Unwanted facial or body hair, even a birthmark is enough to lower anyone’s confidence. However, help is not far off and laser treatments could be the answer to your problem according to skincare experts.
Laser hair removal is extremely safe. The laser beam targets the melanin and does not affect any other surrounding tissues. The thicker and coarser the hair, the more melanin content, and therefore, the greater the absorption of the laser light. This in turn shrinks the hair follicle and weakens subsequent hair growth. The laser treatment itself can cause a slight tingling sensation. You can apply a numbing gel to the area to make the treatment more bearable. After a few sittings, you will find that the hair has become finer and softer.
Before Treatment Dos & Don’ts
Stop bleaching and plucking a couple of weeks before your treatment.
If, you have a tan, you are advised not to go in for laser treatment. Tanning brings all the melanin to the surface of the skin, and because the laser is absorbed by the pigment, there are chances of skin burn.
Those suffering from cold sores or genital herpes should medicate, as laser treatment can aggravate the problem.
Inform your doctor in advance in case of any allergies.
Make sure you stay away from sunlight. Use an SPF 30msunscreen on a regular basis after completing your treatment. After laser treatment, charred hair will be seen as black stubs for 10 – 15 days. If, unsightly, thread or pluck. These are dead, burnt hair, not new hair growth.
Do not scrub the area vigorously on the day you have had your laser treatment.
Do not wax the hair in case of re-growth.
Whether you want of remove underarm hair growth or hair on the upper lip, laser treatment is a good option, as thick, coarse hair becomes finer and softer and fine, soft hair may be done away with forever!
