Chapter 3 – Fundamentals of Laser/IPL Hair Removal 2nd Edition
By the end of this Chapter you will know why...
In a single sentence, the most important parameter, by far, is fluence! Assuming you have a decent wavelength (anything between 600 and 1200nm) and a reasonable pulsewidth (between 1 and 50ms) then it is the fluence which will dictate whether or not you will achieve a good clinical result.
Fluence is KING!!!
If you learn nothing else from this chapter, that is fine! At least you should obtain decent results. But don’t forget the skin cooling too....
