanin absorbs the rays, it converts it to heat energy. This energy does destroy the follicles.

The light that passes through the curved cornea is passed onto the fovea, which is the area of the retina that provides the sharpest eyesight. Focusing lasers light by the eyes can lead to an increase for energy absorbed by the retina. The laser beams from the hair removal system also passes through this region. This causes a very small amount of light to be absorbed by a very small are of the eye.

The energy that comes from most of the devices is a beam of pulsed energy made from the wavelength in the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelengths are invisible because they are beyond the normal human eyes visual response range. It is difficult to see the emitted energy from the lasers devices and thus the term infrared radiation, rather than light, would be the correct term to refer to the emitted light.

There are other devices used to remove hair from the skin but they are not lasers. For instance, Intense Pulse Light systems are not lasers. They generate invisible infrared rays and visible light and them emit high intensity pulses usually to a wavelength of up to five hundred to twelve hundred nanometer. Longer wavelengths will penetrate deeper in the skin and the shorter ones shallower.

Before treating a client, make sure you cover their eyes from the inadvertent exposure. You can use a suitable method such a protective glasses, corneal shields or pads. Eye protection is generally important because you do not want people to go through any injuries during treatment.
