Laser hair removal is a popular, effective method for long-term hair reduction. At Vishka Skincare, we use cutting-edge technology to provide our clients with safe and efficient treatments. But how exactly does laser hair removal work? Let’s break it down for you.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. This method is highly effective in both small and large treatment areas.
How Does the Laser Target Hair Follicles?
The laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. The energy from the light travels down the hair shaft and into the hair follicle. This energy is then converted into heat, which damages the follicle and prevents future hair growth. Because laser hair removal targets the hair at the root, it provides long-term results compared to temporary methods like shaving or waxing.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
- Permanent Hair Reduction: One of the main benefits of laser hair removal is its ability to provide permanent hair reduction with a series of treatments.
- Precision: The laser targets dark, coarse hairs without damaging the surrounding skin, making it ideal for sensitive areas like the face and bikini line.
- Quick Treatment: Depending on the treatment area, sessions can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, making it a convenient option for people with busy schedules.
- Minimal Discomfort: Most people describe the sensation as a mild sting or snap, which is less painful than other methods like waxing.
What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Session
At Vishka Skincare, our certified technicians will begin by applying a cooling gel to the treatment area. You will then wear protective glasses to shield your eyes from the laser light. The technician will use a hand-held laser device to target the hair follicles. During the procedure, you may feel a slight snapping sensation, but most clients find it tolerable.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
For optimal results, laser hair removal usually requires 6-8 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. This is because hair grows in different cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase.
Aftercare and Results
After your session, you may experience some redness or swelling, but this typically goes away within a few hours. To achieve the best results, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated area. You may notice that your hair sheds in the days following the treatment, leaving you with smooth, hair-free skin.
