What is the Comet and why is it considered the new Gold Standard for laser hair removal systems?
The Comet is the first and only permanent hair reduction technology to combine laser energy with radio frequency (RF) to provide the safest, comfortable solution for effective, predictable and fast hair removal treatments. By combining the light and electrical energy, it is possible to isolate the treatment area and leave the surrounding skin safer from potentially harmful side effects. Here is how the Comet works — First, the diode laser is fired, which preheats the targeted hair follicles. A few milliseconds later, the bi-polar radiofrequency energy is fired. Like any electrical energy, radiofrequency follows the path of least resistance. Since the laser has just preheated the hair follicles, the radiofrequency follows that path and increases the level of heat in the precise area where it is needed to accomplish its objective. The picture below shows a visual depiction of the process. The best thing about using both light and electrical energies in this synergistic manner is that it
