Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted air is a wide cosmetic concern for women and men. Many temporary methods of hair removal have been used with
unsatisfactory results. Shaving, waxing, and threading irritate the skin and causes skin bumps. Electrolysis
is painful, slow process and may cause scarring.
Medical Lasers have been used for many years for a variety of medical cosmetic procedures such as facial veins, age
spots, skin rejuvenation, birthmarks and other conditions. In late 90s, new technologically advanced LASERS using
the principle of selective photothermolysis have been introduced as an efficient effective way for Permanent
Reduction of excessive hair.
These revolutionary long-pulse high energy alexandrite & ND-YAG lasers emit a gentle beam of light that passes harmlessly
through the skin to the hair follicle. The laser energy is transformed into heat which destroys the hair follicle
without damaging the surrounding structures. The process takes from several minutes to over an hour, depending
on the area of the body to be treated.
Laser hair removal is non invasive, gentle, fast, virtually painless and drastically reduces undesirable hair growth
from all parts of the body. It leaves the skin looking smoother and silkier. A series of treatments are required spaced at 6 - 10 weeks apart.
Dark hair responds well to treatment while blonde, grey, and red are less responsive. Side effects are minimal
and transient such as redness, swelling, hypo and hyper pigmentation and occasionally blistering.
Experience is crucial for selecting the proper laser parameters to use for any body area for any individual
patient. That is why it is essential to select an experienced laser hair removal facility.
