Is it
safe for my skin?
A
1064 nm laser called the Lyra was the first laser FDA approved for hair
removal of all skin types. Prior to this laser, dark complected and tanned
patients could not be treated with a laser due to the high absorbency of
light in melanin (the pigment in skin and hair). The 1064nm wavelength's low
absorption in melanin makes it an ideal and safe treatment, achieving
outstanding results while maintaining the normal appearance of the skin. The
Sciton Image™ Laser delivers this 1064 wavelength faster and more
comfortably then previous generations of lasers. The laser beam passes
through the skin and is absorbed in the hair follicle residing underneath
the skin surface. The laser energy destroys the follicle with the heat that
it generates. Destroyed hairs are then either dissolved within the skin or
extruded by the body. Because the laser beam is larger in diameter than the
hair follicle, a large number of hairs can be treated simultaneously.
