Laser hair removal is the process of using a laser to kill the hair follicles inside the layer of skin. This procedure is generally done in a clinical environment and administered or supervised by a doctor. Modern procedures are very successful and have little trouble with side effects. Let’s explore some of the more frequently asked questions in relation to laser hair removal.
What is “Melanin”?
The pigment in our skin known as melanin absorbs sun light which helps to protect our skin and bodies from the harmful effects of sun rays. Our hair has melanin pigment inside it, which makes it an ideal target for lasers and makes the procedure of laser hair removal possible.
Will Laser Hair Removal work for me?
The more melanin you have in your hair, the more likely laser removal will work. Darker hair has more melanin than gray and blond hair. Also, having a strong contrast between the hair color and skin color makes for a more successful candidate. The ideal candidate has very fair skin color and very dark hair color. However, with modern lasers, procedures can work for most people.
What are the advantages of Laser Hair Removal?
The main advantage of laser hair removal is that it is a non-invasive procedure. It is also very safe if performed properly, far less painful than other methods such as waxing or electrolysis, and the successful permanent reduction in hair growth.
What is “Home Laser Hair Removal“?
There are quite a few products on the market that you can use at home to perform laser hair removal treatments yourself. Some of these systems are made by Tria and Silk’n. Tria is one of the only ones that is approved by the FDA for use in the home. A stamp of approval that should instill confidence. It works just like the professional lasers except that it uses a lower dosage of energy. This requires you to perform more procedures, but still gives the same results over time.
