Modern laser systems are virtually pain free. Older laser systems used a “shots” method which could be quite uncomfortable; however, newer systems utilize cooling systems to help alleviate discomfort and make treatment safer.
Cost
Laser Hair Removal is an economical method for permanently eliminating unwanted body hair. It works best on those with light skin and dark hair as the laser beam attracts pigment (melanin) found within them both; it may not work as effectively on tanned skin however; therefore if considering laser treatment it might be worth waiting until your tan has subsided first before starting treatment.
Your results may require multiple treatment sessions, and each can last from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and scope of the area being treated. In contrast to more traditional shot-based laser systems that cause mild to intense discomfort during treatment sessions, modern laser therapies use skin cooling systems instead, which help minimize sensation during each procedure.
Selecting a competent and experienced practitioner is crucial when seeking laser hair removal treatments. Verification that they meet the required standards in terms of training, skill and insurance should also be performed before booking an appointment. Your practitioner should provide you with details regarding their procedure while assuring you that laser hair removal suits your skin type; usually a patch test will also be administered beforehand to make sure there’s no adverse reaction.
Results
Laser hair removal works by emitting a beam of light energy that absorbs pigment (melanin) present in unwanted hair, then converted into heat that damages hair-producing cells and stops future growth of the follicle. This does not impact surrounding skin but may cause some reddening and swelling at first; results should become evident after four to six treatments; depending on your hair type additional sessions may be needed for maximum effectiveness.
The best laser hair removal systems are virtually pain free for clients, although some report experiencing a gentle warming sensation or mild pins and needles sensation. Furthermore, multiple forms of cooling to reduce pain during your procedure is also utilized by these excellent systems. It is wise to refrain from waxing, plucking or tweezing any hair in the area that you will receive laser treatments as this could hinder results and keep skin safe during treatments. It is wise to be wary when selecting who performs laser hair removal; be sure to inquire whether they have met certain standards of training and skill to ensure you receive safe treatments during your procedure.
Laser hair removal treatments may last up to one year, though maintenance treatments must take place regularly to maintain results and stop new hair from growing in treated areas. You should schedule sessions every four weeks for facial hair and every six weeks for body hair. Before having your first laser treatment, a patch test must first take place – this allows the therapist to assess your skin reaction to light exposure as well as providing you an opportunity to ask any questions that arise about the procedure itself.
Side effects
Laser Hair Removal is an innovative cosmetic procedure that utilizes light energy to effectively eradicate unwanted hair growth. Pigmented hair absorbs laser beam energy and heats it, damaging or killing off hair follicles in an effective, noninvasive, safe, and noninvasive process. Laser treatment offers great solutions for those who suffer from excess body hair or want to reduce it on their face, arms, legs, underarms or bikini line compared to traditional methods such as electrolysis or shaving.
At each treatment session, your practitioner will use a handheld device to press against your skin and activate a laser beam, similar to snapping an elastic band across your skin. The treatment usually lasts 15 to 60 minutes without pain but some clients may experience pins-and-needles sensation on their skin; often a cooling system is employed to further ensure its comfort and safety.
After laser hair removal, skin can become extremely sensitive and red; for optimal results it’s wise to limit hot showers, saunas and exercise for 24 hours post treatment. Furthermore, apply an SPF 30 sunscreen on the treated area; aloe vera gel may provide comfort if any discomfort or irritation occurs.
Laser hair removal works best when performed on people with pale skin and dark hair. Unfortunately, it won’t be effective on tanned or bleached locks and requires regular sessions in order to reduce regrowth.
Clients should expect some mild hair shedding for approximately one week following treatment, however this should not be mistaken as new growth. It is also recommended to refrain from waxing or tweezing treated areas until all their new growth has come in completely.
Should any discomfort arise during treatment, be sure to inform your provider right away. In addition, select an experienced and qualified practitioner registered on an entity that verifies training, skill, and insurance standards; avoid practitioners who have completed only short training courses.
Safety
Laser hair removal uses a focused beam of light (laser) to effectively and permanently eradicate unwanted hair growth. As your pigment absorbs the laser beam, its heat energy damages hair follicles responsible for growth preventing future hair from growing back into place.
Modern laser systems utilise cooling techniques as an important aspect of treatment comfort and safety. Traditional systems operate using a ‘shots” method exposing skin to high energy pulses followed by delays before moving the apparatus and administering another shot; even when combined with cooling technology this approach may prove painful!
Always select a clinic with fully trained and qualified practitioners on a recognised register to ensure they meet stringent training, skill, and insurance coverage standards for your cosmetic treatment. Be wary of unqualified or rushed treatments! A patch test must precede laser hair removal treatments in order to detect adverse reactions; this involves conducting a general inspection of skin surface before exposing small sections of each part of body that need treated to low level laser light, then testing any exposed skin areas against adverse reactions using low level laser light exposure to ensure no allergic reactions occur.
