The Syneron Comet Laser delivers 2 pulses per second
making one of the fastest lasers of its kind in existence for the medical
removal of body hair. This allows large body areas such
as the legs, chest, arms and back to be effectively and simply
treated in less than 30 minutes!
The laser operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis
whereby melanin absorbs the energy and heat build-up in the shaft
results in destruction of the follicle. We apply a cool gel and use
a handheld treatment unit to deliver very rapid flashes of energy
that safely penetrate the skin and disable hundreds of hair
follicles simultaneously. Much of the hair is removed immediately
with the remaining hair falling out within a week or two. Due to the
properties of the hair growth cycle, only hairs in the anagen
(active) phase will be affected during treatment so multiple
treatments are necessary with laser hair removal.
