What is Laser Hair Removal and how does it work?
At its simplest, laser hair removal is the process of using a laser – a high-intensity ray of light – to target hair follicles, causing the hair to be cast off and in time preventing regrowth.
The pigment in the hair follicle is the target of the laser used in hair removal, and for this reason laser hair removal is less effective on white, gray or extremely blonde hair. However, there are specialist laser hair removal treatments that can be used for nearly all people.
The lasers used in hair removal treatment work their magic best on new, baby hairs. This is why, when you arrange your laser hair removal sessions, you will need to make a number of appointments. After the first treatment you will see hair growing back - these are the next set of hairs that need to be treated.
This is why the schedule of laser hair removal treatments are so important – most people will need at least three iterations of treatment, and you should ensure that you follow your doctor or beauty therapist's schedule closely to get the best results.
Laser hair removal treatment are probably the most effective way of eradicating or at least managing undesirable hair growth, but it is important to realize that no hair removal process is faultless. Laser hair removal is unlikely to remove all your hair in the treatment area permanently – most people have some hair regrowth within a year – but the good news is that hairs that do grow back are likely to be paler and thinner, and will also respond more quickly and effectively to repeat laser hair removal treatments.
Step2
Are there any dangers associated with laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal can be with safety used on all body parts, including legs, back, stomach and even the delicate skin of the bikini line and the face.
Lasers are highly powerful rays of light and they can damage tissue – however, the lasers used in hair removal are specially designed to pass with safety through the skin, targeting the pigmented cells at the follicles of the hairs, underneath the surface, without damaging the surrounding tissue and the skin.
There are a few contra-indications, or circumstances in which a physician or a qualified beautician will counsel you to wait before commencing hair removal by laser. These include inflammation in the body parts you wish to have hair removal performed on, and if you have recently had certain acne treatments.
