What is Laser Hair Removal?
Unwanted Hair can be embarrassing, unsightly and time-consuming to remove. Conventional ways of removing hair, such as shaving and waxing, need to be done repeatedly and causes often skin irritations, infections and pain. Laser hair removal involves using a laser to heat the small cavities in the skin, known as follicles, which hair grows out of. The heat of the laser damages the follicles, which prevents future hair growth in that area. Hair follows a specific growth cycle with three distinct and concurrent phases: anagen (growing), catagen (regression) and telogen (resting, not growing) phases. Each phase has specific characteristics and all three phases occur simultaneously; one strand of hair may be in the anagen phase, while another is in the telogen phase. The anagen phase has also two distinct hair growth sub-phases; anagen –early hair growth and anagen- active hair growth. The laser treatments affect only the anagen-active hair growth phase.
What must I consider during, before and after treatments?
In order to gain optimal results and minimise any risks, you should avoid putting any creams such as lotions or sun creams on the area that is to be treated. Furthermore it is of utmost importance that you shave the night or morning before the treatment. There has to be no hair on the surface of the skin, otherwise, that hair will absorb some of the laser energy, and that is what might cause pain.
The better the client is shaved, the more comfortable the procedure will be. After the procedure you should avoid direct sun exposure for 3 days as well as strong touch on the treated area. It is recommended that you wear lose clothing in order not to cause irritations of the treated skin. The treated area should not be exposed to warm or hot water for several hours, and washing the area should be done with a mild body wash. In few cases one might experience minor redness and swelling after treatment. Applying a cool compress can help reduce your discomfort.
When will I see the results after having laser hair removal?
You will likely see the results immediately after treatment. The results vary from patient to patient. The colour and thickness of your hair, area treated, and colour of your skin all affect the results. You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment. With each treatment your hair will get finer and finer, until it does not grow anymore.
