Laser hair removal in Chandigarh is easily available now and is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures. It beams highly concentrated light in the hair follicles. Pigment present in the follicles absorb the light which destroys the hair.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Lasers are helpful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas.
Advantages of laser hair removal include:
Precision
Lasers can particularly target dark, coarse hairs and leave the surrounding skin undamaged. Laser hair removal specifically targets hairs right down at the follicle. This is a particular benefit over intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal as the use of the laser makes it more suited to treating people with dark skin tones. The precision also means you should get results sooner.
Speed
Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and have the potential to treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat approximately quarter of your skin area every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour.
Predictability And Effectiveness
Mostly patients experience permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven sessions.
Minimal Side Effects
There are just few minor side effects of laser hair removal, and those which do occur does not last more than few days.
Cost Effective
Once you begin your journey with laser hair removal, you will no longer require to spend money on regular expensive wax treatments, depilatory creams, razors or other methods of hair removal. It may be more cost but it’s once in a life time cost, over your life, you will save a huge amount by no longer spending on these procedures. You will also save yourself a great deal of time that would otherwise be spent shaving or waxing.
No Ingrown Hairs
Unlike waxing, threading and epilating, you will not have to put up with painful ingrown hairs. Neither will you have to tolerate razor burns or irritation. Laser hair removal can even improve ingrown hairs.
No Waiting For Surface Hair Growth
You don’t need surface hair for a laser hair removal treatment. In fact, you are encouraged to shave soon before your session to prevent you scorching any of the surface hair. This means that while you are waiting for the laser hair removal to work, you can remain fuzz-free, unlike with waxing and other hair removal methods where you must have long enough surface hair before a session.
Fast
Treatment times are fast, although speed will depend on the size of the area being treated, and you are likely to see results within the first few weeks. You can also think of the time you will save by not having to shave or have regular waxing.
Preparation for Laser Hair Removal
If you are planning to undergo laser hair removal, you need to limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before treatment. That’s because the laser targets the hairs’ roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.
You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and often creates complications after treatment.
Expectation During Laser Hair Removal
Just before the laser hair removal procedure, your hair that will be undergoing treatment will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface. Usually topical numbing medicine is applied 20- 30 minutes before the laser procedure, to help with the sting of the laser pulses.
The laser equipment will be adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated as well as your skin color.
FAQ’s
Is it really permanent?
In short, no Laser hair removal works by heating the hair follicles to stop new hairs from growing. This puts the hair follicles in a state of dormancy for a long period of time,though, much longer than with shaving and waxing. When the hairs do grow back, they’ll be lighter, finer, and fewer in number.
Although the procedure is often termed as a form of “permanent” hair removal, laser treatment only reduces the number of unwanted hairs in a given area. It doesn’t get rid of unwanted hairs completely.
Does It Cause Infertility?
No, laser hair removal does not cause infertility. If you are planning to have laser hair removal on your bikini line, you must be concerned about it affecting your fertility. Laser hair removal do not cause infertility or affect the ovaries because it does not go deep enough through the body tissues to be able to reach that part. The laser is controlled so that it only targets the hair follicle and it cannot pass through the abdominal wall which is strong and thick due to the presence of muscle.
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
No, laser hair removal is not painful at all. You may encounter some discomfort throughout the procedure – this has been described by many as feeling as though a rubber band is being snapped against your skin, but you would not find it painful.
