Laser Hair Removal
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a clinical procedure that offers long-term reduction of unwanted hair by targeting hair follicles with concentrated laser light. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and converted into heat, which weakens the follicle and prevents future hair growth. Unlike traditional methods, it provides more lasting results and is a widely preferred aesthetic solution.
How Is Laser Hair Removal Performed?
Before the procedure, the skin and hair type are assessed to select the most suitable laser device. The laser targets melanin in the hair shaft and directs heat to the follicle, damaging it without harming the surrounding skin. The duration of the session depends on the area being treated.
Main Types of Laser Technology
- Alexandrite Laser – Effective on light skin types
- Diode Laser – Suitable for various skin types
- Nd:YAG Laser – Preferred for darker skin tones
Areas That Can Be Treated
Laser hair removal can safely be applied to many areas in both men and women, including the face, underarms, legs, back, chest, and bikini line. The thickness and color of the hair significantly affect the number of sessions required.
Number and Frequency of Sessions
Hair follicles go through different growth phases, so multiple sessions are necessary to target all follicles effectively. On average, 6–8 sessions are recommended. Session intervals typically range from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the area. Small areas may take 5–10 minutes, while larger areas can take 30–45 minutes.
What Are the Advantages?
Laser hair removal offers long-term smoothness and reduces irritation compared to shaving or waxing. It also helps prevent ingrown hairs and reduces hair density over time. 📌
Post-Treatment Care
Mild redness or sensitivity may occur after the session but usually resolves quickly. It is advised to avoid hot showers, sun exposure, and exfoliation for the first 24 hours. Using sunscreen is highly recommended.
