What is Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser hair reduction is a medical treatment that uses a concentrated light beam (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the laser light emitted during laser hair reduction. The light energy is converted into heat, which damages the skin's hair-producing follicles, which are tube-shaped sacs. This damage delays the future hair development.

A number of sessions are required to achieve permanent hair reduction since hair development happens in cycles, with some follicles being active and others being dormant. Hence, multiple laser sessions are needed for initial hair removal, and follow-up sessions may be necessary for maintaining long term results. All skin types can benefit from laser hair removal, although those with light skin and dark hair benefit the most. But with advancement in technology the laser hair treatment is now also available for people with dark skin tone.

What Are The Things To Know About Laser Hair Removal?

Unwanted hair can be reduced via laser hair reduction. The common body areas treated are legs, armpits, upper lip, chin, and bikini line. With the exception of the eyelid or surrounding area, it is possible to remove undesirable hair from almost any place of the body. Tattooed skin also shouldn't be treated.
Skin type and hair color influence the effectiveness of laser hair reduction. The fundamental idea is that light should be absorbed by the pigment in hair but not by the pigment in the skin. The laser does not harm the skin and only damages the hair follicles.
The risk of damage to the skin is higher when there is minimal contrast between hair and skin color. Gray, red, blond, and white hair colors don't absorb light effectively; therefore, laser hair reduction is less effective on them. However, light-coloured hair laser treatment solutions are still being researched.

What Are The Benefits Of Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser hair reduction is a non-invasive procedure.
The surrounding skin is left unharmed as the laser targets the hair follicles.
Since numerous hair strands can be treated at the same time, laser hair treatment is a rather quick process.
One can get rid of the need to wax, thread, shave, etc., forever because the laser hair removal treatment works for a long time.
The only effective treatment for people with recurring pseudofolliculitis barbae, particularly in the pilonidal sinus and beard area.

What Instructions Should Be Followed Before the Laser Hair Reduction Treatment?

At Ashwini Cosmetic Hospital, the doctor will provide detailed instructions on how to get ready for laser hair removal. These could consist of:

Avoiding Sunlight: Whenever possible, avoid the sun before and after treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen every time before going outside.
Lightening of Skin: If one has a recent tan or darker skin, the doctor may also advise to postpone the procedure for a few weeks to reduce the risk of getting burns during sessions..
Avoiding Other Hair Removal Techniques: The hair follicle should not be disturbed by electrolysis, waxing, or plucking for at least four weeks prior to treatment.
Avoiding Blood-thinning Medications: Before the procedure, find out from the doctor which medications should be avoided, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Shaving of the Treatment Area: It is advised to trim and shave the day before laser therapy, so that hair roots are targeted during the procedure.

What Can Be Expected Throughout the Procedure?

During The Procedure

The patient will be given the choice to get topical anesthesia right before the laser hair removal procedure to help ease any discomfort. This is used on more delicate areas, like the bikini line and underarms, 20 to 30 minutes prior to the laser operation. The further steps are discussed as below:

The doctor will apply a handheld laser device to the patient’s skin. To protect the skin and reduce the risk of side effects, a cooling device on the laser's tip or a cold gel may be used, depending on the type of laser.
The laser beam will penetrate the skin to the hair follicles when the doctor turns on the laser. The laser beam's strong heat destroys the hair follicles, which prevents new hair from growing in. The patient might experience pain, such as a warm pinprick, and the cooling device or gel will probably make the procedure comfortable.
A small area, like the upper lip, might just require a few minutes of treatment. It could take longer than an hour to treat a larger area, such as the back or legs.

After the treatment is over, one would be given ice packs, anti-inflammatory cream, or lotion to soothe any pain.

After The Procedure

After laser hair removal, one might experience redness and swelling during the first few hours
Applying ice is recommended to the affected region to ease any pain. If one has a skin reaction immediately after laser hair removal, the doctor might apply a steroid cream to the affected area.
The expert doctors at Ashwini Cosmetic Hospital advise avoiding sunlight and tanning beds for six weeks after laser hair removal and in between appointments, or as prescribed by the doctor. Using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen every day is recommended.

What Are the Results of Laser Hair Reduction?

The hair from the treated area will gradually fall out over the course of a few days to a few weeks. It could look like the hair is still growing. Because hair growth and loss naturally occur in a cycle, it is typically necessary to receive multiple sessions.
