Fotona Avalanche Laser Hair Removal: Is It Right for You?
Hello, I'm Dr. Lee Jong-jin, head physician at Ceramique Clinic.
With each new hair removal device that comes out, many people seem to have the expectation: "Could this really be permanent this time? Can I finish it in just one go?"
The Fotona Avalanche is likely one of the devices that receives such anticipation.
However, it's difficult to say that a device is unconditionally good just because it's a good device.
If you've been curious about Fotona Avalanche hair removal, I'll explain it in detail today, so please take it into consideration. ^^
1. Fotona Avalanche
Hair removal ultimately boils down to how accurately you deliver heat energy to the melanin pigment.
The Fotona Avalanche has two wavelengths (755nm, 1064nm) for this energy delivery.
It allows the practitioner to ensure safety and increase effectiveness by tailoring the treatment to the patient's various skin conditions, for example, dark skin or deeply embedded hairs. Think of it as opening up possibilities.
With typical hair removal lasers, there have always been limitations in energy control due to deep male beard hairs or the common dark skin tone of Asians.
In particular, the risk of pigmentation or burns that can occur when using strong energy on dark skin with a lot of melanin is the most concerning aspect.
The Fotona Avalanche's dual-wavelength system expands the technical options for finding a balance between protecting the skin's surface and destroying hair follicles, addressing these limitations of typical hair removal.
Can I get it done in just one session?
2. Is One Session Enough?
From the patient's perspective, fewer treatments are always better, but hair removal is not something that can be completed in just one session.
This isn't a matter of whether the equipment is good or bad, but rather due to the hair growth cycle.
For the laser to be effective, the hair must be in the growth phase (anagen phase).
Not all the hairs on your body are growing simultaneously.
Therefore, hairs that were dormant need to be targeted with the laser again when they emerge later.
This is the most realistic reason why repeated treatments are necessary.
3. Number of Treatments
The typically recommended number of treatments is between 5 and 10 sessions on average.
Within this range, most hairs are exposed to the laser in accordance with their growth cycle.
However, what's important here is 'individual variation'.
Thick male beard areas with a lot of hair may require more than 10 sessions, while arms and legs with fine hairs may be completed sooner.
Ultimately, the basic principle of achieving hair removal is the same, but you may be wondering 'why specifically use the Fotona Avalanche?'
The reason is 'because it can target various hair types more safely'.
For example, some people have residual hair even after receiving several hair removal treatments with other lasers, or they have difficulty increasing the energy due to concerns about pigmentation after the procedure.
Avalanche allows for treatment plans that consider both the depth of fine hairs and the sensitivity of the skin with its two wavelengths.
In the end, a 'good device' is one that allows the practitioner to select efficient energy based on the individual conditions of the patient.
As you've seen, hair removal devices each have their own advantages in targeting hair in different ways.
Because laser treatments directly stimulate the skin with energy, it's important to consider not only the advantages of each device but also the potential for side effects.
Rather than making a hasty decision based solely on the advantages of Fotona Avalanche,
we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to carefully assess whether the benefits of this device can be maximized based on your hair thickness, skin sensitivity, and treatment history.
