What is Laser hair removal and how does it work?
Wavelength effectively penetrates deep into and absorbed by the target melanin. The adequate pulse duration, energy density and epidermal cooling ensure an adequate dermal damage to the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding. This is used as a non-invasive treatment for unwanted hair and many skin disorders.
Potential Complications
Unfortunately there are potential complications with Laser treatments, which include:
- Prolonged redness and swelling lasting up to 4 days may occur.
- Darker patches of pigment on the skin may occur a couple of weeks after treatment. This can last from 2 weeks up to 1 year. However there is a special cream we can use to reduce the pigment. You are more at risk of this occurring if you have a darker skin type. (this is not the immediate darkening of pigment we expect when treating pigmentation).
- Whiter patches on the skin may occur. This can last 2 weeks up to 1 year it also has the potential to be permanent. You are more at risk of this happening if you have a darker skin type.
- Blistering rarely occurs and will usually settle within 2 hours with application of ice. If you do get a blister, it is important that you don’t pick it as it may leave a scar.
How will my skin react after the Laser treatment?
- Most patients will experience a sunburn-like sensation that lasts 2 to 5 hours and is often associated with mild to moderate redness. The treated area is generally sensitive to heat for 2 days following treatment.
- After hair removal the skin may appear spotty – This is inflammation caused from the heat absorbed in the hair follicle and can last 2 to 24 hours.
- After treatment of pigmented lesions the lesion will go darker, sometimes almost black, then will fall off within 7 to 28 days (depending on the area of the body) or will just gradually fade.
Pre and Post treatment recommendations:
Pre treatment
- Discontinue sun exposure 4 weeks prior to your treatment.
- Do not use fake tan 1-2 weeks prior to your treatment.
- Use an SPF 30 daily.
-If having Laser hair removal, do not wax, tweeze or pluck the hair for 4 weeks prior to your treatment.
- Shaving or depilatory creams are fine and you will need to shave the treatment site before your Laser session.
- If you have a history of herpes close to the area being treated, it is recommended that you take antiviral medication before the treatment. (This is available from the chemist).
Post treatment
- A sunburn-like sensation is expected for about 2-5 hours after the treatment. If this is uncomfortable apply cold compresses or ice to the treated area.
- Your skin may be temperature sensitive for the following 2 days, so do not use very hot water for your shower or bath.
- Please protect your skin from the sun!
- Do not exfoliate the skin for 1 week after the treatment.
- Your skin may be more sensitive to certain skin care products so please use the products provided to you.
- Do not pick blisters or skin crusting as this may lead to a scar!
What to expect after Laser Hair Removal
- The hair will appear to grow (though very slowly) for 2 to 4 weeks and should then fall out; this is the treated hair being pushed out of the follicle, not new growth.
- After the hair falls out you should have a hair free period for approximately 3 to 6 weeks.
- New growth will appear, though there will be a certain percentage of hairs that don’t grow back. This percentage will increase with each session.
- Between treatments, growth can be shaved but not waxed or tweezed.
Expected Hair Reduction results
Hair grows in 3 phases. Laser can only treat the hair within one of these phases called anagen. This is when the hair is growing and there are actively dividing cells in the hair follicle.
At any given time, there is only a certain percentage of hair in anagen. This is why Laser must be performed over a number of sessions with a certain time span between treatments to achieve the best results. However, we can only achieve approximately 70% to 90% hair reduction, no Laser system can achieve 100% hair removal, what is remaining is generally lighter and finer.
The number of sessions required depends on your hair and skin colour and how your body responds to the treatments.
