What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is used to reduce unwanted hair. Common treatment locations include legs, armpits, upper lip, chin and the bikini line. However, it’s possible to treat unwanted hair in nearly any area, except the eyelid or surrounding area. Skin with tattoos should not be treated either. If you’re interested in laser hair removal, choose a doctor who is qualified in a specialty such as cosmetic doctor, dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon and has experience with laser hair removal on your skin type. Laser hair removal usually requires two to six treatments.

Key Laser Hair Removal  Benefits

There are many benefits of our laser hair removal treatment. These include some of the following below

  • Helps to Avoid Ingrown Hairs – the laser removes hair from the roots and in the process prevents ingrown hairs from developing.

  • Leaves Your Skin Feeling Silky Smooth – no stray hair or stubble left behind, and the hair likely grows back softer. You can also shave between sessions.

  • Lasting Results – after the recommended amount of sessions are complete, most patients get to enjoy silky-smooth skin that lasts for anywhere between three and five years.

  • Treatment Doesn’t Take Long – Depending on the area being treated, the process takes between 15min and one hour.

  • You’ll Save Time and Money – laser hair removal treatments are affordable. You will no longer have to invest money and time into shaving and shaving supplies and expensive, painful waxing appointments.

Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be cleansed. Some patients receive a numbing gel. Numbing the area to be treated helps when a small area will be treated and the skin is very sensitive. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes for a numbing gel to work.

The laser treatment will take place in a room set up specifically for laser treatments. Everyone in the room must wear protective eyewear during the procedure. To perform the procedure, the skin is held taut and the skin is treated with the laser. Many patients say that the laser pulses feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band being snapped against the skin.

A laser removes hair by vaporizing it. This causes small plumes of smoke that have a sulfur-like smell.

How long your treatment lasts depends on the size of the area being treated. Treating the upper lip takes minutes. If you are having a large area like the back or legs treated, your treatment may last more than an hour.

To avoid possible side effects, all patients need to protect their skin from the sun. After laser hair removal, you should:

  • Avoid direct sunlight from hitting your treated skin.
  • Not use a tanning bed, sun lamp, or any other indoor tanning equipment.
  • Follow your dermatologist’s after-care instructions.

You will see some redness and swelling after treatment. This often looks like a mild sunburn. Applying a cool compress can help reduce your discomfort.

No, laser hair removal generally does not require any real downtime. Immediately after having laser hair removal, your treated skin will be red and swollen. Despite this, most people return to their everyday activities.

You will likely see the results immediately after treatment. The results vary from patient to patient. The colour and thickness of your hair, area treated, type of laser used, and color of your skin all affect the results. You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment.

To remove the hair, most patients need 2 to 6 laser treatments. After finishing the treatments, most patients do not see any hair on the treated skin for several months or even years. When the hair regrows, there tends to be less of it. The hairs also tend to be finer and lighter in colour.

Most patients remain hair free for months or even years. When some of the hair regrows, it will likely be less noticeable. To keep the area free of hair, a patient may need maintenance laser treatments.
