Hair-free, smooth skin is an ideal thing to have that many yearn for, especially in the warmer months when clothing layers are peeled off in exchange for shorter sleeves, tank tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, and even bikini sets exposing the skin to the warmth and light for ultimate dose of vitamin c and sun tanning.
Most people, however, aren’t typically crazy about the idea of regular hair removal and planned hair removal sessions only for the hair to grow (often quickly) back and often requiring inconvenience in trying to plan events and vacations around their hair removal sessions. Traditionally, hair removal always consisted of shaving, waxing, hair removal creams and lotions, and tweezing or plucking until laser hair removal came around!
Laser hair removal has become so popular and revolutionary, not just in Hollywood, but also commonly found everywhere. It works by using a machine that targets hair follicles by directing light and heat to cause the follicle to become damaged so it stops producing hair, eventually leading to permanent hair loss in the area. The result? Over time, multiple sessions can cause the hair follicles to get weaker and weaker to the point where they die off, and no hair is able to be produced and grow.
This works by light-emitting laser pulses that run for a microsecond, yet can cover large areas of the body smoothly and swiftly. In essence, laser hair removal is virtually painless and very safe. It can be used on the face, neck, arms, legs, back, chest, and even the intimate parts of the body. It is required that the area to be treated for laser hair removal be shaved prior to the session. This ensures that the light and laser pulse go directly to the follicle and not any hair; otherwise, the present hairs can pick up sensation and cause you to feel a zap. As the process targets the follicle and not the hair itself, it is required that the treated area be smooth, smooth-shaven and clean of any hairs. Patients don’t feel pain, but in some cases may feel a mild rubber band snapping-like sensation as the laser head does its job. Before beginning, a cool gel is usually applied to ensure no heat is felt from the laser machine and the process is smooth and seamless. The machine will go over multiple “passes” in the direction of the hair follicles to ensure each one is treated. Post the session, it is strictly advised not to use tanning beds, go out in the sun without sunscreen, take hot showers or baths, or do any type of rigorous exercise as the pores are still open and susceptible to sensitivity, irritation, and in certain cases even infection.
The results of laser hair removal vary from individual to individual. Those who have finer and sparse hair on the body may need less treatments while those with coarse and more dense covered hair areas may require more sessions to start seeing results. It is recommended to have sessions every 4-8 weeks, depending on the hair growth and where in your hair cycle your body is.
Ditch the razors and wax sessions and invest in laser hair removal and say goodbye to unwanted hair permanently!
When doing laser hair removal services, there are some benefits that you won’t see with the conventional hair removal methods. For example, laser hair removal means no painful ingrown hairs that can otherwise very commonly happen with waxing, shaving, or even tweezing. In addition, as no cuts or abrasions are made on the skin, there is little to no skin irritation, and you can expect smoother skin faster, which means no downtime in healing or recovery. It is a more cost-effective solution in the long run if you consider the amount of money you will be spending on buying razors, shaving cream, waxing appointments, hair removal creams, and so forth.
Everyone has different hair and skin types, while some people with finer hair can expect less hair growth after a couple of sessions, those with more hair on their body or having coarser hair may need more sessions to see results. Laser hair removal works great for those with lighter skin due to the lack of pigment and melanin in the skin, although modern lasers now work well with darker skin tones also.
