Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries potential risks. If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before doing laser. That's because the laser targets the hairs' roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.
You should also avoid sun exposure or any tanning for six weeks before and after laser hair removal. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective with a higher risk of skin burning and makes complications after treatment.
Just before the laser, your hair that will be undergoing treatment will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface. The laser equipment will be adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated as well as your skin color.
For a day or two after laser hair removal, the treated area of your skin will look and feel like it's sunburned. Cool compresses and moisturizers may help. The best moisturizer could be Aloe Vera due to its healing effect. If your face was treated, you can wear make-up the next day. Also putting a good and suitable sun blocker is a must after any procedure on the face.
Laser hair removal is considered as the best way of permanent hair removal technique also it could be dangerous if the laser technician is untrained.
Laser hair removal may look simple, but it can go wrong. The convergence of laser light beams that penetrate skin will target the hair follicle.
The light is absorbed by the hair shaft and destroys the hair follicle.
The hair follicle carbonizes and then will shed off after a couple of days, but heat from the laser beam can cause burns, scarring, and even changes in skin color and pigments.
Somehow it could be due to improper intensity or failing to adjust the strength of laser hair removal.
The machines have to meet standards. With the most recent laser hair removal machines the risk of most side effects has reduced a lot.
The most important factors for operating a good treatment are using standard laser hair removal machines and well-trained technicians.
