Laser hair removal is incredibly popular among those wanting a more permanent solution than other methods. Using lasers to eliminate unwanted hair works by disrupting the hair growth cycle of the follicles. Once this cycle is interrupted, the follicles do not grow any more hairs and the hair falls out in due time. This can be a long process that takes several treatments, or you may only have to go to see a specialist for a few sessions to get rid of the problem completely.

The most common type of laser hair removal used today involves the employment of an electric pulse device. The pulse is made of a low-energy beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin found in the target skin area. The melanin is what gives skin its color, so the light that passes through it will damage it to the point where it becomes white. This type of procedure generally requires a cooling device. This device allows the lasers to pass through the skin without making any contact with it.

The treatment will continue until the targeted hairs are completely destroyed. This is generally found to be about one to two hours after the initial application. The procedure may also be extended to cover other areas of the body if the patient prefers. Areas that are particularly troublesome to unwanted hairs include the legs, underarms, chest, arms, buttocks, and cheeks. Some patients, however, find that the darker the skin, the longer the laser hair removal process takes to work.

Because this process is considered to be cosmetic, it is not covered by most insurance plans. If you are on a budget, however, it is still possible to get laser hair removal treatments. Your dermatologist should be able to help you find a suitable doctor who can perform the treatments on a reasonable price. Whether or not you have insurance, however, you should only schedule an appointment with your doctor if you are truly set on the procedure.

During the initial sessions, patients are advised to avoid sun exposure. Sunlight has been shown to cause skin irritation, even in non-toxic products, which can lead to more redness and discomfort for the patient after the procedure. This is why it is always a good idea to spend at least three days away from the sun before receiving a laser hair removal treatment. After the laser hair removal procedure, it will take about two weeks for your treated area to be completely healed. During this time, it is important to refrain from skin irritation. You should use a moisturizer to keep the treated area hydrated as well as apply cold compresses periodically. This will help reduce the possibility of scarring. Depending on the doctor's orders, you may need to limit contact with the treated area.

It is important that you follow all of your doctor's advice when it comes to returning for another laser hair removal session. In addition, you will need to stay out of the sun for the first few weeks after your initial procedure. This is to protect your treated skin from the sun's rays and any other damage that may occur. You will also need to apply sunscreen to the treated area at least once a day. Your dermatologist or doctor can guide you in this matter.

The lasers used in laser hair removal are not extremely harmful to most people, but they can be uncomfortable. Patients who have undergone multiple treatments may experience some redness or dryness after the procedure. Skin irritation can be prevented if you follow your doctor's advice. You will also want to research the different <span style="font-weight: 400;">side effects</span> that can occur with these lasers in order to make sure that you are choosing the best option for you.
