Laser hair removal is an efficient and safe method to eliminate unwanted hair. Unlike electrolysis, the laser heats up the root of each individual follicle, killing off its presence for good and preventing future growth. Plus, laser removal takes far less time!
However, it is essential to remember that professional laser hair removal requires regular appointments – typically once every six weeks.
Aesthetics
Bare UK Review Laser Hair Removal Treatment Oxford is a top-rated clinic, using medical grade machines for aesthetic services including wart removal, cherry angiomas removal and thread veins. Their treatments take place in their salon at Tao Salon OX1 1BT; unlike old style electrolysis (long pulses of high powered light that damage skin surface) today’s sophisticated machines use shorter pulses that directly destroy hair growth tissue beneath.
Treatments
Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular solution to unwanted body hair, working by transmitting pulses of light into the skin to damage and destroy hair growth tissue, thus stopping its follicle from producing further hair growth. The process itself is fast, pain-free, long-lasting (up to two years or more), safe for most individuals, and offers an alternative to more traditional methods of removal such as shaving, waxing or electric trimmers.
Selecting the ideal laser treatment option for your skin and hair tone is vital in order to obtain optimal results. At an initial consultation, a certified consultant will assess both aspects of your appearance to ascertain if you qualify for this procedure. They’ll conduct a patch test to test skin sensitivity as well as apply any needed numbing cream or topical anesthetics if necessary.
At any reputable clinic, an experienced technician trained in laser treatments will make sure you feel at ease during each session and will provide a safety briefing before starting treatment. They’ll discuss your goals and answer any questions about the process.
Before initiating a laser hair removal treatment, it is recommended to shave the area to prevent thermal damage to the surface of your skin and ensure its energy targets directly at hair follicles. Furthermore, it must be noted that laser hair removal cannot work on dark skin tones as the contrast between darker hair color and lighter skin tone causes light absorption rather than targeting hair follicles directly.
However, many women using at-home devices such as Philips Lumea report successful results from using at-home devices; it’s essential to remember that more sessions and touch ups may be required compared with visiting specialist clinics due to at-home devices’ inferior power compared with professional services.
Pricing
Laser hair removal may seem pricey at first, but the investment pays dividends in the form of pain-free removal of unwanted hair without itching, redness or razor burns resulting from other methods.
Dr. Dustin Portela of Dermatology Northwest says the best laser hair removal devices can effectively target dark hair follicles by heating up melanin in your skin, heating up melanin levels to target dark follicles effectively and targeting them efficiently. For best results it’s important to see someone experienced working with skin of color; otherwise there is an increased risk of burning your skin due to incorrect settings or having darker skin tones he explains to InStyle.
Consider also the intensity of the laser device you are considering. Our testers found that most IPL hair removal handhelds, like the Ulike Sapphire AIR+ Dark Green IPL Hair Removal Handset, became uncomfortable at their highest settings; however, some brands such as NOOD The Flasher 2.0 and JOVS Venus Pro II Hair Remover provide more versatility with their range of intensity levels.
Avoid direct sunlight after undergoing laser treatment to the area in question. Your skin is more vulnerable after having been repeatedly targeted with laser beams, making it more prone to sun damage.
