Laser Hair Removal

What is Laser Hair Removal?

• Laser hair removal is based on the absorption of concentrated light energy by pigmented (melanin-containing) hair follicles. The concentrated light energy is converted to heat and causes enough follicle damage to inhibit or delay future growth. Selective photo thermolysis is what laser applications are based upon, using precise wavelengths of light to minimize damage to surrounding tissue.
• Compared to shaving and waxing, laser hair removal gives longer-lasting results in reducing hair growth. Both shaving and waxing provide immediate results but require ongoing maintenance and can lead to side effects, such as ingrown hairs.
• Diode and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) are both technologies for aesthetic procedures such as hair removal or skin rejuvenation, but they differ in their approach. When diode lasers emit a wavelength of visible light, they emit a very focused beam. In contrast, IPL devices use a broader source of light.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

• Full body laser hair removal is possible and means treating various areas of the body for the reduction of unwanted hair or complete hair removal.
• You can treat unwanted hair on the face, too, including, but not limited to, the upper lip, chin, and sideburns, and it can be an effective way to get rid of unwanted hair!
• You can treat the underarms, which is a common area and able to have successful laser hair removal. With respect to these two areas common for treatment, underarm hair removal is a popular choice, either on its own or in conjunction with other treatments, for eliminating unwanted hair. Both men and women seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair take advantage of this area.
• You can treat the bikini area. The bikini area and full bikini area are safe areas for laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is just as popular for the bikini area, including the bikini line, pubic area, and perianal area in a cosmetic procedure.
• You can treat unwanted hair on the legs and arms with laser hair removal. Men and women report success in laser hair removal for the legs and arms. It is a common treatment area for permanent hair reduction with long term results with or with before or during another area of treatment.

What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

• Laser hair removal has safety and precision as key advantages. It is more precise than traditional hair removal because it disrupts hair follicles while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin, leading to long-term hair removal and less ingrown hairs.
• Laser hair removal can be a cost-effective option over the long term, despite it being more expensive than traditional hair removal methods like shaving and waxing. And while you will need to make the initial investment in a few sessions, you also eliminate or can considerably reduce expenses, like razors, shaving cream, waxing appointments, and any other products and services for temporary hair removal.
• Laser hair removal greatly decreases the number of ingrown hairs. You may be familiar with this nuisance from shaving and waxing. Ingrown hairs are the result of damaging the hair follicles which causes the hair to curl back inward and grow into the skin. Laser hair removal not only damages, or disables the hair follicle but prevents the hair from growing into the skin in the first place.
• Laser hair removal is efficient for all skin types and modern lasers allow for safe and effective treatments for large numbers of people.

What to Expect: Procedure & Preparation

• Laser hair removal operates by focusing concentrated light on the pigment (melanin) of hair follicles in the dermis, at which point, the intense heat warms and damages the follicle to inhibit hair growth. Multiple laser treatments are necessary as hair has different cycles of growth, and hair follicles in the active growth stage or anagen phase, is where laser hair removal is most effective.
• Laser hair removal usually causes discomfort that is tolerable in most cases- not intense pain. Most patients describe the discomfort as a rubber band snap or tingling sensation. Many of the newer laser hair removal systems have cooling technology, for example, cooling gels or air-cooling technology, that can be used during treatments to lessen discomfort.
• Properly preparing the skin before a laser hair removal treatment is essential for safety and effectiveness. Avoiding the sun, shaving the area, and stopping any certain skincare products are key steps.
• Prior to and after a laser hair removal session, avoiding sun exposure and some methods of hair removal is very important. Sun exposure may cause increased complication risk, including skin discoloration. Waxing and plucking can cause complications by removing hair from the follicle, rendering the laser ineffective.

Body Parts that can Benefit from Laser Hair Removal

• Laser hair removal can be performed on many different areas of the body for male and female patients. The most frequently treated areas include the face (upper lip, chin, cheeks, forehead and neck), underarms, arms and legs, bikini region, back, chest and stomach area. Other areas include the hands, feet, and even the ears and nose.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe & Effective?

• The FDA has given its approval for laser hair removal, with the specific indication of “permanent hair reduction.” The FDA has approved multiple laser devices to perform “permanent hair reduction,” which means the devices have been determined to be safe and effective when used by properly trained professionals.
• Laser hair removal may have mild side effects, including redness and irritation, which last a few hours or a few days and will resolve. Other side effects can include swelling, skin sensitivity, and mild discomfort.
• Drug hair removal targets individuals with light skin and dark hair. Overtime, due to advances in laser technology, it is also now a good option for a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin tones.
• Overall, laser hair removal requires multiple sessions to treat hair follicles that are in different growth phases. It typically takes 6- 12 sessions on average for optimal results and sessions are typically 4-6 weeks apart.

Before & After Results

• Laser hair removal varies in results; however, most patients see a significant reduction, after a series of treatments, of hair in the area treated with the laser. Some redness and swelling may occur at first, but these two conditions are temporary. Gradually, and with consistent treatment, hair becomes finer less dense, and in many cases doesn’t grow back. Results are generally the most noteworthy when treating fair skin with dark hair, because the laser is targeting the melanin in the hair follicles.
• Laser hair removal consists of a series of sessions intended to substantially diminish hair growth, but it is not always a permanent solution. Expect to attend multiple sessions because hair grows in cycles, and you may need to have a few touch-up treatments long-term.
