FAQ's
The laser hair removal process removes unwanted hair with a concentrated beam of light (laser). During the process, the laser emits light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. As the light energy is converted into heat, damaging the skin’s s-shaped sacs (hair follicles), it delays future hair growth.
Laser hair removal is recommended for someone looking to get rid of unwanted hair on their face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini lines, and other areas. While laser hair removal delays hair growth for a long time, it does not usually result in permanent hair reduction. Multiple treatments are typically required for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might also be needed. It is most effective for those with light skin and dark hair, but technological advancements have also made it possible for those with darker skin to see improvements.
It is possible to see a reduction in hair growth after the first treatment, but it takes several treatments to achieve significant results. Typically, patients see noticeable results after three to seven sessions. The number of sessions required depends on the treatment area and hair growth cycle.
Depending on the individual, laser hair removal can last up to years. After completing the initial treatments, some patients may need a maintenance session once or twice a year to keep the area free of hair.
During laser hair removal, you will be provided with protective eye gear to shield your eyes from the laser. An anesthetic is applied topically to minimize discomfort. The procedure itself involves a hand-held laser instrument being pressed to your skin. A cooling device or cool gel might be used depending on the type of laser used to protect your skin from side effects.
There is little or no downtime associated with laser hair removal. Most people immediately resume their normal activities after treatment. However, the treated area may appear red and swollen for the first few hours.
Before: Before the procedure, you should refrain from exposure to the sun, plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks, as these can affect the hair follicle.
After: Post-treatment, avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect the treated area is essential. There may also be specific skin care products recommended by your provider to enhance healing.
