Laser Hair Removal: The Answer You’ve Been Looking For
Thanks to advancements in technology, we are now able to use lasers to effectively remove unwanted hair from the face and body in a safe and secure manner.
What Happens During a Laser Hair-Removal Treatment?
Prior to the treatment, the target areas will be cleansed, and a numbing gel will be applied to numb the areas that have been targeted; this will help make the treatment more comfortable.
Typically, it takes 30 to 60 minutes for the effects of the numbing gel to be felt. The laser emits a beam of light that targets the pigment in the hair. The hair follicles are damaged by the heat of the laser, which prevents the growth of new hairs.
Laser hair removal can be described as feeling like a rubber band has been snapped against the skin or as warm pinpricks. After the treatment, there might be some temporary redness but no downtime, and you can return to your daily routine immediately.
The Results of Laser Hair Removal
For best results, you will require more than one session on the area being treated. Hair grows in cycles, and not every hair follicle is in the active growth phase at the same time. The laser targets hair follicles in active growth, which is why more than one session (about three to four weeks apart) is required for best results.
Which Areas Can Be Targeted Using Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal can be used on almost any area of the body, but it works only on dark hair that has pigment – the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair. It can be used on the back, legs, arms, and face. It works especially effectively on the upper lip, bikini, underarms, and chin areas.
