Questions
Laser hair removal involves using laser pulses to emit light into the skin, targeting the hair follicle and root. This light damages the follicle, preventing future hair growth. The procedure is most effective when the hair is in its inactive growth phase.
Since individual hairs grow at different rates, multiple sessions may be required to target all hairs. The treatment area is cleansed beforehand, and a numbing gel may be applied if necessary. Safety precautions are always followed, such as sanitising the room and equipment and using protective eyewear. A small area may be tested first, especially for sensitive skin.
To minimise side effects after laser hair removal, it is crucial to avoid sun exposure. Patients may experience redness and swelling, similar to mild sunburn, which can be alleviated with a cool compress.
Additional aftercare measures include:
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Refrain from using tanning equipment like tanning beds or sun lamps.
- Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your dermatologist.
Results from laser hair removal can vary among individuals. Some may see permanent results, while others require touch-ups every six months to a year. Factors such as hair type, skin type, and colour can influence the outcome. With proper aftercare and preparation, most patients can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment.
Laser hair removal generally has minimal side effects, typically subside within a few days. Patients may experience discomfort, swelling, and redness. In rare cases, cold sores, redness, scars, or blisters may occur. Skin colour may also lighten or darken temporarily, often due to not following aftercare instructions.
Visiting a reputable laser hair removal clinic like ours ensures minimal side effects and a smooth procedure.
The frequency of treatments depends on individual hair growth patterns. Typically, 2-6 sessions are required for effective hair removal. After completing the initial series, follow-up sessions may not be needed for several months or years. Any regrowth is usually lighter and less dense.
At our clinic, we prioritise patient safety. We adhere to strict hygiene and sanitation protocols, ensuring all procedures are conducted in a sterile environment.
