Ingrown hair is the tiny lengthed hair on the skin. These ingrown hair are thickened and curly. The most common body part for growing ingrown hair is legs and arms, but some people can also experience these hair on their faces. However, most ingrown hair are harmless and disappear over time, but some are irritable and inflammatory.
Tips of these hair force them towards the skin, and curls make small size bumps of such ingrown hair. These grumpy, inflammatory bumps that resemble blackheads look like them. Therefore, people use shaving to remove these tiny hair. But these unwanted hair removal procedures are painful and often create burning, redness or more ingrown hair. In such circumstances, laser hair removal can be an appropriate and painless way to get rid of these ingrown hair and razor burns.
In this blog post, Dr. Rasya Dixit details about laser hair removal and its related aspects. The expert doctor is widely known for providing the best laser hair removal in Bangalore performed at Dr. Dixit Cosmetic & Dermatology Clinic. It is beneficial for one who wants to get the ingrown hair-free to smoothen skin.
Laser Hair Removal Treatment
In the treatment, laser beams are used for unwanted hair removal. To do so, laser technicians or skin doctors target the hair root and then the dermal layer with the help of light laser rays. These rays on the dermal layer destroy the follicles that form ingrown hair by heating and burning techniques. This way of targeted follicle destruction leads to permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal is a procedure of a few sessions, and for effective results, each session requires a few months gap between two consecutive sessions. The gaps between the sessions are determined by the treating doctor after examining the patient. However, positive results can be seen after the successful completion of the first session, and individuals can experience the least thinned unwanted hair, if any grow.
Is Laser Treatment Safe for Unwanted Hair Removal?
Laser treatment is a non-surgical procedure to treat unwanted hair removal and razor burn. In this treatment, mild laser rays are used to operate the affected area and remove ingrown hair growth. Hence, no incisions or scars occur after this treatment, and individuals can go home after the session gets over. So, it would be fair to say that laser hair reduction is a painless and safe treatment. However, Dr. Rasya Dixit, the best cosmetic dermatologist in Bangalore recommends avoiding alcohol, nicotine and unhealthy diets.
Duration of The Laser Hair Reduction Treatment
Nowadays, laser treatment is commonly used for hair-free, smooth skin. In the course of that, laser hair reduction at Dr Dixit Dermatology clinic is a 15 minutes- to 2 hours long procedure. Ideally, 6 to 8 treatments with intervals of 4 weeks to 6 weeks between two consecutive sessions are sufficient for long-term hair reduction. Based on one's skin's response, this gap can be changed by the dermatologist. Once the skin starts responding and unwanted hair growth starts reducing and the doctor increases the interval from week to month.
At What Age One Should Get Laser Hair Reduction Treatment.
Since anyone, regardless of age and sex, can experience unwanted hair growth hence individuals of any age group can take this treatment. But expert dermatologists usually prescribe that one should start laser treatments after 18 for laser hair reduction. A major reason behind this age is one's overall growth. At the age of 18, ideally, every adolescent turns into an adult, and due to the release of testosterone, individuals start having beards and hair on other body parts. This hormonal imbalance develops ingrown hair follicles. So, once an individual's body is fully developed at 18, one can become eligible for laser hair removal.
Cost of Laser Hair Removal Treatment
While looking for a dermatology clinic for laser hair reduction treatment, the cost of the treatment is a major concern. The cost of the treatment depends upon various factors. Because skin specialists examine an individual's skin and medical history thereafter, the doctor suggests the sessions based on one's unwanted hair growth and body response. As a result, varied costs of laser hair removal treatment are present in the town.
In such circumstances giving one exact cost of the treatment would be unfair with the treatment. So, visiting the Dr. Dixit's Cosmetic & Dermatology Clinic will be the most appropriate way to know the cost of laser hair reduction performed by the best skin specialist in Bangalore.
So one willing to get smooth and hair-free skin can consult Dr. Rasya Dixit at the clinic to get the treatment performed.
