DM9000 Professional Precision Laser Hair Removal Unit
The All New DM9000 system is the most powerful pin-point laser epilator currently available. It comes standard with a 808nm QCW laser diode delivering a full 150 J/cm2 per second in a 2mm round beam. Designed for ultra-precise detail work such as eyebrow shaping and hairline contouring as well as maintenance applications for clients who may be finished with agressive professional treatments.
With a 260g (9oz) diamond coated brass instrument that is perfectly balanced for extended use, there is no better choice. The 2mm-round spot beam is powerful enough to use for precise professional work, as well, addressing hard to reach spots and isolated hair follicles that have entered the anagen phase. This system also features a pulse counter and a high/low output switch, features normally found on much more expensive units.
Along with the base unit and brass laser wand, the package includes protective eyewear, epilation tweezers, a topical cooling gel (for pain management), and carbon dye (for increased effectiveness). The user manual shows how to properly set up the equipment as well as demonstrating basic treatments.
How many treatments will be needed? Hair grows in cycles. The laser is only effective on hair in its active growing cycle. At any one time there will only be certain hairs in that growing phase. This means that consistent treatments at appropriate intervals are absolutely necessary for the best possible results. The number of treatments required depends upon your skin, hair coloring, coarseness of the hair and density per treated area.
Everyone will require at least 2-3 treatments as the process is only effective on hairs during their growing cycle. Additional treatment will be necessary to treat other follicles when they re-enter the growth phase and produce new growth.
This setup is outstanding for body hair, eyebrow contouring, facial hair removal and more. CAUTION: when using near the eyes, the patient should wear 'tanning bed' type protective eyewear, not included.
Complete Starter Kit Includes
Laser handpiece module (0-150Jcm2/sec 808nm pinpoint beam), 1 laser power supply, 1 pair of laser protection eyewear, 50ml carbon dye, 50ml Dermal Plast lidocaine preparation, precision stainless steel tweezers and instructions. This system is perfect for hair by hair or detail work. Treatment time for dense moustache is about 20 minutes. Like all hair removal systems, a series of treatments over a period of time will be required due to hair growth cycles.

Professional-Grade vs Home-Use Laser Epilators
The 'Inside Scoop' on Home-Use Laser Hair Removal
It is no secret that a new boom in the self-care industry is happening with the staggering number of home-use laser epilation systems that are entering the market each month. New brands are sweeping the internet with exposure. So what is the real story here? Are these home use machines as good as the professional ones that cost thousands of dollars?
No....... and here's why.
Output Power: Insufficient. Did you know that Federal Law requires the manufacturers of laser equipment (medical and non-medical related) to list the classification of the laser, the wavelength and output power in watts (or in the 'toy home use' machines, milliwatts)? Strange that none of the 'infomercial' brands do so. Maybe it is because they don't want you to know the real numbers (very weak).
What limits their power? A combination of things, but it is mostly the power supply which drives the semiconductor diode (what creates the laser beam). Professional units have high-amperage power supplies which are actually quite big and heavy. It takes a full 30 amps to run a 50 watt laser, even in pulsed mode. That is more than twice what the average household wall socket can provide. Home-use machines use batteries (or meager wall transformers) and produce only 'milliamps' (fractions of a watt). There is no way to cheat electrical science or physics. High powered lasers need high powered driver units.
Limitation Number 2: Optics. A laser must be shaped, focused and directed to be usable. The optics required to do this are quite expensive. Tiny slivers of glass, or in some cases three lens configurations, which cost more by themselves than most of the home-use machines available. These 'toys' do not use optics at all, just a cheap piece of glass to actually 'diffuse', not focus, the laser energy. Why diffuse it? To make it safe for public use. In so doing, they make it worthless for medical use.
Limitation Number 3: Diode. The semiconductor laser diode in professional grade machines of 30 CW or QCW watts or more cost on average $600. The reason for this is the construction material of the semiconductor itself, called gallium arsenide. This element is actually more valuable than gold or platinum per ounce. As a matter of fact, it is one of the most expensive substances on Earth. Home use devices use low wattage diodes with microscopic crystals of the gallium arsenide, which results in 'microscopic' amounts of laser output.
Limitation Number 4: Battery Life. Some brands are capable of producing a reasonable amount of laser power (although diffused as mentioned). The only problem is the tiny battery in the device is only good for minutes of use before needing recharged. Try using that system when you have large areas to work on. You will be able to do about 100 hairs before a recharge is necessary.
The simple truth of the matter? Home-use devices are designed to be safe and cheap, like a toy for a child. Professional machines are designed to produce results. Laser epilation procedures require a minimum of 32jcm2/sec. to be effective. These new home devices are incapable of producing more than 10jcm2.
