treatment
Neodymium laser hair removal is performed when there is an urgent need to get rid of hair. Main indications:
- The presence of light, red and gray hair that is not removed by standard lasers
- Deep hair roots that are difficult to reach with other hair removal methods
- High skin sensitivity (neodymium laser minimizes the effect on melanin. Thus, the risk of skin irritation is reduced)
- Epilation of large areas of the body
In addition, laser hair removal helps to remove excess hair associated with hormonal imbalances. It is performed for hirsutism (excessive hair growth on the face of women) and hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth in unusual places, such as on the ears).
There are several restrictions on neodymium laser hair removal. For example, this technique is prohibited in the presence of diabetes mellitus stage 1-2.
Other contraindications to this type of hair removal:
- Any type of cancer. Laser exposure to hair can provoke aggressive development of the disease
- The presence of benign neoplasms on or under the skin
- Scratches, cuts or other damage to the skin
- Moles in the treatment area
It is also not recommended to perform hair removal during breastfeeding.
General information
Device operating modes
The laser operates in one of three modes. They look like this:
- Nanosecond. This mode is based on short, powerful flashes
- Microsecond. This mode also uses short flashes, but with a different power
- Long-pulse. In particular, it is in this mode that the hair removal technique is carried out
Using a laser can cause slight discomfort (this is especially true for people sensitive to pain - the beam penetrates to a depth of 8 mm), but the sensations are usually bearable. In order to minimize discomfort, laser treatment is carried out with an effective cooling system. It helps prevent the risk of burns.

How to prepare?
First of all, you need to grow your hair to a length of 3-5 mm. This means a complete rejection of any methods of hair removal (approximately 2 weeks before the session). In addition, before hair removal, try to avoid intense tanning. Additional preparation measures for using an FT laser are not required.
At the first consultation with a cosmetologist, you will need to tell in detail about all the diseases and list the medications you are taking (including recently prescribed ones).
Our clinic uses modern lasers with cooling systems. You can sign up for neodymium laser hair removal at the K+31 center (Moscow) and find out the cost of the service on the website and by phone.

Features of laser hair removal with neodymium laser
This type of laser emits light with a wavelength of 1064 nanometers. This allows it to effectively penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. This laser removes hair by affecting the melanin contained in the hair follicles.
The light it emits penetrates to a depth of 6-8 millimeters, reaching the subcutaneous layer, hair follicles and blood vessels. The laser flash affects not only the hair, but also the blood pigment oxyhemoglobin. This use of the laser leads to the cessation of blood supply to the hair follicle, which then slowly dies.
One of the advantages of the neodymium laser is the wavelength. It is safe for the skin and effective against hair.
Therefore, Nd lasers are used not only in laser hair removal. They are used in the treatment of age spots and other dermatological problems. In particular, cosmetologists use lasers to remove tattoos, smooth out scars, treat acne, and affect vascular neoplasms.
