Why opt for laser hair removal?

There are many options for getting rid of unwanted hair. However, they are all temporary fixes and need to be repeated every few days to few weeks. Laser hair removal on the other hand, gets rid of the hair permanently and there is no need to constantly repeat it once the treatment has been completed. Once a year touch up session may be needed to maintain the fantastic results.

The risks associated with the treatment are also very little. Traditional methods like waxing, plucking and tweeting always carry the possibility of ingrown hair and infections which are absent with the laser treatment.

How does laser hair removal work?

The treatment works in a pretty simple manner. The area to be treated is shaven to get things underway. The laser is set at specific frequencies in order to make sure that it targets the dark matter in the hair follicles which is known as melanin. The areas nearby remain largely unaffected. As the melanin heats up, the size of the follicle starts to shrink. As a result, the follicles eventually loses its ability to reproduce hair. After a few days, the follicles start to shed and look a lot like blackheads.

Does it work for everyone?

The treatment is ideal for people with lighter skin tones and darker hair. It may not be effective in people who have a dark skin and the color of their hair and body are similar. There are certain Laser Hair Removal Dubai developed for people with darker skin tones as well. Consult with your dermatologist to ensure that you are a good candidate.

Is it a painful procedure?

The treatment does have some pain involved in it but it is certainly less than that from the other procedures. It can be controlled with the application of a cooling gel. To make the patient further comfortable, cool air can also be blown during the treatment.

How many sessions are needed?

The treatment starts showing its results soon after the first treatment. Approximately 20% of the follicles stop producing hair after the first session. In order to get the complete results, generally six to seven sessions of Laser Hair Removal Dubai are needed.

Each session lasts for a short period of time. It is also important to take reasonable break between sessions which is generally four to six weeks depending how well you respond to the treatment. Do keep in mind that occasional touch up sessions will be required for getting rid of the hair that were in resting phase during the main treatment.

What are the side effects?

Side effects are generally mild and last for a short period of time. The common issues are redness and swelling along with some itching in the treated area. In rare cases, bruising can also take place though it too is temporary in nature.

Be ready for photo sensitivity after the treatment. It can last from a few days to a few weeks. It is best that you avoid the sun during the peak hours after the treatment. When you go out in the sun, wear a large hat and apply a broad spectrum sunscreen. If the hair removal has taken place on the body, be sure to wear clothes that completely cover that area.

Is there any downtime?

Laser Hair Removal does not have any downtime. A person can get back to work soon after the treatment has been completed. Rest is recommended but not a must in most cases. It is not a bad idea to take a couple of days off when you are getting the treatment for the first time. This will allow you to avoid any unexpected problem keeping you away from important engagements.
