Hair Free for men
Almeka Medical Center uses Nd YAG laser having homogeneous photothermolysis principle for removal of hair. Homogeneous photothermolysis is based on the fact that laser energy acts on a certain tissue volume homogeneously. Rapidly dividing cells with high cellular metabolism are the first to be affected by absorbed laser energy. The hair bulb cells in the anagen phase (period of active stable growth) have a high metabolic rate and are much more sensitive to heat. Surrounding tissue is preserved, while at the same time, hair follicles are irreversibly destroyed. Due to the very low absorption in melanin, competition between skin and hair pigment is less, which makes this method more suitable for darker skin types. Effective Hair Free for Men is providing Almeka with best quality..

Rapidly dividing cells with high cellular metabolism, like hair bulb cells in the anagen phase, are more sensitive to the absorbed laser energy. This leads to the irreversible destruction of hair follicles while preserving surrounding tissues.
