If
you are ready to commit to the laser hair removal method, here’s
what you must know about it.
What
happens during laser hair removal?
Laser
hair removal is typically performed by a licensed laser technician or
dermatologist at Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic under local
anesthesia. The process involves the use of a handheld laser device
(usually equipped with a cooling system to soothe the skin) that is
pressed on the treatment site. It produces an intense laser beam that
passes through the skin into the targeted hair follicles generating
intense heat along its path. This thermal energy gets absorbed by the
melanin of the hair, destroys the hair follicles, and stops or delays
future hair growth.
Ideal
candidates:
Anybody having excess or unsightly dark and thick body or facial hair in contrast to their skin complexion (i.e. lighter skin color).
People with reasonable expectations from the treatment.
Healthy individuals who don’t want monthly hassles of waxing, shaving, or plucking of their undesirable hair and desire for long-term silky, smooth, hair-free skin on some of their body parts.
Laser hair removal may not work for everyone which is why you must not blindly opt for it. The best way to determine your suitability to undergo laser hair removal is to consult a certified dermatologist.
Benefits
of laser hair removal:
Laser
hair reduction in Bangalore
at Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic is in great demand among the
general public because of the following proven benefits:
It’s a quick solution. Laser hair removal sessions last for a few minutes to a few hours depending upon the area being treated. The laser can act on multiple hair follicles at a time and can treat large areas in less time but there will be a need for multiple sessions (usually 6-8) to get the desired results.
It’s incredibly precise. Laser hair removal targets and removes only specific hair. Hence, it is a great option to get rid of undesirable hair from small areas like the hairline, upper lips, sides of the face, and bikini line.
It’s less painful. Unlike painful waxing or any other discomforting traditional hair removal methods, laser hair removal is relatively less painful. Many patients report feeling tolerable pain just like a warm pin-prick sensation or a rubber band snapped against the skin.
No more ingrown hairs, stubbles, or razor burns. Traditional hair removal methods like shaving/tweezing can irritate the skin and leave behind razor burns. Shaving, waxing, or other hair removal methods can cause ingrown hair (growth of hair back into the skin instead of rising). Laser hair removal is the best option for people who are prone to pesky ingrown hair as it destroys the hair by its roots.
It’s a long-lasting treatment. Many patients enjoy permanent results while others may have significant hair reduction and may need touch-up sessions after a few months or years afterward. Furthermore, there are no chances of enduring a bit of hair regrowth in between the sessions, hence patients can enjoy hair-free skin at all times.
It’s safe to work on all skin tones. Laser hair removal is an FDA-cleared method involving the use of only medical-grade lasers that do not harm the skin surface. However, it is most effective for people with lighter skin and dark hair.
Post-treatment
instructions:
Apply an ice pack or cold compression on the treated area to combat post-treatment swelling.
Shield the treated skin from the harmful sun or UV rays by not going out in sun for about a month and also avoid the use of tanning beds or creams.
Use steroid creams, lotions, or any other medications as directed by the dermatologist.
Avoid scheduling another skin treatment before 4 to 6 weeks of the treatment.
Do not pick or tug the skin by doing waxing or tweezing in between laser sessions.
Do not exfoliate the skin with scrubs or chemical peels for about a week.
Avoid usage of scented products for a week.
Do not take hot water baths or showers or use saunas at least for 48 hours.
Don’t go swimming in chlorinated water pools for at least a week.
