Laser Hair Removal
The old fashioned ways of removing hair - shaving, tweezing, creams, waxing -are time-consuming and short lasting. The laser is a safe and gentle method for removing unwanted hair.
The laser beam penetrates your skin and gets absorbed in the hair follicle residing under the skin surface. The laser energy destroys the follicle with the heat that it generates.
Because the laser beam is large in diameter, it affects a large number of hairs simultaneously. Most people experience a stinging , burning sensation when a laser pulse is delivered. To reduce discomfort, a cooling system automatically removes heat from the surface of your skin, during and after laser exposure. A topical anesthetic cream is applied to sensitive areas.
The number of treatments required to obtain optimal results varies with hair density, hair color, skin types, and the treatment area and your hair growth cycle. Laser treatments impair the growth capacity of hair follicles when they are in an active growth cycle at the time of treatment. All hair follicles are not active at the same time. You may require several treatments within a few weeks in between to obtain the desired effect. |
