Laser hair removal is the most effective and safe way to get rid of unwanted hair. As the name suggests, a specially designed laser is used to remove unwanted hair by damaging follicles and disabling them from producing more hair.
We do Laser Hair Removal – The process; We apply a laser light to the area of unwanted hair. The pulses of light emitted by the laser attack the hair and the follicle, destroying the hair at the root and preventing it from growing back.
Hair grows in three different phases, and for the laser to effectively destroy the root, the hair needs to be in the growth phase.
It is for this reason that multiple treatments are required. In order to capture each hair in that growth phase, you will need to have several sessions spaced out roughly four weeks apart.
If it’s a quick solution you’re searching for, laser hair removal is the fastest way to get rid of unwanted hair.
You will have to have multiple treatment sessions, but most sessions only take a few minutes. The smaller the treatment area, the less time you’ll spend under the laser.
Laser hair removal is a lot less painful than most people think. Many people equate it to the feeling of snapping a rubber band against the skin.
Depending on your threshold for pain, you may find it slightly uncomfortable, but the sessions are so fast that most people find it easy to endure.
Laser technology is incredibly precise, making laser hair removal ideal for people looking to target and remove a few specific hairs.
This makes it a great option, even if you’re looking to remove small areas of hair from around the eyebrows, upper lip, nose, bikini line, or hairline.
Shaving, waxing, and other methods of hair removal can cause ingrown hairs. If you’re prone to ingrown hairs, laser hair removal is an excellent option.
By destroying the hair at the root, you’ll never have to worry about those hairs growing back in or curling back into the body and becoming ingrown.
Most people see permanent, lasting results with laser hair removal. In some cases, you may need a touch-up a few months or years down the line, but it remains one of the best long-term solutions available.
At minimum, you will see a permanent reduction in hair growth that becomes easier to maintain over time.
Because it’s a long-term solution, it’s also cost effective. Over the course of your lifetime, you can save hundreds or even thousands of pounds, as there won’t be a need for monthly waxes or razor blade refills.
Keep in mind that while laser hair removal works on all different skin tones, it is most effective on people with light skin and dark hair. People with darker skin tones may experience temporary hyperpigmentation of the skin in the treated area.
During the procedure, you will be given protective eye wear and the laser equipment settings will be adjusted for each patient. A cold gel or a cooling device may also be applied to protect outer skin areas during treatment.
During the laser treatment, pulses of light will be delivered in the area being treated and you may feel slight discomfort. This has been described as feeling like a warm pinprick or having a rubber band snapped against your skin. The first treatment tends to cause more discomfort than subsequent treatments.
The procedure itself varies in length depending on the area being treated, but can last anywhere from a few minutes up to an hour or longer. Once it’s over you may be given lotions, anti-inflammatory creams or ice packs for relief of any lingering pain.
After each sequential treatment, you will see an accumulation of results. Generally, thinning of the hair is the first step, and you can see this after one or two sessions. Once the follicles have been effectively weakened, it may take several days to weeks for the treated hair follicles to completely shed. The hairs do not fall out immediately and during this period, it can look like continued growth is occurring.
Results may depend on factors like hair thickness and density. Laser hair removal is often effective at delaying growth for months or years but doesn’t always result in permanent removal.
After the first treatment, you can expect 10% to 25% less hair than before. Most patients need 2–6 laser treatments. After finishing the treatments, most patients do not see any hair on their treated skin for several months or even years—and when it does grow back, there tends to be much less of it and its colour is lighter as well.
Most people experience hair reduction that lasts for years. When laser hair removal is done correctly, and the person’s skin type matches well with treatment settings, permanent results are possible. But sometimes regrowth occurs—hair may be finer or lighter than before but still visible to the naked eye. If you are young (teens and 20s) or go through a major hormonal change after your original treatments then it is probable that you will develop new hair follicles that produce new hair during your lifetime. This new hair growth cannot be prevented, but luckily can be treated with another round of laser hair removal.
