Hair removal is a common practice for many people both men, and women. Apart from cosmetic purposes, hair removal is believed to raise body hygiene standards. If you are not content with shaving, tweezing or waxing as hair removal methods, laser hair removal may be another option worth exploring. Below we will look at exactly how hair removal lasers work.
Unlike other methods that use plucking and trimming, hair removal lasers utilize technology. The treatment beams highly concentrated light on the skin which is then absorbed by the hair follicles. The light energy is then transformed to heat that destroys the hair follicles. With the hair follicles destroyed there is the delay in growth of hair in the future. Although laser hair removal inhibits hair growth for long periods, hair will eventually grow back.
Treatment Sites
Do you have hair that is unwanted entirely but it keeps growing, so you have to shave week in and week out? Laser hair technique removal will do the job for you. Common locations that could work well with laser hair removal are the legs, chin, armpits, upper lip, back, chest, and the bikini line.
Hair removal lasers have been proven to be a fast option with each pulse of the beam emitted taking less than seconds to obliterate hair.
The laser hair removal method is a complex procedure that requires only certified medical professions to handle the process. Due to its nature of complexity, the doctor will conduct an examination on you like any other treatment and also review your medical history to see if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
What to Expect
Unlike patients’ expectations, hair will not fall out immediately after the procedure. However, you will see them shed after a few days depending on the color of your hair. In the course on time, you may notice some new hair growth, which is why you will be advised on recurring treatments to help the treatment work on the hair follicles in the new growth stage. When the hair grows back, it usually appears lighter in color and size.
What About Home Lasers?
Home lasers have been released into the market recently for home use purposes. They work similarly to the medicated hair removal lasers although the concentration of the light is significantly reduced to prevent any injuries, such as eye injuries. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s manual to derive the guidelines on how to use the laser technology. It should be noted that the home lasers are categorized as cosmetic and will probably not have the same effects as the medical lasers.
