Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a laser, or a concentrated beam of light, to get rid of hair in different areas of the body.

If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.

Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. This destroys the hair.

Because of that damage, the hair will stop growing. This is done over four to six sessions.

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the Face, Leg, Chin, Back, Arm, Underarm, Bikini Line, and other areas ( full body). However, you can't get laser done on your eyelids or the surrounding areas or anywhere that has been tattooed.

Benefits of laser hair removal include

01.

Precision : Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

02.

Speed: Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the Back or Legs, may take up to an hour.

Temporary discomfort is possible, with some redness and swelling after the procedure. People compare laser hair removal to a warm pinprick and say it's less painful than other hair removal methods like waxing or threading.

After laser hair removal

The technician may give you ice packs, anti-inflammatory creams or lotions, or cold water to ease any discomfort. You'll need to wait 4-6 weeks for the next appointment. You'll get treatments until hair stops growing.

Laser hair removal aftercare

  • The treated area will look and feel sunburned for 1-2 days if skin is very sensitive.
  • Cool compresses and moisturizers may help.
  • If your face was treated, you can wear makeup the next day unless your skin is blistered.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, sun lamps, or any kind of indoor tanning equipment.
  • Over the next month, the treated hair will fall out. Wear sunscreen for the following month to help prevent temporary changes in the color of the treated skin.
