What is Laser Hair Removal?

Tired of Threading, waxing, tweezing and other painful hair removal procedures? It’s time for you to consider laser hair removal treatment. This treatment has become the most commonly done procedure for removing unwanted hair permanently. With the laser technology evolving day by day it is also the most efficient way to easily clear unwanted hair. If you are in search of the laser treatments in Chennai, here are a few things that you should be aware of.

How does the procedure work?

Highly concentrated beams of light are focussed on the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair follicles absorb the light and it is converted into heat. The heat only destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding areas unharmed. This procedure is used to remove unwanted hair from the face, leg, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas.

What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal? 

→ Laser hair removal is precise as it uses focused beams of light even on the thick and stubborn hair while leaving the skin unharmed. 

→ You would be able to see optimum results in 8-10 sessions.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal?

Before the treatment, the hair on the surface of the skin that is to be treated would be shaved. This is because the laser hair treatment works from the roots and the roots need to be intact in order for the laser to work efficiently. 

Is the treatment painful?

The equipment that we use is the FDA approved Gentle Yag laser hair removal and that particular device uses a DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) that prepares your skin for the treatment by spraying the upper layer of the skin with a cooling burst of cryogen milliseconds before the laser pulse hit the hair follicles. This process ensures that hair removal is comfortable as well as effective. 

Is there any recovery period?

There is no downtime involved post-treatment. 

How long does the Gentle Hair Removal treatment take, and how many treatments will one require?

Treatment time may vary depending on your specific needs. Laser hair removal for the whole body takes about 4 hours to complete. 

What are the Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?

There are no known side effects for the treatment. Although, it is necessary to wear sunscreen after the treatment. 

Does skin or hair colour of the person undergoing the treatment make a difference?

Hair colour does not matter in the laser treatment for hair removal. Dark hair contains a higher level of pigments that absorb laser light and removes hair from the roots. Lighter hair also contains pigments. A consultation with the experts would reveal if your hair colour might cause hindrance results from the procedure. People with any skin colour are eligible for laser treatment.
