Laser Hair Reduction

Laser hair reduction gets you rid of shaving and waxing unwanted hair from the face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini line, and other areas of the body. It is a very new and latest technique that is very popular for cosmetic treatments.

Techniques involved in Laser

In the laser hair removal process, a highly concentrated beam of light radiance into hair follicles. A laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Precision

Selective photo thermolysis-use of specific absorption of laser energy by target chromophore in the skin is the main principle behind laser treatment. Lasers can particularly target coarse and dark hair safely without producing any damage to the surrounding areas of the skin. The laser technique does not harm the skin but makes it glowing and flawless.

Speed

It takes a fraction of a second and the laser can treat several hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area more or less the size of a quarter in an instant. The areas like the upper lip take less than a minute and large areas like the back or legs may take up to half an hour or an hour, depending upon the size of the area.

Predictability

Lasers are effective in the Anagen stage (growing phase )only which is one of the 3 stages of the hair cycle. Because of the cyclical growth of hair follicles & few percent of the total number of hair follicles may be at the anagen stage, a patient requires multiple sitting ranging from 4-10 months & then maintain 6 months or once a year. Every treatment of laser destroy the hair follicles permanently so after few visits active hair follicle may be reduced by 70- 90%.

Side Effects After The Treatment

• Skin irritation.
• Temporary Discomfort.
• Redness and Swelling.
• Any signs and symptoms typically disappear within several hours.
• Laser hair removal might darken or lighten the affected skin. These changes might be temporary or permanent. Skin lightening primarily affects those who don't avoid sun exposure before or after treatment and those who have darker skin.

Not Recommended

Laser hair removal isn't recommended for eyelids, eyebrows, or surrounding areas, due to the possibility of severe eye injury.

Post Surgery Precautions

• Avoid sun exposure - If going out apply sunscreen cream generously all over the exposed area. Try to keep the area covered.

Pre Surgery Precautions

• Avoiding other hair removal methods - Plucking, waxing, and electrolysis can disturb the hair follicle and should be avoided at least four weeks before treatment.
• Shaving treatment area. Trimming and shaving are recommended before laser treatment - It removes hair above the skin which can result in surface skin damage from burnt hairs, but it leaves the hair shaft intact below the surface.

Result of Laser Treatment

Hairs do not fall out immediately but after a few days to weeks. This may look like continued hair growth. Repeated treatments are usually necessary because hair growth and a loss naturally occur in a cycle, and laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the new-growth stage. You might need maintenance laser treatments for long-term hair reduction.
