If you’re fed up with waxing or shaving unwanted body hairs, laser hair removal is the best thing to consider. It is one of the best hair removal techniques, and a large number of men and women get laser hair removal every year due to its pain-free nature and high success rate. 

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is an advanced hair removal technique that focuses on destroying the hair bulb by using a beam of laser radiation. It is non-invasive radiation and does not make any cuts or incisions on the skin. People get this treatment to remove unwanted hair from different body parts such as arms& underarms, legs, bikini lines, back, etc. 

Types of Laser Hair Removal-

With modern advancements in medical technology, several types of laser hair removal techniques have emerged. But the three main types are-

Diode laser hair removal:

Diode laser hair removal is a commonly used and effective hair removal technique for people with both light and dark skin tones.

Alexandrite laser hair removal:

Alexandrite laser hair removal is considered the best for fair skin tones as the heat generated by the laser beam passes through the alexandrite crystal to the skin. It reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in patients with dark skin tones. 

Nd:YAG laser hair removal:

This laser hair removal method creates lower heat than other laser methods. It is well-suited for patients with darker skin tones and long hair.Since this method involves light heat, you may require multiple rounds of laser hair removal to get desired results.

Does laser remove hair permanently?

Laser treatments aim at reducing the growth of unwanted body hairs for several months. The hair may regrow on the treated area after a couple of months, but the regrown hair is thinner and lighter in color. Repeated laser hair removal sessions over a couple of months can help remove hair permanently.

How many sessions of laser do I need to remove hair permanently?

The number of sessions required to get desired results varies for each patient depending upon the density of hairs, area to be treated, and hair growth factors. Generally, people require two to six sessions of laser hair removal over a couple of months to get the desired results.  

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal is an advanced technique that focuses on removing hair using a high beam of laser light to destroy the hair roots with high pigmentation. However, target hairs should be in the anagen or growth stage to determine the high success of the procedure. If the hair follicles are at different stages at different times, patients may need multiple laser treatment sessions.

Laser hair removal: step-by-step

Laser hair removal is a quick but multi-step procedure. First of all, a medical staff member at the clinic will shave and clean the area that needs treatment. During the procedure, everyone in the operating room will be made to wear protective eyeglasses to protect the eyes from laser damage. If your skin is super-sensitive, a numbing gel or medicine may be applied to reduce irritation and discomfort. Once the numbing gel is absorbed in the skin, your therapist will put a beam of high-energy light on the desired area using a laser probe. The level travels through the layers of your skin and works through selective photothermolysis. In this process, heat from the laser light works to destroy the hair follicles with a high concentration of pigment. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the area to be treated. The bigger the area, the longer it will take to get complete. Smaller areas such as the bikini line can take a couple of minutes, while bigger areas such as arms can take about an hour or more. 

Before and aftercare instructions for laser hair removal:

Prep care before your appointment– Avoid applying lotion or body spray on the area to be treated.

Aftercare instructions–

Your skin may feel red and irritated right after the procedure. It may last for a few hours, and you can either apply a cold compress or a soothing gel prescribed by your dermatologist. 

If there is any crusting on the treated area, apply an antibiotic cream to prevent infection. 

Wash the treated area with mild soap and pat dry using a soft towel. Avoid rubbing the towel on the treated area for atleast 48 hours. 

Keep the area clean and dry. Do not apply creams, lotions, or fragrance spray to the treated area.
