Laser Hair Removal
unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic
procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair
follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the
hair.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas.
Benefits of laser hair removal include:
Precision. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
Speed. Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a
second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an
area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such
as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas,
such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour.
Predictability. Most patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven sessions.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is more than just ”zapping” unwanted hair.
It is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries
potential risks. Before getting laser hair removal, you should
thoroughly check the credentials of the doctor or technician performing
the procedure.
If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you
should limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before
treatment. That’s because the laser targets the hairs’ roots, which are
temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.
You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and
after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective
and makes complications after treatment more likely.
What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal
Just before the procedure, your hair that will be undergoing
treatment will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface.
The laser equipment will be adjusted according to the color, thickness,
and location of your hair being treated as well as your skin color.
It will also be necessary to protect the outer layers of your skin with
a cold gel or special cooling device. This will help the laser light
penetrate the skin.Next, the technician will give a pulse of light to the
treatment area and watch the area for several minutes to make sure the
best settings were used and to check for bad reactions.
When the procedure is completed, you may be given ice packs,
anti-inflammatory creams or lotions, or cold water to ease any
discomfort. You may schedule your next treatment four to six weeks
later. You’ll get treatments until hair stops growing.
Recovery and Risks
For a day or two afterward, the treated area of your skin will
look and feel like it’s sunburned. Cool compresses and moisturizers may
help. If your face was treated, you can wear makeup the next day unless
your skin is blistering.
Over the next month, your treated hair will fall out. Wear
sunscreen for the following month to help prevent temporary changes in
the color of the treated skin.
Blisters are rare but are more likely in people with darker
complexions. Other potential side effects are swelling, redness, and
scarring. Permanent scarring or changes in skin color are rare.
Costs of Laser Hair Removal
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the
average cost for laser hair removal is $235 per session. The cost varies
widely, depending on factors that include:
- Size of the area being treated and time required for treatment
- Number of treatments required
- Whether a doctor or someone else is performing the procedure
- The part of the country where you are having the procedure
Ask for a consultation to get a better idea of the cost for your particular case.
