Laser procedures are now widely used in cosmetic dermatology and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair removal, skin rejuvenation, tattoo removal \u2013 these procedures are the most in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endocrinologists are often asked whether it is safe and possible to use this method. In various diseases of the endocrine organs<\/a>, such as, for example, Nodular goiter<\/a>, autoimmune thyroiditis<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, The thyroid gland<\/a> is located on the front surface of the neck close to the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To discuss the safety level of a laser, we must first explain what it is and how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a laser<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term \"Laser\" in English stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, it is a beam of light rays gathered in one direction, which has the ability to produce a strong thermal effect. So strong that in addition to skin care and various medical, including surgical, procedures, it can even be used to cut metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laser beam belongs to non-ionizing, or non-radiative, radiation, which poses minimal risk to the body when used in low doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The depth of action of the laser beam (in the case of alexandrite and diode, approximately 3-4 \u10db\u10db<\/strong>) as a rule, it does not go beyond the subcutaneous tissue and cannot reach the organs, therefore it lacks the ability to harm them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its effects are not associated with structural changes in endocrine organs, nor with functional changes in hormonal indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser hair removal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hair removal process itself is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser beams penetrate the skin to the hair follicles, where they are absorbed by the hair's melanin (the pigment that gives hair its color), where the light energy is converted into heat and damages the follicle, resulting in hair growth being inhibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During laser hair removal, the wavelength and duration of the pulses are specifically selected so that it does not go beyond the hair follicle and does not damage the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side effects and effectiveness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Side effects (mostly temporary) associated with laser procedures may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
