GlossaryFluence

amount of laser energy per unit area

Fluence refers to the amount of laser energy delivered per unit area, typically measured in joules per square centimeter (J/cm²). In the context of laser hair removal, fluence is a critical parameter that determines the effectiveness of the treatment; higher fluence levels can result in more efficient hair follicle destruction, but must be carefully controlled to avoid skin damage.
