Laser Hair Removal

What is laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that removes unwanted hair using a concentrated light beam called a laser. The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the light that a laser generates during laser hair removal. The light energy is transformed into heat, which harms the skin’s hair follicles, which are tube-shaped sacs that create hair. Future hair development is inhibited or delayed by this injury. Laser hair removal typically doesn’t result in permanent hair removal, even while it successfully slows hair growth for extended periods of time. For initial hair removal, several laser hair removal treatments are required, and maintenance treatments may also be required. All skin types can benefit from laser hair removal, however those with dark hair and light complexion will get the greatest results.

Why choose laser hair removal

1. It’s Fast

Laser hair removal is the quickest approach to remove unwanted hair if you’re looking for a quick fix.

Although you will need to attend several treatment sessions, most of them are brief. You will spend less time under the laser if the treatment area is smaller.

2. Compared to other hair removal techniques, it causes less pain.

We employ the newest, painless diode hair removal laser technology.

3. It is accurate

Laser hair removal is perfect for those who want to target and eliminate a few specific hairs because of its very precise technology.

Because of this, it’s a fantastic choice even if you want to get rid of little patches of hair around your nose, eyebrows, upper lip, bikini line, or hairline.

4. It is capable of eliminating hair from any area of the body.

It’s particularly perfect for the back and bikini area, which can be very painful to wax and difficult to reach with razors.

5. It Avoids Hair Ingrown

Ingrown hairs can result from hair removal techniques including shaving and waxing. A great alternative if you frequently get ingrown hairs is laser hair removal.

You won’t ever have to worry about those annoying hairs growing back in or curving back into the body and becoming ingrown again because you’ll have destroyed the hair at the root.

6. You Avoid Having to Put Up with Regrowth

Certain techniques, like waxing and plucking, necessitate a period of regrowth between treatments. You can always have smooth, hair-free skin with laser hair removal.

7. It’s a Sustainable Solution

With laser hair removal, the majority of people have long-lasting, permanent results. It’s still one of the best long-term options, however in some situations you could need a touch-up a few months or years later.

At the very least, you’ll notice a long-lasting decrease in hair growth that gets easier to keep up with. Although laser hair removal is effective on all skin tones, it works best on those with dark hair and light skin. The skin in the treated area may temporarily become more pigmented in those with darker skin tones.

Patch test and consultation

The first step to being hair-free is your consultation and patch test. Before administering a few laser energy shots to each location you want treated, we will review your medical history and determine that you are safe to receive treatment. In addition to serving as a crucial safety precaution, you get to feel the laser sensation prior to receiving your first appropriate treatment.
