10 HONEST ANSWERS TO THE MOST COMMON DOUBTS ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT

2. How Does The Laser Treatment Really Work? Can the laser remove hair from all regions? Well, it’s a common misperception that anything with the word ‘laser’ in it has some rocket science logic behind its working. Laser hair removal is a simple procedure that works by destroying the root of the hair follicles thereby preventing its regrowth by a great extent. As the hair melanin is the darkest parat on our skin, it absorbs all the heat energy radiated by the laser and damages itself, stunting the cells which cause hair regrowth in the process. Yes. literally from any part of your body. Right from your toes to your pelvis to your armpits and neck. You can have multiple sessions to have a full body hair removal or simply remove small patches of hair from private areas, the laser doesn’t discriminate, nor does it judge ;)

3. Isn’t Laser treatment more costly than waxing? What is IPL treatment and how’s it different from Laser Treatment? Well, not if you are prudent enough to realise its cost-saving benefits in the long run. A cosmetic survey and analysis by Harper’s bazaar compared modern laser hair removal to traditional waxing and concluded that ‘the cost of 3 laser removal sessions can potentially prove to be equivalent to 35 years worth of waxing sessions’. Now that’s a significant profit right there. Plus, unlike the painful and rash-causing waxing process, laser removal significantly improves the texture of your skin with reduced pigmentation and all is done, painlessly. Well, both of them are laser-guided treatments for hair removal and they aren’t that different in their efficiency. We won’t get too sciencey here, but simply put, simple laser treatment produces a specific wavelength of light to attack a specific shade of melanin in hair whereas the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) generates a wide spectrum of wavelengths for light to attack varying shades of melanin. Otherwise, both these treatments are similar and equally apt in the hair removal process.

4. How do I know if the laser treatment suits me? It will because the modern laser treatments aren’t limited by gender or colour. This doubt may have emerged some years back when the traditional laser treatments were said to have better outcome only for people with darker hair and visibility distinguishable fair skin tone. But with the introduction of modern laser systems which can accurately distinguish hair from the skin irrespective of their less-different shades, any man or woman with any skin and hair colour can opt for the greatly beneficial laser hair removal treatment. Even menstruating women can have this treatment wherever they desire to, without worrying about a thing ;)

5. How much should I expect the laser treatment bill to be? A laser hair removal treatment isn’t a product or a single visit service which is why it cannot be charged with standard rates. Your cost of having alaser hair removal in Pune, for example, will primarily depend on: • The extent of the area you wish to wipe clean • The aspects of your skin and hair and how much work would it involve • The number of sessions you’ll have to attend • The standard fee of the cosmetologist • The location of the clinic (in terms of the competition) In most cases, your laser hair removal cost will be majorly derived by the scale of the region to be treated and the number of sessions required. The good news is, most clinics provide discounted bundles and packages to choose from where you can pay once and attend multiple sessions over the next several months.

6. Can I swim and enjoy the summer after having laser hair removal treatment? Of course, you can. Saltwater, chlorine, beach sand, nothing can damage your smooth hair-free skin. However, sunlight can affect the result of the treatment so if you’re planning to sunbathe or swim at the beach, wear sunblock and keep the treated area covered as much as you can. Also, if you feel any skin irritation after the treatment, it’s a normal effect which disappears in a few days but we still recommend you not to go in the sun or swim until that happens. It's only a few days, after that, you can enjoy your summer all you want!
