Laser Hair Removal

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. During laser hair removal a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays any future hair growth from taking place. Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, the treatment doesn't result in permanent hair removal.

Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Although laser hair removal is not fully permanent, it does last for a very long time. Laser hair removal not only removes unwanted hairs from your skin, but it also boasts benefits such as helping to reduce annoying ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal is also known for giving less irritation to the skin, so rather than having to shave everyday potentially causing you to have razor rashes, laser eliminates that. This is designed to leave you with much smoother and softer skin for months, and maybe even years.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

We all have hair on our bodies that we wish we didn't have, and we spend hours of our lives shaving, waxing, and removing unwanted hairs. However, laser hair removal is not just highly effective, but it also comes with several benefits as well. One main benefit is that it is quick and will last you for a long time, and the smaller the treatment area, the less time you will spend under the laser. Another benefit is that it is much less painful than other hair removal methods. You may find it uncomfortable, but the sessions are so quick that you probably won't even notice the pain. The treatment is also very precise, prevents ingrown hairs, and is a long-term hair removal solution.

Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal

Because this treatment is so highly effective and popular now, we feel the benefits massively outweigh the risks. However, it is still important to know what risks may come with this procedure so you're well prepared. With laser hair removal, some side effects may vary with skin type, hair colour, treatment plans, and adherence to treatment and post treatment care. However, some of the most common side effects include skin irritation, where you may experience redness and swelling, and pigmentation changes in your skin. However, any signs and symptoms are usually temporary and typically disappear within several hours.
