What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a pulsating beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. This damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth, resulting in smoother, hair-free skin. Laser hair removal can be performed on various body areas, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini area, and back. The treatment is safe and effective and is suitable for all skin types, but it may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. The laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles and heats them up, damaging the hair roots and inhibiting future hair growth. The laser’s intensity is adjusted based on the individual’s skin type and hair colour to ensure the most effective treatment.

Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleaned and shaved, and a cooling gel may be applied to protect the skin and enhance the laser’s effectiveness. During the procedure, most people experience a slight tingling or stinging sensation, but it’s usually well-tolerated.

Multiple laser hair removal sessions are typically required to achieve the desired results, as the laser is most effective when it targets hair in the active growth phase. The number of sessions required depends on the individual’s hair type and colour, skin tone, and the treatment area. On average, six to eight sessions are required for optimal results.

Laser hair removal can be performed on various body areas, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini area, and back. It is safe and effective for most skin types but is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking certain medications.

Following the aftercare instructions you will receive is crucial for optimal results and minimising the risk of side effects, such as temporary redness, swelling, or blistering.

Can everyone undergo Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is safe and effective for most skin types, but not everyone is a suitable candidate for the treatment. People with very light hair (blonde, white, grey) may not respond well to laser hair removal as the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. Similarly, individuals with very dark skin may be at risk of skin damage or discolouration from the laser, as the laser may also target the melanin in the skin.

In addition, certain medical conditions, such as skin cancer or lupus, may make laser hair removal unsuitable. It’s important to discuss any medical conditions, medications, or skin sensitivities with a laser hair removal provider before undergoing treatment.

Overall, laser hair removal is a safe and effective method for most people, but it’s essential to choose a reputable provider, follow aftercare instructions, and discuss any concerns or questions with your provider before starting the treatment.

How should I prepare for a laser hair removal treatment?2023-03-08T15:45:18+00:00

Before a laser hair removal treatment, it’s important to avoid tanning, plucking, or waxing the hair in the treatment area for at least two weeks. Shaving is allowed, as it preserves the hair follicle, which is necessary for the laser to target. It’s also important to avoid any products that may irritate the skin, such as retinol or glycolic acid.

Can I shave before a laser hair removal treatment?2023-03-08T15:52:24+00:00

Yes, it is recommended to shave the treatment area before a laser hair removal session. This is because the laser targets the hair follicle beneath the skin’s surface, and hair above the skin can interfere with the laser’s effectiveness.

Can I use lotion or other products on the treated area after a laser hair removal treatment?2023-03-08T15:52:55+00:00

It is recommended to avoid using any products on the treated area for at least 24-48 hours after a laser hair removal treatment. This includes lotions, creams, and any other skin care products. After this initial period, it is safe to resume your normal skincare routine, but you should avoid any harsh or abrasive products that could irritate the treated area.

Can I go out in the sun after a laser hair removal treatment?2023-03-08T15:53:20+00:00

It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for at least two weeks after a laser hair removal treatment. The skin may be more sensitive and susceptible to sun damage, and exposure could cause irritation or discolouration. If you need to go out in the sun, it is recommended to wear protective clothing or use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Can I exercise after a laser hair removal treatment?2023-03-08T15:53:43+00:00

It is recommended to avoid vigorous exercise for at least 24-48 hours after a laser hair removal treatment. Sweating and friction from tight clothing could irritate the treated area and increase the risk of infection. It is best to avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or rubbing until the skin has had time to heal.

How long does it take for the hair to fall out after a laser hair removal treatment?2023-03-08T15:54:52+00:00

The hair may begin to fall out within a few days to two weeks after a laser hair removal treatment. However, this can vary depending on the individual and the area being treated. Some hairs may fall out immediately, while others may take longer to shed. It is important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your provider to ensure the best possible results.
