What is laser hair Reduction
Laser hair reduction, also commonly known as laser hair removal, is a popular cosmetic procedure used to reduce or eliminate unwanted body or facial hair. This method uses highly concentrated beams of light, or lasers, to target and destroy the hair follicles that produce hair. The primary goal of laser hair reduction is to inhibit hair growth in the treated area, leading to long-lasting or even permanent hair reduction.
Here's how the process generally works:
Preparation: Before the procedure, the patient may be advised to shave the targeted area. This helps the laser focus on the hair follicles beneath the skin without the interference of surface hair.
Application of Gel or Cooling: A gel or cooling device may be applied to the skin to protect the outer layer and make the treatment more comfortable.
Laser Application: The technician or dermatologist will use a handheld laser device that emits intense pulses of light. This light is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair, which then heats up and damages the hair follicles, inhibiting their ability to grow new hair.
4. Multiple Sessions: Laser hair reduction typically requires multiple sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. This is because hair grows in different phases, and the treatment is most effective during the active growth phase (Anagen phase). Multiple sessions ensure that hair in various phases of growth is targeted.
5. Aftercare: After each session, patients may experience redness, swelling, or temporary discomfort in the treated area. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect the treated skin.
