What is Laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a popular and effective treatment for permanently reducing unwanted hair. By using concentrated light beams, this treatment targets hair follicles, preventing future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin smooth and untouched. It offers a convenient, safe, and non-invasive alternative to traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and plucking.



How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth. This treatment targets multiple hair follicles at once, making it an efficient method for larger treatment areas like the legs, back, and underarms.

Laser hair removal may not be suitable for individuals with:

How Should You Prepare for Laser Hair Removal?

For the best results, follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before treatment.
• Shave the area to be treated, but avoid waxing or plucking 4-6 weeks prior.
• Discontinue the use of retinoids and strong exfoliants 5-7 days before treatment.
• Avoid using self-tanning products before your session.
• Keep the skin well-moisturized and hydrated.

What Happens During a Laser Hair Removal Session?

A typical session lasts between 15-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. During the procedure:

• A cooling gel or air may be applied to the area to reduce discomfort.
• You may feel a slight stinging or snapping sensation during the treatment.
• There may be some redness or swelling immediately after, but this typically fades within a few hours.

What is the Post-Treatment Care for Laser Hair Removal?

Post-treatment care includes:

• Apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel to calm the skin.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) to protect the treated area from sun exposure.
• Avoid hot showers, saunas, or intense exercise for 24 hours after the session.
• Avoid scratching or picking at the treated area.

What Results Can You Expect from Laser Hair Removal?

• Gradual reduction in hair growth after each session
• Smooth, hair-free skin with minimal regrowth
• Significant reduction in ingrown hairs
• Long-lasting results after completing the recommended series of treatments

While you may see immediate results after the first session, most patients need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
