Laser hair removal is the only hair removal treatment that gives long term results. Lasers can be used on any part of the body to remove the hair. If you are planning to have laser hair removal treatment, here are a few things you should know:
The process of laser hair removal treatment
A gel is applied to the area that is to be treated to make it cool and prepare it for laser treatment. A laser beam is then directed on your skin that works on the hair follicles. The hair strands do not fall out immediately but you will notice the hair fall in a few days, leading to clear and smooth skin.
Consult a doctor
You should consult a doctor before taking any decision regarding the treatment. Every individual’s skin type is different. Many a time, you do not know if you have skin problems. Consulting a doctor will ensure the procedure is appropriate for you.
Things to consider before laser treatment
Make sure that you do not apply any lotion or cream on the area that has to be treated. Use of other cosmetics should also be strictly avoided. These cosmetics cause hindrance in the treatment. It can also result in skin allergies and infections.
What to expect after laser hair removal treatment
You might need to opt for the treatment again after six months or a year, depending on the growth of hair. A minimum of three and a maximum of eight sessions are needed to remove these hair strands completely.
