How Does Laser Hair Reduction Works?

The best option for your hair removal needs is with laser. A safe, secure, efficient at its minimum pain. The good news is that Laser Hair Removal Treatment can reach even the most remote areas of your body. In order to eradicate the unwanted hair, laser light rays are directed at the target area during the procedure. Melanin, a hair pigment that attracts the laser light’s focused rays, ultimately causes the undesired hair to disappear. Moreover, laser hair removal treatment not only eliminates existing hair but also prevents new hair growth. 

Treatment day

Your skin will be exposed to a handheld laser throughout the procedure. Depending on the kind of laser being used, a cooling device will be applied to the to protect your skin and lessen the risk of side effects.

While the technician is doing the procedure, the laser beam will penetrate your skin to reach the hair follicles. The hair follicles are destroyed by the intense heat of the laser beam, which hinders the growth of new hair. You might feel pain, like a warm pinprick or rubber band snap, and the cooling device will likely make you feel cold.

 

Treatment with laser hair reduction has very few side effects.

While having laser hair removal therapy, it should be remembered that there may be certain adverse effects, such as moderate inflammation and skin discolorations. You’ll be relieved to learn that these side effects are very temporary and will disappear within 7 to 10 days. You may also prevent them by taking good care of your skin for a week before and after the Laser Hair Removal procedure.

The following are advantages of laser hair removal:

  • Precision: Dark, coarse hairs can be targeted with lasers while the surrounding skin is left unharmed.
  • Speed: A number of hairs can be treated simultaneously with each laser pulse, which lasts just a fraction of a second. Every second, the laser can treat an area roughly the size of a quarter. Large areas, like the back or legs, could take up to an hour to treat, while small parts, like the upper lip, can be treated in less than a minute.

Laser Hair Reduction Treatment Areas

The effectiveness of laser hair reduction is influenced by skin type and hair color. The fundamental idea is that light should be absorbed by the pigment in hair but not by the pigment in skin.

In parts of the body with more surface area, such the arms, legs, and chest, the therapy produces better benefits. The following regions are frequently treated with laser hair removal:

  • Full Face (Lips, Chin, Cheeks and In-between Eyebrows)
  • Top and interiors of ears
  • Neck (Nape, Hairline, and Base of the neck
  • Chest and Abdomen
  • Full and Half of the Back
  • Arms (Half and Full Arms Including Underarms)
  • Legs (Half and Full Legs Including Feet and Toes
  • Full Bikini and Buttocks

What to anticipate

Laser hair removal usually requires between 6 to 12 sessions. Depending on how quickly the hair grows, treatment may need to be repeated after four to six weeks. During each treatment, you will put on special glasses to protect your eyes from the laser beam. If necessary, an assistant will shave the area. The technician may numb your skin with a local anaesthetic to relieve discomfort during treatment. However, it is not always advisable to put numbing cream so that it would be easier for the technician to assess the response of your body to the treatment.

Following Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Although laser hair removal is a relatively simple procedure, the aftercare is not particularly demanding either. Below are some of the recommended aftercare measures:

  • Apply sunscreen to protect your skin from direct sunlight. This can be a beneficial strategy to reduce the severity of adverse effects.
  • Avoid pricking or manipulating blisters, as this could lead to infection.
  • You are likely to experience pain, swelling and bruising, although the use of ice packs can help relieve these side effects.
  • A good night’s rest can give your skin the time it needs to recover.
  • You should stay away from bacteria, dirt, and sweat, as these can transmit infections.

Following the procedure

After laser hair removal, you might experience redness and swelling during the first few hours.

Apply ice to the affected region to ease any pain. The medical professional may apply a steroid cream to the afflicted area if you experience an instant skin reaction after laser hair removal.

Avoid sunlight and tanning beds for six weeks after laser hair removal and in between appointments, or as prescribed by your technician. Every day, use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen.

Result

Your hair will gradually fall out over the course of a few days to weeks. It may appear that the hair is still growing. Because hair growth and loss occur in a natural cycle, several treatments are usually required. Laser treatment is most effective when performed on hair follicles that are just beginning to grow.

Results vary widely and are unpredictable. For most people, hair reduction lasts for several months and perhaps even years. However, permanent hair removal is not certain with laser hair removal. Hair usually grows back finer and lighter.
