What type of glasses should wear for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal equipment emits a laser beam of a specific wavelength, which can be selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles. The energy of the laser is absorbed by the melanin and converted into heat energy, thereby destroying the hair follicle tissue and making the hair lose its ability to regenerate. Since the laser only works on the hair follicles containing melanin and has almost no effect on the surrounding skin tissue, laser hair removal is safer and more effective.

Laser hair removal protective glasses can effectively filter out the laser of a specific wavelength emitted by the laser hair removal equipment, prevent the laser from directly shining on the eyes, and protect the retina, cornea and other important parts of the eyes from damage. For example, it can filter out lasers with common laser hair removal wavelengths such as 808nm and 980nm.

Types of laser hair removal glasses：Semiconductor laser safety glasses,  IPL safety goggles

①.Semiconductor laser safety glasses

The operating wavelength range of semiconductor lasers can usually be between 800 and 1,000 nm, such as 808nm, 980nm. These lasers are often used in laser hair removal senarios. Safety glasses for semiconductor lasers usually use glass lenses and polycarbonate lenses, but compared with polycarbonate lenses, glass lenses also have higher OD levels and better visibility.

②.IPL safety goggles

he operating wavelength range of IPL Machine can usually be between 200 and 1,800 nm. These devices are often used in laser hair removal scenarios. Safety glasses for IPL devices usually use polycarbonate sheets and have low light transmittance because IPL devices produce very glaring light.The most common type of IPL safety glasses are green. Green is the standard IPL color and is used for most applications.
