The laser used an American diode with tri-cluster technology. This laser will provide the benefit of 3 wavelengths in one handpiece. The energy is delivered simultaneously to the skin targeting different structures within the hair follicle.

PermaICE  triband Diode laser is a semiconductor laser using tri-clustered diode technology. This provides the benefits of 3 effective laser wavelengths for hair removal in one device with energy delivered simultaneously (808nm, 755nm and 1064nm). Each wavelength targets a different structure within the hair follicle.

The 3 main target areas are the Bulge, Bulb and Papilla.

• The 808nm wavelength can reach the dermal papilla which is deep penetration of the hair follicle. 808nm has a moderate melanin absorption making it relatively safe for all skin types including darker skins (except skin type 6). Its deep penetration capabilities target also the bulb and bulb of the hair follicle.
• The Alexandrite 755nm wavelength offers more powerful energy absorption by melanin making it ideal for most hair types and hair colour and is especially useful for lighter hairs and thinner hairs. The 755nm wavelength targets the bulge of the hair follicle.
• The Nd:Yag 1064nm wavelength is characterized by lower melanin absorption making it more focused for darker skin types. The Nd:Yag also offers the deepest penetration for the hair follicle allowing it to target the bulb and Papilla. Higher water absorption generates a higher temperature increasing the thermal profile of the laser treatment for most effective hair removal.

By combining these characteristics with the correct pulse duration ensures enough thermal damage to the target tissues of the hair follicle leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected. By providing the correct energy density it ensures energy output is strong enough and long enough to damage the target tissue. The use of epidermal protection in the form of cooling ensures the protection of the patient during the treatment
