Device Spotlight: Hair Removal With Venus Velocity™ and Venus Epileve™

It happens every year: as the weather heats up, so does the demand for hair removal treatments. Is your practice ready this year? Hair removal treatments continue to be one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments for both men and women. In 2018, the global laser hair removal market size was valued at $587 million , and it’s expected to grow at a rate of 15% from now until 2026.

Just in the last two years, the hair removal treatment segment has skyrocketed, with the number of procedures performed increasing 69% in 2021 over 2020, and revenue increasing by 72%, to over $76 million in 2021 vs. $44 million in 2020 . Summer is always the best time to capitalize on the growing demand for hair removal. With this busy season arriving soon, you’ll want to have the best technology for hair removal on deck to meet your customer’s needs.

Diode Laser Technology For Hair Removal

Since 2005, diode laser technology has outstripped earlier modalities in terms of efficacy, speed, and safety for a broader spectrum of shades of skin. In terms of patient comfort and satisfaction, diode laser hair removal is less painful than electrolysis and other lasers while offering superior results as far as the permanency of the hair removal. Additionally, diode lasers offer better precision during treatment. This means that they can selectively target a particular body part and effectively remove the hair without harming the surrounding skin of the area. Combined precision and performance make diode laser treatments faster and more comfortable for the consumer, which in turn makes them more popular. In addition, the variable pulse intensity and duration make them safer for those with darker skin tones, with a reduced chance of incurring side effects such as hyperpigmentation and other post-procedural inflammation.
