Is Laser Hair Removal Safe? - Dr. Marwah's Clinic

1. There is so much trouble with removing unwanted hair through waxing every month. Every girl wants to have a hair-free skin forever, without having to face the hassles and time to sit for the waxing procedure every few weeks, let alone the pain and discomfort they face. But then, they feel there is nothing they can do about it, and they helplessly go into the salon every month to have their hair removed. But, do you know that there is, in fact, a permanent procedure for getting rid of your hair? Yes, it’s true! Laser hair removal is a procedure that can help you effectively remove hair from your skin so that it returns never again. How is the laser hair removal procedure conducted? In the laser hair removal procedure, unwanted hair is removed by exposure to laser light. It works on the principle of selective photothermolysis, which involves the use of a specific wavelength of light to affect a targeted tissue while having minimal effect on the surrounding tissue. The excessive amount of melanin present in the hair absorbs the pigment to destroy the follicle, which results in permanent removal of the hair. Because of the property of dark colour reacting better, laser hair removal works best for a dark hair- light skin combination. And, this is the same reason why it does not work for blonde or red hair. Is laser hair removal a one-time procedure?

2. Generally, to get rid of unwanted hair permanently, there is required at least 6-8 sessions of laser hair removal to completely kill the hair follicles. However, the number of sessions may be more, depending upon the individual’s skin and hair quality. The sessions are continued until the hair growth is permanently stopped. Is laser hair removal safe? Laser hair removal is generally safe, which brings amazing results. However, nothing comes without side-effects. Some of the most common side-effects include redness, itchiness, and swelling. But, all of these normally disappear in two to three days. Some people are also known to encounter infections, or skin lightening/darkening, depending upon their skin quality. However, there is nothing to worry about in such cases. These side- effects can be avoided with proper moisturization of skin and even if it happens can be treated, if action is taken immediately. Also, you will experience a little pain in your treated area while the procedure. But, this is obvious, as we all know, “No pain, No gain”! While most of the above side-effects are common and go away with time, other problems like infections, blisters, and skin lightening/darkening can be avoided if the right kinds of lasers are chosen for your skin.
