How is the hair removal procedure performed?
The light beam emitted by the laser device targets the pigment in the hair follicle below the surface of the skin. When the pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser light, the energy is converted into heat, resulting in thermal damage to the hair follicle. This thermal damage causes delayed hair renewal as well as permanent destruction of the hair follicle. Laser hair removal is performed in a series of treatment sessions so that hairs can be targeted at different stages of their growth cycle.
What areas can be treated?
The Alexandrite 755nm laser can safely remove unwanted hair on almost any part of the body. The most common treatment areas for women include the legs, underarms, face, and bikini line. Men usually treat the neck, upper arms, shoulders and back. However, all areas that grow hair can be treated.
What should I expect during the procedure?
Most patients tolerate the procedure easily, describing a slight stinging sensation during treatment. The laser has a built-in air cooler that not only helps protect the skin, but also helps minimize discomfort. Only a small percentage of patients resort to use of anesthetic cream mainly for the bikini area, which is considered the most sensitive. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure can last from 15 minutes to an hour. The area should be shaved or the hair cut before treatment. Patients resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. For best results it is recommended not to use wax and not to remove hair mechanically for at least three weeks before treatment.
Permanent results? How many treatments will I need?
The results of Alexandrite 755nm laser hair removal are impressive. It leads to a reduction in hair growth from the very first session. In most cases, the result will be permanent. In other cases, the hairs will be significantly reduced, becoming thinner and sparser. Hormonal changes on your body may only require occasional treatments. For most people a series of 6 to 8 treatments spaced about a month apart is recommended. The exact number of sessions needed depends on the contrast between the patient's skin color and her of hair as well as the area being treated. The lighter the skin and the darker the hair, the fewer sessions will be needed.
Are there contraindications and side effects?
Relevant contraindications for laser hair removal are a history of photodermatitis and taking photosensitizing drugs.
Another contraindication is tanned skin from exposure to the sun or (solarium). This skin is more at risk of burning. In such cases, hair removal can be avoided or the session can be done with lower energies and with special settings to make it safe.
The only side effect that may be seen is a slight redness, like a sunburn and the formation of small bumps like 'pads' at the mouths of the hair follicles on the skin which may cause minor itching. These are fully reversible and last for a few hours. only after the treatment. They are easily treated by applying a moisturizing anti-inflammatory cream to the skin.
Can laser hair removal be done during pregnancy?
Pregnancy and lactation are also relevant contraindications. We ask for the consent of a gynecologist, although the laser is not harmful to the fetus and newborn. However, the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy often make hair removal ineffective. That is why we prefer to start or to continue hair removal sessions after pregnancy.
Can laser hair removal be done in the summer?
As long as the skin is not tanned, there is no problem. However, exposure to the sun must be avoided immediately after for the next 48 hours. When the skin has tanned a little, it can be done safely, but more conservative treatment will be needed. In case there is intense tanning from the sun or from a solarium, we postpone the application until our skin returns to its normal tone.
