Are There Any Side Effects?
There can be some side effects associated with laser hair removal, though most are mild and temporary. Swelling, redness, and itching are often experienced but usually subside within several days. More serious adverse reactions such as blisters, scabs, scars or changes to skin color are very rare – to reduce their risks clients should try avoiding direct sunlight prior to and following laser sessions while shaving, waxing or plucking their treatment areas prior to sessions.
Laser hair removal employs a light beam to target melanin in hair follicles and attract the laser’s heat, thus destroying and preventing future hair growth. Virtually any area of the body can be treated, except the eyelids and their immediate surrounding. Candidates for laser hair removal typically possessing lighter skin tones with darker hair; however, anyone can benefit from this non-invasive cosmetic procedure.
Once treatment has concluded, patients should comply with their doctor’s advice in terms of avoiding direct sunlight and applying a sunscreen with at least an SPF30 sun protection factor. A topical anesthetic may also be recommended in order to reduce pain and discomfort.
Laser hair removal does not guarantee permanent hair loss, and you may require annual touch-up treatments in order to keep the results. In addition, pregnant women should avoid laser treatment due to radiation from its light source affecting their growing fetus.
Laser hair removal may help reduce excess facial and body hair, but isn’t ideal for removing tattoos or birthmarks. Furthermore, it should not be attempted if there is a history of photodermatosis or another skin condition – for more advice before making this decision it would be beneficial to speak to a dermatologist first.
