Laser hair reduction is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures. If you are unhappy with waxing, shaving or threading then definitely laser hair reduction is an option you can consider without any hesitation. Lasers are extremely useful, hassle free and painless for removing unwanted hair from the face, arms, legs, armpits, back chest and also the bikini line.
Hair follicles have a pigment in them known as melanin. This pigment absorbs the light emitted by the laser which eventually destroys the hair follicle. It vaporises the hair thereby removing it.
The triple wave diode laser combines 3 different wavelengths (755nm, 808nm and 1064nm) that work on different depths of the hair follicle to achieve better efficacy and ensure a safe and comprehensive hair removal treatment. The cold tip alleviates the need for any numbing creams and makes the procedure totally painless.
It works on all parts of the body:
Most patients will require 6 to 8 sittings depending on the nature, colour and texture of their hair, skin colour, area treated and the type of laser used.
If you have any minor side effects like irritation or redness, rubbing ice or cool compresses may help. You will need to use a good moisturiser and sunscreen to avoid exposure to sun in order to prevent sunburn. Sun exposure also makes the treatment less effective. Laser hair reduction does not have any downtime and hence normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Following laser hair reduction procedure, a person may be hair free for several months to years. In due course the hair that re grows will hardly be noticeable, will be much thinner, lighter and finer and can be tackled with maintenance laser treatments.
