What does Laser Hair Removal mean?
Long lustrous hair in women adds beauty to their looks, similarly, men with healthy hair look good. But unwanted hair growth on the other parts of the body is not eye-pleasing.
So people try to remove unwanted hair from their bodies using various methods. But they grow in no time and must keep repeating the same process.
Laser Hair Removal is a time and effort-saving solution for busy people. It is a procedure where the hair is removed using beams of laser light to damage the hair follicles which enables hair growth. Laser hair removal helps busy people a lot. You cannot find a better place for Laser Treatment than Perfection Cosmetic Clinic, Bolton.
How does the Laser Hair Removal procedure take place?
The patient is prepared for the procedure before the treatment begins. The hair on the area is completely removed by shaving to avoid hair burns. This helps the patient from any kind of burn. Then an exceptional goggle is used to cover the eyes to protect the eyes and eyelids. The eyebrows, eyelids, and eyes are not allowed to come into contact with the Laser rays.
The pigment melanin absorbs the light due to which hair follicles get damaged. The main aim is only to remove the hair using this technology and not ruin or burn, damaging the skin.
This process is repeated a few times and then the hair growth reduces. However, we need to maintain it with a few treatment sessions whenever necessary. This procedure is usually most effective in light-skinned people with dark hair than the darker-skinned people. So the melanin in the hair absorbs the light rays faster, hence the skin is undamaged as their skin has lesser pigmenting cells than the dark-skinned people. At Perfection Cosmetic Clinic, Manchester, we take utmost care, analyzing the skin type and suggesting the best solution for our customers.
Will it be removed in a single sitting?
No, Laser treatment will not remove hair completely in a single sitting. This treatment of Laser hair removal takes 12 to 15 sessions approximately to get the needed results. The number of sittings may depend on the area of hair growth.
Sometimes it may take lesser sessions depending on the hair growth in certain areas where the growth may be slow. Likewise, it may take more sessions in places like the upper lip, where the hair grows faster. The frequency depends on person to person, as the skin type of each person is different.
IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL PAINFUL?
Laser Hair Removal is not painful. Perfection Cosmetic Clinic, near Wigan, tries to soothe the patient using cooling gels or other variables so that the cool tingling sensation or warm pinprick will not be harsh on the patient’s skin.
External application of any anesthetic will be given to the patient if needed so that the patient can relax while the treatment continues.
Is there any risk in doing Laser Hair Removal?
Side effects may not be usually there, unless the patient does not adhere to the pre and post-treatment care advised by the practitioner or expert at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic, near Preston. Temporary discomfort is common. There is a possibility of redness or swelling soon after the treatment, but that disappears as time passes.
As the skin differs from person to person, some people may have skin irritation due to the treatment which will subside in a few hours. The colour of skin may change and also remain permanently in some cases.
Excessive hair growth or greying also happens in some people. These mainly occur in darker-skinned people and in people who do not follow the instructions given by the expert. We do see blisters or scars and crusts formed on the skin at times. These depend often on the texture and sensitivity of the skin. So a thorough checkup before the treatment is needed to analyze the skin type of the patient.
What are the precautions to be taken pre and post Laser Hair Removal?
The person undergoing the procedure should avoid various hair removal methods one month in advance. Trimming or shaving the hair, on the area of treatment is advised to avoid burns.
This helps in preparing the area by leaving the hair shaft intact below the surface to get direct access to the follicle during the treatment.
Blood thinning medications are to be avoided for a period of time before and after the procedure. The experts will advise skin-lightening creams to remove possible tan and lighten darker skin. Sunscreens should be avoided.
Exposure to the sun before and after is also instructed to the patient to avoid damage to the skin. Usage of tan beds is strictly prohibited during and after the treatment for a certain period according to the skin type.
Usage of an SPF 50 sunscreen is advised if needed. Though the change is unpredictable, as each person has a different skin type, we at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic, Blackburn, see wonderful results in every patient.
What is the result of this treatment?
To get the best results, the maintenance of pieces of advice given by experts is a must. The results may not be the same for each person. Treatments and results depend on skin type. This procedure cannot be done on people who have tattoos on their bodies, colored hair, and also around the eyes.
