Laser Hair Removal
Hirsutism is the presence of excessive body hair and is very distressing to many people. In many cases there’s no obvious cause, but some individuals have hormonal disturbances that is attributed as the cause. Excessive hairiness of the body or face affects approximately 10% of ladies between the ages of 18 and 35. In addition, hirsutism is additionally a feature of menopause in a few ladies. Hirsutism causes considerable psychological distress in many people. This serious condition can avoid individuals from confidently integrating into society (Jiang, 2002). Over the previous few years, laser hair removal has steadily developed and improved. Basically, laser hair removal is a health process that uses laser light, that is an intense, pulsating beam of light to eliminate undesirable hair. Laser hair removal Atlanta has been utilized for healthcare issues and cosmetic procedures. The efficacy of laser hair removal is usually accepted in dermatology and is widely practiced. To thermally destroy the hair follicle without harming the surrounding skin tissue, the laser has to target the melanin in the hair follicle with a particular wavelength in the 600-1100nm range. In latest years, selective photothermolysis based on laser light has been introduced into the aesthetic marketplace for epilation or hair removal procedures. Epilation procedures are often utilized in cosmetic procedures to eliminate hair from unwanted places. While selective absorption of light by hair chromospheres causes damage to hair follicles, it leaves the surrounding skin undamaged. This is based on the selective photothermolysis theory. It is theorized that thermal damage is many selective if the pulse length is shorter than or equal to the relaxation time of the target. Although Hair Laser Removal (HLR) is considered an inherently secure treatment, there will be ways to optimize the advantage to risk ratio of the laser process. In the present project, we aimed to model the thermodynamics on the skin surface tissue and hair follicle during laser hair removal. Different kinds of lasers with various wavelengths and properties were modeled to determine which laser would be the best in destroying the hair follicle to avoid development of hair after epilation treatments. The laser that both satisfies our criteria for hair damage, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin would be the best one for use in epilation treatments.
