Overview
Do you still opt for old-school methods of removing unwanted hair like plucking, shaving, waxing, electrolysis, or chemical depilatories? Time to say goodbye to such painful ways and opt for a painless yet effective way of hair removal. It is one of the most popular hair removal methods. If you’re dissatisfied and want to get rid of unwanted hair, laser hair removal is worth considering. Well, before undergoing this treatment, get to know more about this procedure, its benefits, and its risks. This article covers everything from what you should expect before and after the treatment.

What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a noninvasive medical procedure to remove or reduce unwanted hair from different areas of the body. It is one of the most prevalent cosmetic procedures for hair removal and is thus broadly welcomed by dermatologists. It is an ideal option for people who are aiming to achieve long-lasting and effective upshots.

The basic idea used behind hair removal is to make a particular wavelength of light and pulse identical. The goal is to achieve the best possible effect on a hair follicle while causing a minimal effect on the surrounding tissues. During laser hair removal, a laser transmits a light, which is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) present in the hair. The light energy is thus converted to heat, which vandalizes the hair follicles (tube-shaped sacs within the skin) producing hairs. This impairment hinders or slows forthcoming hairs. Thicker hair has more melanin, which helps in better absorption of lasers and eventually leads to more hair removal.

What are the addressed areas and benefits?
For laser hair removal, target areas include:

• Back
• Shoulders
• Arms
• Underarms
• Chest
• Bikini area
• Legs
• Neck
• Upper lip
• Chin
• Face
• Abdomen
• Full body

Generally, people with dark hair and light skin are considered ideal for laser hair removal. And, people having dark skin tones are treated with a different kind of laser that is capable of identifying hair against their skin. Lasers are not recommended for people with light and non-pigmented hair. It is not really effective on gray, blonde, or white hairs. Lasers work best on actively growing hair follicles, also known as anagen.

What are the benefits?
Accuracy: Lasers can accurately target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Swiftness: One of the many reasons to choose laser hair removal over other methods is its speed. Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second to treat a considerable amount of hair in one go. Due to its speed, small areas like the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, might require an hour.
Convenience: Most patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven sessions. In most circumstances, patients encounter the tiniest discomfort during and after the procedure.
Minimal Downtime: Little to no downtime is required. Isn’t that amazing?

How do you prepare?
Before undergoing laser hair removal, make sure your doctor is board-certified, as this procedure requires a skilled and well-trained doctor. Do your research work before making any decision.
Before your scheduled treatment appointment, your doctor will brief you about the things to be taken care of. For the best outcomes and minimal risks, follow your doctor’s instructions. Here’s a list of the common instructions he might give you.
Avoid sun exposure for a few weeks or days before the treatment because laser hair removal is not ideal for tanned skin.
Avoid rubbing or scratching the skin.
Limit or totally stop waxing and plucking hairs prior to your treatment.
Do not consume anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, as it may increase bleeding.
If you have a cold or any pre-existing infection, laser hair removal cannot be executed.
Patients with darker skin tones will be advised to apply a skin-bleaching compound.

What is the laser hair removal procedure?
Right before the procedure begins, targeted areas will be trimmed to a few millimetres outside the skin surface, and the areas will be cleaned. Numbing gel is applied on relatively sensitive skin. During the approach, everyone in the room (including you) will be instructed to wear special shielding eyewear to prevent any damage from the laser rays. Moreover, to protect the outer layers of your skin, a cold gel or special cooling device is used. This will help the laser light penetrate the skin. The laser used will be set according to the skin colour, hair thickness, and the areas of treatment. Once the numbing gel kicks in, the doctor concentrates a ray of high-energy light on the chosen area. Some patients report a feeling similar to a rubber band snapping or a sunburn-like sting. As the hair evaporates from the energy of the laser, there can be a sulfur smell from the smoke puffs. The procedure time depends on the targeted areas. Small areas require a couple of minutes, while larger areas like the chest require more time.

What should you expect after the procedure?
The healing time after the procedure is minimal, and most patients can resume work directly thereafter. Applying sunscreen is important before and after the treatment. It helps in preventing skin irritation.

You can experience a reduction in the number of hairs in the treated area immediately. Two to eight weeks post laser hair removal, you may experience a rise in hair growth in the treated area because all hair follicles do not react equally. Most patients see a 10 to 25 per cent reduction in hair after their first treatment. It normally takes between three and eight sessions for permanent hair loss. Hence, evaluation with your specialist before the procedure will give you a more pleasing idea of how many treatment sessions you may need depending on your hair growth. Also, you will likely need a touch-up session yearly to maintain the effect.

What are the risks associated?

• The potential side effects include:
• Swelling
• Redness
• Discomfort and skin irritation

They typically reduce within a few days after the treatment. If symptoms continue, you should contact a doctor.

Some of the uncommon side effects include:

• Scars
• Burns
• Blisters
• Infections
• Permanent changes in skin colour

Therefore, choosing the right doctor is very crucial. A board-certified doctor can greatly reduce the chances of risks.
