Laser Hair Reduction is the permanent hair reduction method this is because it results in destructing of the follicles and hair roots. The main function of the laser is to destroy the hair follicle.A Laser hair removal utilise specific wavelength to heat up and destroy the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment within the follicle and the heat generated during this process actually destroy the hair follicle without causing much injury to surrounding tissues. Current lasers have epidermal cooling systems, which allow to use higher amount of energy and reducing pain and side-effects. 1064 long pulsed Nd YAG is used as it is safe for all skin types especially those with darker skin (Indian Skin).Usually no anesthetic is required to undergo this laser hair removal treatment as it is most of the time painless. However, each person tolerance for pain is different, and so areas of the body might be more sensitive than others. For people who find the treatment too painful an analgesic gel or cream can be recommended and will be available at the clinic where you have your treatment.
You should know that the first treatment is the most sensitive one, first you have more hair to be removed, and the heat from the laser that is absorbed by the hair increases the feeling, even if slightly. For most people this is more of an inconvenience than pain, but others will prefer to apply an analgesic or a skin cooling gel prior to treatment. You will need multiple sessions(4-6) of treatment to get significant hair reduction. There will be small risk of pigmentation of skin after the laser treatment, this will usually resolve with time. you should apply proper sun protection which helps to reduce pigmentation. You should take care of the treated areas to avoid any possible infection. Doctor will give emollients to improve your skin.
