Simply Googling hair removal techniques will reveal slew of options, available at many different price points, for those looking into hair removal strategies and procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>A History Of Laser Hair Removal<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laser hair removal was first &#8211; and accidentally &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/emedicine.medscape.com\/article\/843831-overview#a5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discovered in 1963<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but really came into being in the early 1980\u2019s. The original theory of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/emedicine.medscape.com\/article\/843831-overview#a5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">selective photothermolysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as developed by Anderson and Parrish, however, did not necessarily provide permanent hair removal. It wasn\u2019t until 1998 that Dierickx and associates finally reported finding a long-term solution for laser hair removal. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, the procedure of laser hair removal has come a long way and gained immense popularity. In 2014, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.austinpug.org\/american-laser-hair-removal-market-explodes-in-2012\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nearly 1 million procedures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were performed in the U.S. Multiple methods have developed, including the Pulsed Light, the Diode Laser, the Nd: YAG Laser, the Alexandrite Laser, and the Ruby Laser. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>The Aerolase Hair Removal Method<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Nd: YAG Laser was <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photonics.com\/EDU\/Handbook.aspx?AID=25042\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">originally developed in the 1960s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and has many uses &#8211; not all of which have to do with dermatology. Historically, the Nd: YAG has received criticism for not providing a permanent solution to hair removal. In 2007, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/aerolase.com\/article\/long-term-hair-removal-with-a-novel-0-65msec-ndyag-laser\/\">a study was conducted<\/a> to evaluate the Nd: 1064nm laser for long-term hair solutions, and found great success &#8211; up to 93% in some cases!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because, unlike other lasers and light-based equipment, the Nd:YAG 1064nm &#8211; which is the technology used in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aerolase.com\/treatment-list\/hair-removal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; uses a 0.65-millisecond pulse duration, which is shorter than the Thermal relaxation time of the skin around the hair follicle. This enables the heat from the laser to be sealed within the follicle without spreading to the surrounding skin. Technicians can therefore perform this procedure without using skin cooling or gels and still achieve accurate, long-term results. The result has led to a comfortable, cost-effective procedure that many modern consumers are more than satisfied with.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of whether you believe evolution played a role in the general hairlessness of humans, the scientific evolution of lasers certainly had a hand in the development of better products on the market today.
