From
my extensive experience, that includes roughly 50000 laser treatments performed
during my long career, I can conclude quite certainly that there is a
strong correlation between the price of the laser procedure and the
return that will be obtained by the end of the day. It is true, however,
that an expensive treatment price will not always guarantee high
performance quality, but a significantly low price will defiantly
increase the risk of poor quality performance to almost 100%.
It
should be noted that the procedure price depends on many factors and
lowering it drastically will always come on the expense of factors that
are essential for a high procedure performance.
Who
is not familiar with the saying "Time is money"? In our case time
equals cost, that of the machine operator and the cost of its
amortization. to ensure complete destruction of the hair follicle there
is a need for a minimum amount of energy, a laser energy. Meaning, the
amount of energy that will reach to the follicle is a function of the
machine strength, of its operation time and its technical condition.
If
you wonder why cant we just use a higher setting of the laser the
reason is to avoid burning the patient skin. There is a limit to the
setting that we can use before a damage might occur.
Therefore
there is no other option but to work in a lower setting on one hand and
increasing the session time on the other. This is similar to a water
pipe designed to fill a pool - the stronger the current, the shorter the
time it would take it to fill the pool.
And
how is the technical condition of the machine effecting? Simple, the
laser machine uses laser diodes to produce the laser beam. When those
diodes are new, they produce strong laser beam, however when they are
old and over used, their produced laser is getting weaker until it is no
longer capable to destroy the follicles. Its like our water pipe can
deliver a very small quantity of water until it will never be able to
fill up the pool.
If so, why cant the diodes just replaced when their power have gone and they are not efficient anymore?
The
answer is very simple: Money. The cost of replacing the diodes in a
laser hair removal system is extremely high and can easily reach some
tens of thousands of dollars. Many of the clinics, especially those who
offer a very low price for their services, will prefer to keep working
with the machine even its in a state of 0 effectiveness.
An obvious conclusion - the price of a laser procedure will necessarily
influence on its quality and anyone that consider having it done, should take
in in account.
