In the laser hair removal process, the laser emits a beam of light and is absorbed by melanin, a pigment present in the hair. The energy of light is converted into heat, causing damage to the tubular sacs in the hair follicle that produces hair. This damage may hinder or slow down hair growth in the future.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Laser treatment uses high-temperature light rays (or beams) as moderate radiation. These mild laser beams destroy and heat up the hair follicles in this treatment process. This technique promises long-lasting results, i.e. hair will be removed for a longer period of time, although there are still certain risks of hair regrowth, particularly if the hair follicle is not removed properly during the laser hair removal treatment. For this reason, this procedure is not recommended as a permanent laser hair reduction process.

Laser Hair Removal Procedure

Prior to laser hair removal treatment, a medical professional (a physician, or nurse) clean up the treatment area. If the area is particularly sensitive, you can apply a numbing gel. Throughout the procedure, all the people in the room have to wear special safety glasses to avoid any form of damage to the eyes from the laser. 

When the numbing gel is activated, the healthcare specialist directs a high energy beam to the treatment area. The time duration of the process depends upon the size of the treatment area, the larger the area you desire to be treated, the longer time it will take. It only takes a few minutes for small areas, but it takes more than an hour for large areas such as a chest.

In any case, if you do not want to bear the high expense of this medical treatment, that isn’t really permanent anyway, there are many options for hair removal at home. Moreover, you can consult your dermatologist about waxing or sugaring, threading, tweezer epilators, and proper shaving techniques.

Recovery and Risks

• After 1-2 days, the treated area of the skin will tan. Although you can use the moisturizers refer by your dermatologist.
  
  
• After some days your treated hair will fall out. To stop temporary discoloration of the cured skin, apply sunscreen recommended by the dermatologist.
  
  
• Blisters are rare but are often seen in people with a dark complexion. Other possible side effects include redness, swelling, and scarring. However, the permanent scars and discoloration of the skin are very rare.
  
  

Duration of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

When the hair follicles are permanently destroyed, only then we can say that ‘laser hair removal is permanent’. If the hair follicles are only damaged, then the hair will sooner or later regrow.

• Hair regrowth time depends on a unique human hair growth cycle. In some people growth of hair take place much faster than others.
  
  
• Many people have reported that they had seen hair regrowth within a few months after the treatment. If such a condition arises, it is best to opt for other hair removal treatment methods.
