Laser Hair Reduction
Overview:
Laser hair removal stands as the prevailing cosmetic procedure globally, utilizing highly concentrated light waves directed into hair follicles. The absorption of light by pigment in hair follicles leads to hair destruction, inhibiting or delaying future growth. Repeated laser sessions further contribute to the eradication of hair. Laser hair removal is a compelling choice for those seeking an alternative to traditional methods such as shaving, waxing, or tweezing.
Benefits of laser hair removal treatments:
This procedure is employed to reduce unwanted hair in various areas, including the full face, upper lip, chin, neck, shoulders, underarms, regular bikini line, legs, arms, back, chest, abdomen, or the entire body.
Possible side effects of laser hair removal:
Common side effects, such as discomfort, swelling, and redness, typically subside within 2-3 days. Our dermatologists mitigate these effects through direct supervision and the use of high-precision US FDA-approved diode lasers. Adhering to both pre- and post-treatment instructions significantly reduces the occurrence of side effects. While salons now offer hair removal services, caution is advised due to potential complications arising from the lack of experienced dermatologists.
How to prepare for Laser hair removal:
Upon scheduling an appointment with our dermatologist, patients undergo a thorough medical history review. Discussions regarding the required sessions, patient expectations, and potential outcomes take place. Pre-treatment instructions include avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, waxing, chemical peels, or collagen injections for two weeks. Patients are also advised against using perfumes, deodorants, or potential irritants in the treatment area. Additionally, abstaining from aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements is recommended. Trimming or shaving the treatment area may be advised by the doctor.
What happens during laser hair removal:
On the day of the appointment, patients wear special goggles for eye protection. If necessary, therapists may perform shaving, and a topical anesthetic gel is applied. The dermatologist then uses a handheld laser instrument on the skin, with treatment times varying based on the area being addressed. Sensations of a warm pinprick may be felt briefly.
Precautions after laser treatment:
Redness or swelling may occur immediately after treatment, and applying ice can alleviate discomfort. Post-treatment, avoiding sunlight and daily use of SPF30 sunscreen are recommended.
How many sessions are required for laser hair removal:
Immediate results are often seen after treatment, with 25% hair reduction expected. Achieving permanent hair removal may require 2-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be needed if hair regrows, though it is typically finer and lighter.
Are laser hair removal treatments safe?
Inexperienced administration can lead to burns, changes in skin color, and scarring. Selecting an experienced dermatologist skilled in laser use minimizes risks.
Are laser hair removal treatments permanent?
Most patients remain hair-free for years, though maintenance sessions may be required. The permanence varies based on factors such as skin color and hair type.
Laser hair removal for men:
Increasingly, men seek laser hair removal to avoid the hassles of shaving. This method is effective for various body areas, and our dermatologists ensure safe and efficient treatment.
Cost of laser hair reduction:
Treatment costs depend on factors such as the treated area’s size, hair color, density, skin tone, session count, and clinic technology.
