Laser is a device which directs a single beam of light to the target area. This light is of a single color and of a specified wavelength and its target is the dark melanin pigment which is contained within the hair shaft. Its main purpose is to damage the hair follicle or pigment mechanically as well as thermally but without causing any harm to the neighboring area. The result smooths clean skin minus the hair!!!
What to Expect?
After all the painful waxing, shaving and electrolysis experiences, its truly as simple as one plus one. Of course, it would be a lie to declare it altogether a painless experience, yet the pain and irritation is bearable and relatively quite less. Some redness and swelling may occur.
Sometimes a stinging feeling also prevails for the first 24 hours. In some cases, slight crusting is experienced which can be minimized using petroleum jelly or Vaseline.
During the procedure, you have to wear protective goggles to avoid accidental damage. The doctor applies a cooling gel and antiseptic lotion before commencing the treatment. The laser gun is used and certain discomfort and stinging is felt. It is advised to avoid sun and exercise for the next 24 hours to let the skin relax naturally.
So, is it worth the trouble?
Well, it actually depends on you!! If you are a good candidate and have the required qualities, chances are you are never going to regret the decision. Permanent 100% hair removal in the first session is a far fetched thought.
Re-growth occurs, but fewer hairs appear and that too have a finer texture. The number of sessions required to permanently remove hair depends on your skin and hair type.
Multiple treatments have been found to be more effective in the long run. Usually the treatments are placed 4-6 weeks apart. Six to eight treatments can help attain a good reduction of hair coupled with slow growth rate, although different people show different results.
It is advised to have a meeting with your doctor and discuss the expectation level of results, benefits as well the side effects. It is always a good idea to let him/her know of your previous medical history and medications if any. Usually this session includes your photographs from various angles to actually pinpoint your target area.
Whether its a small area like upper lip, chin, bikini line, arm pits or large areas like legs, arms or back, one thing is for sure. Laser Hair Removal information helps you feel good and clean. Laser Hair Removal information gives you the confidence to be yourself anywhere, anytime and that is simply priceless.
