Laser hair removal treatment – is there anything to be afraid of?

A perfectly smooth body is a determinant of beauty, which is why women have long been tortured with razors, depilatories, wax, or other cosmetics to help get rid of unwanted hair. All these procedures, usually carried out at home, consume time and energy. In addition, they need to be repeated often, and they are not at all the most pleasant. We can win this endless fight with regrown hairs by laser hair removal. Importantly, this treatment is not only dedicated to women. Men usually have thick and dark hair, the effects can be even better than with female epilation.

What is it and how does it work?

People with thick and dark hair have the biggest problem with unwanted hair. It is very visible and looks unsightly. The hairs grow back quickly, grow into the skin, and frequent depilation using traditional methods causes skin irritation. It was mainly for these people that laser hair removal was created, i.e. the removal of unnecessary hair by means of light. Laser hair removal treatment is already a standard in aesthetic medicine. It is so proven, effective and safe that it is gaining more and more followers. Hair removal can be done on any part of the body.

The course of the procedure

Duration of the treatment depends on the depilated surface, as well as the density of hair. It can be from several minutes to even several hours. Procedure is not very painful. It is accompanied by a feeling of discomfort. The laser beam penetrates deep into the hair to destroy the part that is responsible for its growth. Laser “sees” the hair thanks to melanin, which is a dye found in the hair follicle. Laser beam only affects the hair, so it doesn’t damage delicate skin. This fact speaks in favor of using laser hair removal in sensitive areas such as bikini, mustache, beard or armpits. If the hair is thick and dark, laser hair removal is more effective. Therefore, the most suitable group for laser hair removal are fair skin with strong and dark hair.

Effectiveness of laser hair removal

Final effect of laser hair removal is quite individual, depending on factors such as skin color and hair. The best effects will be seen in people with light complexion and dark hair, because the laser captures visible hair with lots of dye. To get a smooth body, the laser hair removal treatment must be repeated six times. Then the best results will be achieved. To achieve maximum effectiveness of therapy, it is necessary to follow post-treatment recommendations. Because after the treatment the skin is irritated and prone to damage, no cosmetics are used, including soaps and deodorants. The only cosmetic that can be useful then is a cream, ointment soothing irritation.

Indications after surgery

It is important not to expose the skin to overheating after the treatment, which is why hot baths, a sauna and even a swimming pool should be put off for later. For four weeks after the procedure sunbathing and exposure to the sun is completely inadvisable. During this period it is safer to use a cream with a high UV filter, preferably 50+. For two weeks after the epilation procedure, we must also refrain from using exfoliating cosmetics, as well as herbs and light sensitizing drugs. However, to get a wonderfully smooth body, it is worth following these few sacrifices.
