Candela is in the business of providing cosmetic and medical clinics with the most advanced technology available on the market. It draws on worldwide expertise to deliver local benefits for leading laser skin treatment clinics throughout Australia. For many people there is confusion as to what laser technology is all about. The amazing thing about lasers is that they harness the power of light and control it. Laser light has several special qualities: • It comes in one colour • It comes in a thin beam • It can be made very intense, or not intense at all and it can be focused on a large • or tiny spot • It only travels in straight lines Lasers are most often used for permanent hair reduction in the cosmetic & beauty industry. The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light directed onto it. The laser light, selectively absorbed by the follicle, damages its functions and impairs its ability to produce more hair. At the level of the follicle, the laser light absorbed by the pigments, is then transformed into heat that damages the hair but not the surrounding skin.
