What is the effect of this equipment on depilation activities?

Beforehand, the depth of the skin that laser rays could penetrate was between 0.3-0.5 mm. however with this technology, which was developed in Welmar Labs at Harward University; it is possible to penetrate for 3 mm with ktp and 7 mm and yag implementations. With Gemini Laser System, there is no such thing as instant hair shedding. With Alexandrite Lasers, instant hair shedding happens as a result of the shots to the hair body not to the root. This is considered as a good result by the patient. However after a month, the hair grows back again. When direct shots to the root are made with Gemini Laser, it is possible to say that it is much more effective than other lasers. Another significant feature is that its cooler system is a brand new system developed at Harward University. During the process, upper layer of the skin, epidermis, should be cooled properly but the dermis part, where hair root is, should be burnt with high heat and hair root should be eliminated. While doing this, it is important that the upper layer of the skin is not affected.

Could this be the reason why persons cannot get long-term results from laser implementations?

There are several reasons for that. One of them is that laser systems cannot penetrate into more depths; another and more important one is that agagene phases of hair contain different durations on different parts of the body. Agagene phase is between 20-30% on armpits and arms, if you make shots while 70-80% of the hair on other parts is on shedding phase or rest phase, you can only be effective on 30% of hair. Anagene phase should pass on another hair root to make it effective. On hair, this can be up to 80%, but on face and cheek, anagene phase possibility of hair is around 70%.

What are the differences of this equipment from other lasers? Does it curtail the time of depilation?

You need to comply with the life period of hair, that is why on Gemini system, agagen phase should definitely be considered. For example, we call you for a second session after 1 month after first shot if the implementation area is face and after 1.5-2 months if the implementation area is armpits or arms. For legs, this period can be up to two and three months. Thus, for the third session, we may make appointments for the next 2-3 months. With Gemini Laser System, there is no such thing as instant hair shedding. With Alexandrite Lasers, instant hair shedding happens as a result of the shots to the hair body not to the root. This is considered as a good result by the patient. However after a month, the hair grows back again. Another significant feature is that its cooler system is a brand new system developed at Harward University. During the process, upper layer of the skin, epidermis, should be cooled properly but the dermis part, where hair root is, should be burnt with high heat and hair root should be eliminated. While doing this, it is important that the upper layer of the skin is not affected. For that, on Gemini Laser a protective system for upper layer of the skin has been developed. Cooling is made up to +5 on other laser systems, while with this system cooling is possible up to -5. Thus, while you send dense rays to the depths of the skin, you protect epidermis with the degree -5. With this way, skin burns and unwanted defects are diminished. This case is not common with Gemini Laser because you can get the same result as other laser with 1/3 less energy. With its less usage, tissue damage and swellings lessen. During this period, using sun protective is enough. For thinner hair, there are special efficiency adjustments and energy levels, which cannot be found on other lasers. Thus, for the thinnest hair, it can be used with high energy safely. Generally, on other lasers, there are 4 sport size headpieces while with Gemini system, we can use 42 different headpieces from 1mm to 10 mm. With 3 mm, we can get into 7mm depth and we do that with little energy. Another subject is that the stability of the energy given within the period of shots. With other lasers, little energy is applied at the beginning of the millisecond and in the end; higher energy is applied, while with Gemini, we make shots with the same energy level in that millisecond. Thus, tissue is made to be affected less by the energy. Also, it is the only laser to have the feature of having FDA approval on 21 indications.

What more can be said about the safety of the equipment?

The reliability of our equipment is proved with FDA approval on 21 indications. As you know, FDA approval, carried out in America, is given after long research period and experiments.

Recently, men prefer this implementation as well. Can men get this service in MAR-MED Marmara Esthetics and Beauty Center?

The number of our male and female patients is almost equal. Men generally apply for chest, back and shoulder hair.
