Hair is such an important aspect of our look that makes us appear ugly if it’s less where it has to be and unwanted or more where it’s not meant to be. Beard and moustache is very suitable and gives a macho personality to men, but if the same thing grows in a woman even if in a very lesser intensity, it becomes a cause of talk among people and they keep staring at these socially-inappropriate or socially unacceptable looks. This brings a fall in their confidence and self-esteem. Nobody likes to look ugly, but this extra and unwanted hair growth sometimes brings horrendous consequences to many lives. With the speedy advancement in cosmetology, these situations are no more dreadful as they were before the onset of cosmetology treatments. You can now easily get rid of the unwanted hair growing on your face and other parts of your body. There are many other ways like threading, shaving, tweezing to get rid of these hairs but they all tend to be temporary and hairs again peek out within a short span. To such situations, one best answer is Laser Hair Removal. This procedure is one of the finest inventions of cosmetic science, which helps you to get rid of unwanted hair growth for a quite long span of time.
How Is the Laser Hair Removal Procedure Performed?
A beam of highly concentrated light is produced by a laser. The light produced is absorbed by the hair follicle pigments, and in a fraction of seconds, the laser pulses, which in turn helps in evaporating the pigment in the follicles; thus damaging numerous follicles at once, thereby, completely stopping the hair growth. This procedure is not a painful one as the laser has an effective cooling tip that gives a significant cooling to the skin before any laser shot reaches it. Since the procedure works on the melanin content of the hair, it should be remembered that this technique of Laser Hair Removal is not suitable for grey hair or white hair removals. The sessions of the procedure depends on the hair thickness and area of treatment.
Some Points to Note
- For most customers, this treatment of hair removal is not a permanent one and you may expect some re-growth after this treatment. It is not complete removal of your unwanted hair growth.
- This treatment like others is also not free from small or big side effects. They range from little itching or swelling to more serious effects like burning, discolouration, infections and blistering as well.
- This treatment is more effective and better result yielding for darker hair follicles and does not work at all on grey hairs as the melanin content in those hairs is less or no than dark hairs.
- The treatment procedure becomes lengthy with the expansion of the area of treatment. The larger the area to be made hair-free, more are sessions the required; thus, increasing the cost of each sitting as well.
- The treatment becomes expensive as well depending on the area of treatment.
Though this procedure is not a permanent solution to unwanted hair, still it makes you tension-free for a longer period than other domestic techniques. Discuss with your cosmetic expert for other available techniques and their effectiveness as well.
