How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal is a noninvasive technique for removing or reducing undesirable body hair. Laser hair removal is one of the most common non-invasive cosmetic procedures in the United States, with over one million operations performed in 2016. It might be an excellent alternative for persons with excessive body hair seeking a solution to decrease or eliminate hair from big and tiny body locations.

Laser-based hair removal method

A medical expert (physician, physician assistant, or registered nurse) cleans the treatment area before the operation. If the region is susceptible, an anesthetic gel might be administered. Everyone in the room must wear protective eyewear during the treatment to prevent laser-related eye injury.

As soon as the anesthetic gel takes effect, the medical professional concentrates a high-energy laser beam on the target location. The treatment will take longer the more significant the region being treated. Small portions can be completed in a few minutes; however, more extensive areas like the chest might take up to an hour.

Some individuals describe a feeling resembling a rubber band breaking or a sunburn-like pain. As the laser’s radiation vaporizes the hair, the resulting smoke may emit a sulphurous odor.

Getting ready for full body laser hair removal

Before your consultation, your doctor should provide you with extensive preparation instructions. Following these recommendations increases the procedure’s efficacy and decreases the likelihood of adverse consequences. Here are some specific suggestions:

Avoid the sun for several days before the surgery. On tanned skin, laser hair removal should not be conducted.
Avoid irritating your skin by avoiding waxing and plucking.
Avoid using anti-inflammatory medications that may cause bleeding, such as aspirin.
The treatment should not be conducted if you have a current infection, such as a cold sore or bacterial skin infection.
In addition, if you have dark skin, you may be advised to apply a skin-lightening agent to the affected region.

Regions targeted for laser hair removal

Target regions include the back, shoulders, arms, chest, bikini zone, thighs, neck, upper lip, and chin.

How does hair removal by laser work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles, tiny skin cavities from which hair develops. The laser absorbs the hair follicle, which is attracted to the melanin pigment in the hair, and the hair instantaneously evaporates.

Because the pigment in hair attracts the laser, darker hair absorbs the laser more efficiently, making persons with dark hair and fair complexion perfect candidates for laser hair removal.

Patients with dark skin often need to undergo treatment with a laser that can detect hair against the skin.

Those with light hair are less desirable candidates and less likely to have dramatic effects, as the laser cannot effectively target non-pigmented hair. Laser depilation is ineffective on blonde, grey, and white hairs.

Do any hazards or adverse effects exist?

Rarely are there any risks associated with laser hair removal. The most frequent adverse effects are swelling, redness, pain, and skin irritation.

Typically, they subside within a few days following therapy. If symptoms continue, you should consult with your doctor.

Less frequent adverse effects include scars, burns, blisters, infections, and persistent skin colour changes.

Choosing a qualified medical expert with care can significantly lessen these dangers. To reduce the risk of problems, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends having laser hair removal done exclusively by a board-certified dermatologist.

What to anticipate with laser hair removal

The recuperation period following the treatment is modest, and most patients may resume their daily activities immediately. It is essential to continue applying sunscreen after the operation, just as before the surgery. This will avoid more inflammation.

You might anticipate a decrease in hair in the treated region soon following the treatment. The treated area may increase hair growth by two to eight weeks following laser hair removal. This is because not all hair follicles respond uniformly to the laser. After the initial treatment, most patients report a 10 to 25% decrease in hair. Permanent hair loss typically takes between three and eight sessions. The consultation with your specialist before the surgery will give you a more accurate estimate of the number of therapy sessions you may require. Additionally, you will likely need an annual touch-up appointment to maintain effectiveness.

What is the cost of full body laser hair removal?

Multiple factors affect the price, including:

The experience of the specialist
The geographic location
The size of the treatment area
The number of sessions

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2016, the average cost per session for laser hair removal was \$306. (ASPS). Most businesses provide payment plans.

As a cosmetic treatment, health insurance does not cover laser hair removal.
