Laser is one of the most popular hair removal techniques that are currently in the market. Several studies show that it’s a safe option to eliminate facial and body hair fibers and it can offer almost definitive results.
If you are considering this option, there are 7 Facts you should know before making this decision.
Laser hair removal uses a beam of l+ight that transforms into heat when in contact with the melanin (dark pigment) in each hair fiber. This technology manages to burn the hair follicle from the root. Therefore, it only works on hair with dark coloration, and not gray or blonde hair.
It is a safe technology, because it provides a certai wavelength and intensity that destroys the hair without affecting adjacent tissues.
After the treatment, it is very common to see a few and very thin hair fibers on the treated area. There are actually dead hairs expelled from the follicle which are destined to fall on their own due to their weakness.
The number of sessions necessary depends on the patient’s skin type, hair density and hormonal conditions. However, 8 sessions treatment is the average recommendation. Facial hair on men, being a bit stronger, may require additional sessions.
The best time to start treatment is during Fall and Winter. The patient needs to be very careful with sun exposure before and after each session, it is also advised abstain on getting tan 15 days before and after each session.
