Laser Hair Removal
Among cosmetic procedures performed in the U.S., laser hair removal is the most popular due to its effectiveness in eliminating unwanted hairs. Using highly concentrated light, this non–invasive treatment eliminates hair follicles almost anywhere on the face or body. There are a number of benefits to laser hair removal if you're seeking to reduce unwanted hair permanently such as reduced ingrown hairs and razor bumps.
Laser hair removal stops hair growth by targeting the hair follicle and thus preventing further growth. There are 3 hair growth cycles and since we can not predict at which stage each follicle is in, on average 4-6 sessions are generally needed and darker skin types or lighter hair may require more. Unfortunately as of yet, technology has not been able to treat silver, blonde or red hair due to its lack of pigmentation at the hair bulb.
Temporary side effects may occur after laser hair removal treatment. Depending on the treatment area, occasionally, you may experience a mild sun burn like sensation during and after treatment. After a procedure, discomfort is rare. Within 24 hours, any redness and minor swelling should subside.
Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided upon completion of treatment. In general, there is no pain or downtime. If the treated area is going to be exposed to the sun, you should protect it with sunblock and soothing moisturizer after laser hair removal. The appropriate products will be recommended for you.
