Laser hair removal is the procedure of hair elimination of exposure to pulses of laser light that eliminates the follicle. It became commercially available during 1995 and 1996.
Laser hair removal is widely used in medical centers and of course in beauty salons. Laser heats up the basal stem cells within the follicle which causes hair growth, the hair follicle, while not heating the rest of the skin. Light is absorbed by dark objects but reflected by light objects and water, so laser energy is often absorbed by dark material within the hair or skin. Comparing to shaving, shaving razor shaves the hair from the skin. However, it’s not considered to be the best way of hair removal as it can cause skin irritation and allergy observation including redness. After some treatments, many side effects can happen. For example, red skin, itching, as well as pain. Though in many clinics doctors try to have numbing creams at hand. It may take two or three weeks after your first treatment to see a difference, and eight to twelve sessions to get the full result.
You also have to have systematic appointments because your hair has different stages of growth, so you want to make sure each one has a chance to get removed. The AAD considers the following areas as appropriate for hair removal:
- chest
- back
- shoulders
- neck
- bikini line
- face (except for the eye area).
The session is more than just removing unwanted hair. It is a medical operation that needs special well-developed skills to perform. You should also elude sun exposure for a couple of weeks before and after the treatment. Sun exposure might create some difficulties during the procedure and eventually create an obstruction for removal. It works best especially for light skin when removing dark hair color.
Depending on types of equipment laser hair removal is considered to be a quick procedure, mostly for small areas, such as the upper lip which only takes a few minutes. Larger areas such as the chest and back might take time, maybe a couple of hours. We shall not forget about follow-up sessions. It actually varies by individual. Some clinics claim that four and six sessions are needed. Generally, after each session, you should already see a difference and fewer hairs. Depending on your individual needs, you may need a regular session once or twice a year after your full initial round of laser therapy.
Laser hair removal is more than just a hair elimination process. It is a medical procedure during which special trainings are required.
