Unwanted Hair removal

Laser treatment for unwanted hair

Laser hair removal treatment is quick, easy and safe. It is a non-invasive procedure. Laser treatment does not completely remove the unwanted hair but it only reduces the number of unwanted hairs in a given area i.e. it doesn’t get rid of unwanted hairs completely.

 Amid treatment, a light-based system discharges splendid flashes of light into the skin where the unwanted hair resides. The hair follicle absorbs the light energy, heat up, and gets damaged. Each pulse of light energy takes only seconds and treats multiple hairs.  Since hair grows in various stages, multiple treatments are required to target the hair follicles amid their development stage.

The actual treatment time would rely upon the area that has to be treated. Every hair follicle is destroyed in a millisecond, and hence the time taken to remove the unwanted hair in the armpits would take less than five minutes, and the time to treat the larger area like legs would take around thirty minutes. Overall, the laser hair removal treatment is a relatively quick process. 

Generally unwanted hair is removed in areas like upper lip, hands, feet, bikini area, or back, legs, and arms. The areas where you must avoid laser treatment are: around the eyes-eyebrows, upper cheeks, temples, ear lobes, etc

Results will become more noticeable and impressive with each additional treatment. Most patients need at least 4 to 6 treatments to see permanent and long-lasting results.  For the best results, you’ll likely need occasional maintenance sessions/ touch up sessions and this would ensure that the hair follicles don’t regenerate.

 Laser hair removal treatment if done by an untrained technician, could leave burns or scars on the skin. So it’s always better to choose a good clinic before going for the treatment.
