How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of light passed through the skin to the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle and prevents it from producing new hair.
You will need a series of treatment and particular maintenance procedures before you get rid of all unwanted hairs. Although the process can be conducted on all skin types, laser hair removal is most effective on dark hairs.
How should I Prepare for Laser Hair Removal?
If you feel your body hair limits your confidence, it's high time you get rid of them. But, you need to understand the procedures before you make your decision.
However, there are general guidelines to follow before laser hair removal:
Stay out of the sun. You need to stay away from direct sunlight two weeks before the procedure.
Shave your treatment areas. You need to shave the treatment areas 24 hours before treatment. Long hairs can cause skin irritation during laser hair treatment.
Avoid waxing or plucking. Waxing and plucking can remove the hair root making the treatment ineffective.
Don't use skin makeup. If you must apply your makeup before treatment, your doctor can advise you on what to use.
What to Expect During Treatment
You must wear specially designed goggles to protect your eyes during the treatment. The medical asethetician will clean the area being treated.
When the asethetician triggers the laser, you may feel sensitivity in some parts of the skin. Some patients experience sunburn-like sting, but this is normal. Holding an ice pack on the treatment part can reduce sensitivity.
After Care
Immediately after your treatment there likely will be some slight redness, swelling around the hair follicles and mild discomfort similar to a sunburn. Make sure to use SPF daily or avoid sun on the area for 1 week prior to treatment. Avoid the following:
No deodorant 24 hrs
Do not rub, or pick the treated area
No exfoliating for 1 week
Avoid hot tubs for 48 hrs
What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

You can save money in the long run. Although laser hair removal can be more expensive than shaving and waxing, it can help you save money in the long run. You don't have to schedule routine shaving and waxing with laser hair treatment.
Laser hair removal can save time. How much time do you spend on shaving every time? It can take an extra ten to fifteen minutes in the shower. But, with laser hair removal, you no longer have to waste time making appointments for hair waxing.
