Lately, your ungainly hair has been troubling you? Got bored and agitated with those temporary hair removal techniques of shaving, bleaching etc? Here goes the way to a modern and permanent way of removal of unwanted hair. Laser therapy is the new technique making inroads in every home as a solution for unwanted hair removal.
Laser hair removal is a procedure which doesn’t involve any type of surgery. It has gained accolades from the environment. Laser beams are used during the course to remove ungainly facial and body hair in a permanent manner. This has gained huge popularity amongst the people who want to remove unwanted hair from their armpits, chin, bikini line and at times even the whole body.
A visit to a qualified dermatologist is the first step towards laser hair removal. The dermatologist carries out simple skin test on your skin to determine your skin type and adjudge its pigmentation. Types of skin and hair color are the primary elements on which the result of laser treatment is based upon. Though the system is most effective for persons who have light skin and dark hair, it can be used on persons with darker skin too.
The dermatologists take photographs of the person who wants to get unwanted hair removed from different angles. The photographs are taken to ascertain the effect of treatment in the later phases. Medical history of the person is also taken into consideration before initiation of the process. Any type of other treatment or intake of medicines and their composition is taken into account right in the beginning.
Discuss your expectations, cost factor, risks and advantages with your doctor if you are planning to undergo unwanted hair removal by means of laser technique. It will give you an added confidence and you will be able to follow the therapy in a much better manner.
The procedure for laser treatment is simple and performed with great expertise. On reaching the laser hair removal clinic, the patient is made to wear eye protection consisting of an opaque covering or goggles. The area to be treated is shaved and a coolant is applied liberally as the laser is activated. The size or the area treated will determine the number of laser activations, or "pulses", required. . Low-energy laser is used for the treatment. The laser energy passes through the patient's skin, being absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. A percentage of the follicles are instantaneously and permanently disabled with each treatment. The duration of laser procedure is dependent upon the amount of area being treated and the density of hair. Generally no anesthesia is used.
Laser treatment may cause redness in the area where therapy has been performed. At times, the affected skin darkens in color. However, these changes are short lived and the skin recuperates slowly to give a smooth texture with a unique glow. Laser therapy may prove to be instrumental in giving you the new look that you have been craving for long. Say good bye to your temporary techniques of unwanted hair removal.
