Laser Hair Removal Overview
Unwanted hair growth is a common concern for both men and women. Conventional hair removal methods like waxing and shaving provide quick but short-lived results with a high risk of side effects such as pain, inflammation, redness, bruises, ingrowth, and allergic reactions. A much advanced, pain-free and safer alternative is Laser Hair Removal (LHR), which gives long-lasting results.
How Does Laser Treatment Work For Hair Removal?
LHR treatment involves using a concentrated light beam to destroy stem cells in the hair follicles. You will see a permanent reduction in hair growth and density over time due to thermolysis, where the laser’s light energy converts into heat energy and destroys the unwanted hair follicles.
You will need multiple sessions to achieve hair-free skin and your dermatologist will determine the exact number of sessions for you. It varies for every individual based on the unique skin tone, hair type and thickness, chosen body area, and hormonal status that may be contributing to your excess hair growth.
