Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is one of the best ways to remove unwanted body hair, which requires a series of information on primary preparations and secondary care to achieve the desired result. The number of sessions varies from person to person and you should not believe rumors in this regard.

Introduction of laser hair removal

Having hair-free skin has been one of the standards of cleanliness and beauty among people throughout history. For a long time, men and women have been using different methods to remove unwanted body hair. Methods such as using a razor, shaving cream, and powder have short-term effects, and other methods such as threading, waxing, and using a Moken device have relatively long-term effects. But in the meantime, laser hair removal is known as one of the best ways to get rid of unwanted hair in the world. Compared to other methods such as using wax, razor and tweezers, this method is more effective and in addition to its long-term effect, it leads to skin softness. Laser hair removal can be used in different areas of the body, such as the face, legs, chin, back, hands, armpits, bikini, and other places. In fact, by targeting the pigments in the hair follicle, the laser destroys them without causing any damage to the surrounding skin. Mainly, black and thick hair laser is highly effective in people with light skin, and laser is less effective in pale or colorless and fluffy hair.

Each laser pulse lasts only a fraction of a second and targets a large number of hairs in this short period of time. Therefore, it can be said that laser hair removal in small areas such as under the lips is done in less than a minute, but in larger parts of the body such as legs, an hour may be needed.

Requirements for laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is more than just hair removal, and there are a number of issues to consider before proceeding. It should be kept in mind that the use of the laser hair removal device is a medical procedure and it requires careful training and skill, because its incorrect use can bring potential risks. Burns, permanent changes in skin color and scars are among the adverse consequences of laser hair removal by inexperienced and inexperienced people. As a result, choosing centers with experienced staff who have deep knowledge in the field of skin greatly reduces the risk of possible side effects.

If you decide to start laser hair removal, four weeks before the laser session, you should avoid using wax, electrolysis or any other method that leads to hair removal from the roots. It is very important to have clean skin at the time of the laser, and you should trim the desired area with a razor or a razor a day before the laser. Hair removal before laser should only be done with the mentioned methods and the use of other methods such as hair removal powder and cream are not recommended.

The number of laser hair removal sessions

Normally, ten to fourteen days after laser hair removal, the hair starts to fall, and the results of the treatment will probably be seen after the first session. After the first treatment, you can expect 10-25% hair loss. It should be kept in mind that the color and thickness of the hair, the treated area, the type of laser used and the color of the skin affect the laser results.

Most people need six to eight sessions of laser hair removal, and after completing the course, they will not have any hair on their skin for several months or several years. If the hair grows back, the hair will be lighter in color and finer than before.

The interval between laser hair removal sessions is different for people. The average session interval is four to six weeks, but the laser operator determines the session interval according to skin conditions and hair regrowth. In people with high hair growth, the interval of sessions may be less than once every four weeks. In addition, people who suffer from hormonal problems or ovarian laziness should treat their problem before laser hair removal.
