    In this episode, Lisa and Mike delve into the complexities of language as it pertains to the field of laser hair removal and skin treatments. They discuss the term "paradoxical hypertrichosis," exploring its definitions and the potential for misinterpretation within the industry. They highlight the importance of precise language when discussing hair growth, treatment effects, and the various parameters involved in laser technology. They also touch on the significance of understanding skin tone versus skin type, emphasising how clarity in terminology can enhance communication and improve treatment outcomes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Clear and precise language is crucial in discussions about hair growth and laser treatments to avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations. The term "paradoxical hypertrichosis" is often misused. It should refer to hair growth in areas that have not been treated with laser, while many are confusing it with stimulated or synchronised hair growth in treated areas. Treatments like laser hair removal can lead to synchronised hair growth, where previously dormant follicles may start to grow at the same time due to the treatment, rather than indicating paradoxical hypertrichosis. Terms like "strength" or "stronger laser" are vague and can lead to confusion. It's essential to specify parameters such as fluence, energy density, and power when discussing laser treatments. The distinction between skin tone and skin type is important. Skin tone refers to the concentration of melanin in the skin, which affects how it reacts to treatments, while skin type (Fitzpatrick classification) is related to UV radiation response and is not relevant in the context of laser treatments. BEST MOMENTS "Paradoxical hypertrichosis... basically it's hair growth in an area where you didn't have hair growing before." "I believe that everybody that is saying they see this, they are definitely seeing something, but I don't know if they're all meaning the same thing." "You cannot stimulate new follicles, but you can stimulate them into a different phase of growth." "Skin type is your Fitzpatrick, which is how your skin reacts to ultraviolet radiation." "Using the wrong language is just a, to me, it's bad language." ABOUT THE HOSTS Mike began his career in medical lasers in 1986 with a physics degree and a post-grad in bioengineering. He helped develop the scar-free removal of tattoos using a Q-Switched Ruby Laser in Glasgow, and the world's first IPL system. Known well in the industry for his hard truths, no BS attitude and logical answers. As the author of three books, articles for medical journals, a well read blog, a Laser Protection Advisor and contributor to the BMLA, Mike is the Laser Guru. Lisa's claim to laser fame is being Mike's daughter. Growing up with lasers and never avoiding a physics lesson from her Dad, it was natural to enter the industry. Leaving a corporate career with a baby to jump into self employed life came with challenges. Despite that Lisa has been well recognised for her teaching style, practical tips, bringing the compassion to the science, and laser mentoring.

  • What's Important About Continuous Training?

    What's Important About Continuous Training?
    2025/07/10
    In this episode, Lisa and Mike discuss the critical topic of continuous training in the laser and aesthetic industry. They take a look at some alarming stories of clinics potentially providing inadequate training to technicians, leading to poor treatment outcomes for clients, particularly in laser hair removal. They highlight the importance of reputable training and the need for practitioners to understand the science behind their work, and also touch on various qualifications, including VTCT and ITEC, and emphasize the significance of ongoing professional development to ensure safety and efficacy in treatments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Continuous training is crucial in the laser and skin treatment industry to ensure technicians are knowledgeable and skilled in using equipment effectively, which directly impacts client results. There are significant concerns regarding the quality of training provided at some clinics, leading to poor treatment outcomes for clients, such as excessive sessions without satisfactory results. If technicians are not achieving good results, the responsibility lies with the management and owners of the clinics, who must ensure their staff are properly trained and equipped to provide effective services. Misinformation can easily spread within the industry, often from trainers who may not have the correct knowledge, which can lead to practitioners applying incorrect techniques or advice. When selecting a training provider, it is essential to research their credentials, ask about their training sources, and ensure they have a solid reputation to avoid investing in inadequate training that may not meet future regulatory standards. BEST MOMENTS "So yeah, allegedly, what always came out that people believe is what's happening is that technicians in these companies are being either told to do this or just not taught properly." "If they're not generating good results, then that's the responsibility of the managers and ultimately the owners of the clinic because they're supposed to provide a service." "It's making people think laser hair removal doesn't work. It's actually giving everybody quite a bad name, which isn't ideal for us." "You can have the best laser on the planet and if you're not using it correctly, you won't get good results. Simple as that." "This is just kind of coming into highlighting the importance of training and getting reputable training."

    In this episode, Mike and Lisa return to their Explain Like I'm 5 series to explore the origins of lasers. Starting from Einstein's concept of stimulated emission in 1917 to the creation of the first laser by Theodore Maiman in 1960, Mike and Lisa break down complex concepts such as monochromaticity, coherence, and non-divergence, making them accessible to listeners of all ages. They discuss the mechanics of how lasers work, including the roles of gain mediums, mirrors, and the process of stimulated emission. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lasers operate based on the principle of stimulated emission of photons, a concept introduced by Einstein in 1917. The acronym LASER stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." A typical laser consists of a gain medium (which can be a crystal, gas, or liquid), two mirrors (one fully reflective and one partially reflective), and a power source to stimulate the gain medium. The mirrors help amplify the light by reflecting photons back and forth. For a laser to function effectively, a population inversion must be achieved, where more atoms are in an excited state than in a ground state. This is necessary to ensure that stimulated emission can dominate over spontaneous emission. Different types of lasers exist, including solid-state lasers (like Nd:YAG and ruby lasers), gas lasers (like CO2 lasers), and diode lasers. Each type has unique properties and applications, with diode lasers being particularly versatile due to their ability to generate various wavelengths by combining different semiconductor materials. BEST MOMENTS "LASER means, LASER is an acronym, stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In this case, radiation being light energy." "So wait, why did he invent it? Because he could." "So coherence basically means that all the photons, they're all doing the same thing, they've all got the same wavelength or frequency, they're all moving in the same directions." "If you don't have enough electrons in the right metastable state, then the whole thing will eventually just kind of peter out." "The problem is that some of these drops in energy states will not generate new photons, but they'll generate phonons."
