This PowerPoint helps students to consider the concept of infinity.
Avante 4 final
1.
2.
3. Three layers: epidermis, dermis and
subcutaneous tissue
Glands
Excessive heating past the dermis into
subcutaneous tissue – third degree burn
Ablation should not go past reticular dermis
(yellowish color)
4. Sebaceous Glands – attached to hair follicle and
produce sebum
Eccrine Glands – produce sweat
Apocrine Glands – sweat glands on face,
armpits, and genital area
5. Hair removal methods that interfere
with laser hair removal:
Tweezing
Threading
Sugaring
Waxing
Depilatories
Electrolysis
Shaving
is the
best
method
7. There is no tissue reaction
without absorption
8. How it works:
Skin is cooled
Laser is pulsed onto skin
Laser is attracted to the pigment
Hits the hair bulb and matrix of nerves
and vessels surrounding the hair bulb
Many hairs affected in one spot
Hair follicles damaged
9. Use of gel: Ultrasound gel
Some equipment will require gels
10. After the laser is pulsed, the skin may start to
react.
Hair singed effect
Perifollicular edema (PFE)
Pinkness or red tone
Length of hairs may affect treatment
11. Energy is converted to heat
Tissue is absorbing the laser energy
Heat is necessary but skin must be protected
TRT and tissue interaction
Rep rate and tissue interaction
