Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal involves the use of specialized lasers that emit controlled pulses of light. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles, heating them and damaging their ability to produce new hair. The surrounding skin remains unharmed as the laser's energy is selectively absorbed by the hair follicles.

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarms, and other areas.

Before the procedure, the technicians adjust the laser equipment according to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated, as well as your skin color.

A laser beam will be absorbed by the pigment in your hair during the process. That hair follicle will be harmed by the light's conversion to heat. The injury will cause the hair to cease growing. It takes two to six sessions to do this. The hair that will be treated will be clipped to a few millimeters above the skin's surface right before the process. To lessen the pain from the laser pulses, the technician will typically apply a topical numbing agent 20 to 30 minutes before the operation.

Depending on the laser or light source used, the patient and the technician will need to wear appropriate eye protection. The technician will give the treatment area a pulse of light. After the procedure, the technician may give you ice packs, anti-inflammatory creams or lotions, or cold water to ease any discomfort.
