LASER HAIR REMOVAL

 

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal (LHR) is a procedure conducted under medical supervision to get rid of unwanted hair. It uses a concentrated beam of light to destroy the hair follicle, thus preventing any near-term regrowth.(Best Dermatologist in Gurugram)

How is Laser Hair Removal different from traditional hair removing techniques?

Traditional hair removing methods usually close trim/shave the hair or pluck it, which is a temporary measure and the hair starts growing again after a few days.

Laser Hair removal is a long-term solution that destroys the hair follicle.

How does Laser Hair removal work?

Laser Hair Removal works on the principle of converting the energy of a highly concentrated beam of light to heat energy by getting absorbed in the hair pigments, which then destroys the hair follicles. This process is known as "selective photothermolysis”.

• Selective because it is specific to a specific area
• Photothermolysis because it uses the light and thermal energies

Please note that this is a long-term solution, not a permanent solution.

Multiple cycles of laser hair removal treatments are done for initial hair removal, and continued maintenance treatments might be needed on a case-to-case basis.

What happens during the laser hair removal process?

Procedure preparation:

• The target area is cleansed.
• If required, a numbing gel is applied to people with highly sensitive skin.

Setup:

• The procedure is conducted in a specifically designated room
• It is compulsory to wear protective eyewear during the procedure (Best Dermatologist in Gurugram)
