Laser hair removal works to avoid the growth of new hair by heating hair follicles. This places the hair follicles in a dormant state for a long time, much longer than waxing or shaving. The hair is thinner, smoother and fewer as it grows back.
Although the operation is sometimes referred to as "permanent removal of hair, laser treatment only decreases the amount of hairs that are not required in a particular region. It does not completely remove unnecessary hair.
The hair removal choice works better for people with lighter skin colors and darker hair according to experts. The American Association of Dermatology (AAD) also recommends for improved outcomes that the treatment be done by a board-certified dermatologist.
How does the Process work.?
As a mild type of radiation, laser therapy utilizes high heat laser beams. These laser beams heat and hurt your hair follicles during this process.
Your hair follicles are under the skin. New hair strands are produced by them. The production of hair is temporarily removed when the follicles are damaged.
In comparison, all hairs extract above the surface by pulling, shaving and waxing. These approaches are not aimed at follicles that grow hair.
As necessary for laser hair removal, the AAD assesses the following areas:
-
Stomach
-
Chest
-
Back
-
The waist
-
Neck
-
Bikini line
-
Face (except for the eye area)
This form of hair removal works better on light skin tones with darker hair colors. The lasers target melanin in the hair (color). The lightning of their color can also reduce the appearance of the hair on the skin even if certain hairs are not removed.
A few days from your first injection, some of your hair will also shed.
Overall, removal of laser hair is relatively easy. Smaller areas can take minutes, for example the upper lip. Larger areas of hair removal can take an hour or more, such as the back or chest.
You can expect to be at your office for up to one fuller hour if your dermatologist uses a topical pain reliever cream (anesthetic) first.
Although the laser hair loss rate is high, hair follicles can recover at long last. This contributes to the development of new hair. You would need to have numerous therapy sessions to ensure the best possible outcomes.
While laser hair removal is not exactly permanent, it is still one of the best ways to slow hair growth for a long time. Electrolysis and needle epilators are also choices for long-term hair removal you might explore with a dermatologist.
There are several at-home hair removal options if you do not want to pay for medical treatments which are not permanent in any way.
Discuss with your dermatologist:
-
Epilators for tweezers
-
Sugaring or waxing
-
Filling
-
Correct methods for shaving
