The Laser Hair Removal Process
Aimee Smyth
Laser Hair Removal is becoming more popular then ever for the
removal of unwanted body hair. Before making the decision to go
forward with laser hair removal it is important to understand the
removal process and to determine if you would make an ideal
candidate for laser hair removal.
Below we are going to talk about some of the most common
questions asked before making a decision to get laser hair
removal done.
Is it safe?
Yes, the removal process is safe. Some patients may notice
pinkness or redness to the skin on the treated area. Most
commonly the color will go back to normal in a few minutes up to
a few hours. In a few rare cases it may take a few days for the
normal skin color to appear. The skin color variation will depend
greatly on the process used during the hair removal as there is
more than one process available.
What is the laser hair removal process?
The laser hair removal process works by sending a beam of laser
light to a group of hair follicles with enough power to disable
or destroy the root, but not enough power to harm the surrounding
skin. The laser beam finds the hair follicles by targeting
melanin (the substance that gives skin and hair dark color).
People that have dark hair and light skin are the ideal candidate
for laser hair removal. However, it is important to note that the
laser process will not work on those people that have red, grey
or real blonde hair.
Is the hair removal process painful?
The answer to this question varies greatly by patient as everyone
feels pain differently and no two people are the same. Some
patients have said it feels like a pinch while other patients
noted it feels like a rubber band snapping your skin. For the
most part most patients have noted mild discomfort and in those
cases the doctor will usually provide the patient with a mild
anesthetic during the hair removal process.
How long is the hair removal process? And how many treatments
will I need?
Both of these questions don’t have a single definitive answer.
The length of time for removal will depend on the area being
treated. How many treatments needed also have many different
variables to consider making the answer different per case - skin
tone, hair coloring and the coarseness of hair are all variable
that help determine how many hair removal treatments will be
needed.
While these are our opinions on the laser hair removal process,
it is best to do your research and find out the specifics for
your removal process. It’s always best to get more then one
opinion and be thorough before making your decision.
