At the 11th International Biotechnology Forum OpenBio-2024, cosmetology specialist Viktoriia Sagdeeva presented her own treatment protocol designed to enhance the effectiveness of laser hair removal procedures through a sequential, dual-stage approach to thermal exposure on the hair follicle.
The proposed method is intended to improve treatment outcomes by combining established technologies within a structured protocol. The approach focuses on optimizing energy delivery to the hair follicle while maintaining procedural control and consistency. This concept reflects current industry demand for treatment efficiency, adaptability, and patient-centered care.
The protocol consists of multiple stages applied sequentially. During the initial stage, laser energy is delivered to heat the hair shaft and surrounding follicular structures through melanin absorption. This is followed by a mechanical hair removal step, which clears the follicular opening. A subsequent laser application is then delivered through the open follicular channel, enabling targeted energy exposure to deeper follicular structures.
A key aspect of the protocol is the anticipated synergistic interaction of two energy-delivery mechanisms: indirect thermal conduction via melanin and direct energy transmission through the open follicular channel. This dual approach is designed to enhance the consistency and depth of thermal exposure on the follicle compared to conventional single-stage techniques.
“The two-stage protocol is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis,” Sagdeeva noted during her presentation. “The first laser application targets melanin within the hair structure, while the second application, performed after mechanical hair removal, is delivered through the open follicular channel.
This sequential approach is intended to enhance the overall treatment effect under controlled clinical conditions.”
The presentation attracted interest among professionals in the fields of aesthetics and cosmetology, who noted the practical advantages of the method, including its potential to reduce the number of sessions required for visible hair reduction and to expand applicability across different hair and skin types. As with all aesthetic procedures, individual results may vary depending on patient characteristics and treatment parameters.
The OpenBio-2024 forum brings together scientists, clinicians, and industry representatives from multiple countries, including Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Nigeria, and others, and will continue until September 27, 2024.
As of September 26, 2024
