Laser is an intense beam of light, which enters the skin deep down to the follicle and the intense heat of the laser damages the follicle which inhibits future hair growth. Laser hair removal is not permanent but it has long term effects and for long lasting results there is more than one treatment sessions as well.
Laser treatment better works on the light skin with coarse hair not fine. Laser hair removal can be mildly uncomfortable because every follicle is surrounded by nerve ending, that’s why when the follicles are damaged they can be a bit painful. To overcome this, doctors apply anesthetic cream for 30 to 40 minutes before the procedure that provides adequate relief from the discomfort that occurs during the procedure.
Now the laser hair treatment is not just restricted to women, due to encroachment in technology it is possible to achieve the same smoother skin in men but in some cases men don’t want all the hairs to be removed the demand the thinning of the coarse hair in some areas of their body. Until now only this treatment can accomplish the thinning of here as desired not the complete removal. An average man needs four or five sessions for this procedure and a touch up after every one year.
Although laser hair removal is cost effective as it is now common, it slows the growth of hair but does not carries a permanent solution. It takes many sessions to provide a long period of hair free period and every year whether its men or women they need some touch ups. Fortunately the complications associated with the hair removal are rare but still it has some. Like the color of your skin fades by laser treatment on every year basis, infections can occur is the skin is injured, skins having cold sores can even develop infections after the treatment. Scarring may occur if the skin is sensitive.
All these issues can be settled by the guidance of a proper doctor who can give you better solutions.
