What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Unwanted hairs can be annoying to deal with. Even if you shave them regularly, it will only be a matter of time before they re-emerge. Those unwanted hairs can have constant effects on your comfort and confidence levels.

Thankfully, laser hair removal has made managing unwanted hairs easier. The procedure above works by heating hair follicles. Once a hair follicle is exposed to heat, its growth ability is significantly impacted. The targeted hair follicles will sustain damage and cease to grow normally.

Laser hair removal is quite versatile in terms of its use on the body. An experienced dermatologist can use it to remove unwanted hair on your cheeks, lips, chin, neck, underarms, arms, back, chest, and bikini lines.

Preparing for laser hair removal is also fairly simple. Your dermatologist may advise you to stop using certain skincare products. They may also ask you to avoid prolonged sun exposure.

The length of laser hair removal largely depends on the part of the body that will be treated. If you are getting several areas treated, you should expect to stay in the dermatologist’s office for a few hours.

You’ll be asked to wear protective eyewear during the procedure. Because numbing gel is applied before laser hair removal, you won’t feel much beyond warm sensations on your skin.

What Can You Expect After Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal appeals to many people because it provides immediate results. Not all unwanted hairs will likely be removed during the initial appointment, but there should still be a significant reduction. As long as you follow through with the additional treatments, you can expect to see your desired results.

Those results may also remain visible for a long time. Some unwanted hairs don't return for years. At the very least, you can expect those hairs to remain absent for a few months. Even if those hairs return, they won’t be as prominent as they used to be.

If you get laser hair removal, you won’t have to worry about missing several days from work. Returning to work shouldn’t be an issue once your treatment is finished. The mild redness and swelling that result from treatment should be easily bearable for patients.
