How to Use a Laser Hair Removal Machine?
Beauty professionals often seek the most effective and safe methods for permanent hair reduction. This article explains how to use a laser hair removal machine in clinical or salon environments, focusing on preparation, operation, and aftercare to optimize results and client satisfaction.
How to Use a Laser Hair Removal Machine?
Understanding Laser Hair Removal Technology
- Laser hair removal uses focused light energy (typically 755 nm, 808 nm, or 1064 nm wavelengths) to target and destroy hair follicles.
- Leading technologies: Diode, Alexandrite, and Nd:YAG lasers.
- Ideal for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI, but settings must be adjusted according to skin type and hair color (PubMed).
Pre-Treatment Preparation
- Consultation:
- Assess client’s skin type, hair color, and medical history.
- Discuss contraindications (pregnancy, recent sun exposure, photosensitizing medications).
- Skin Test:
- Always perform a patch test to rule out adverse reactions.
- Area Preparation:
- Shave the target area 24 hours before the session.
- Ensure no lotions, deodorants, or cosmetics are present on the treatment area.
- Protective Measures:
- Provide the client and technician with certified safety goggles (ANSI Z136.3).
Machine Operation Steps
- Device Setup:
- Select the appropriate handpiece based on area size and hair density.
- Adjust fluence (energy), pulse duration, and repetition rate according to manufacturer guidelines.
- Skin Cooling:
- Use contact cooling, chilled gel, or air cooling for client comfort and to protect epidermal layers.
- Application Technique:
- Hold the applicator perpendicular to the skin, maintaining full contact.
- Use short, overlapping passes to ensure complete coverage.
- Monitor for skin redness or client discomfort as signs to adjust parameters.
- Session Duration:
- Small areas: 10–15 minutes.
- Larger areas (legs, back): 30–60 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
- Immediate Aftercare:
- Apply soothing gel or aloe vera.
- Advise on sun avoidance and use of SPF 30+ for two weeks post-treatment.
- Common Side Effects:
- Temporary redness, mild swelling—should subside within 24–48 hours.
- Rare complications: Hyperpigmentation, blistering (as reported in JAMA Dermatology).
- Session Frequency:
- Recommend 4–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Professional Tips for Optimal Results
- Use high-quality machines with FDA or CE certification.
- Follow manufacturer protocols precisely.
- Maintain thorough client records and treatment logs.

What is the delivery time for customized equipment?
The delivery time typically depends on the complexity of the project and the order quantity. Generally, it takes 6 to 12 weeks from design confirmation to product delivery. The exact timeline will be negotiated with the client upon order confirmation.
Do you support small-batch custom production?

Treatment
How long does each session take?
A typical acne removal session lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. You can often fit a session into your lunch break.
How does laser acne removal work?
Laser acne removal works by targeting the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin to reduce oil production, kill acne-causing bacteria, and decrease inflammation. The laser penetrates the skin’s surface without damaging surrounding tissue, helping to clear active acne and prevent future breakouts.
