Laser hair removal

Most men and women alike seek laser hair removal in various areas of the body, such as:

• Chest
• noon
• legs
• thighs
• underarm
• face
• neck
• upper thighs

Laser hair removal technology relies on targeting melanin cells, which leads to the disintegration of hair follicles. The light energy emitted by the laser device penetrates the layers of the skin, and the melanin surrounding the hair follicles absorbs this energy, causing the temperature of the hair follicles to rise, leading to the destruction of the hair follicle. Delayed growth of new hair in the area exposed to radiation.

It is important to know that laser treatment does not guarantee that hair growth will stop completely, but it helps to significantly reduce the amount of hair that grows. Thus, the laser contributes to reducing 70% to 80% of body hair, and making the new follicles thinner and less pigmented., It is important to know that laser hair removal It may be painful and some numbing creams are used.

Is laser used for all skin and hair types?

Laser hair removal is used for all skin and hair types except white hair, as laser devices will not be able to remove white hair.

This is because the hair removal laser targets The dark substance in the follicles cannot work on white hair because it lacks the necessary pigment, and laser hair removal techniques have almost no effect on white hair.

Laser hair removal is most effective for people with fair skin and dark hair, but it can produce successful results for all skin types. The risk of skin damage may be greater when there is a slight contrast between hair and skin color.

However, laser hair removal is less effective for hair colors that do not absorb light well, such as gray, red, blonde, and white. This is because people with blonde, white, gray, and red hair have less melanin in their hair, so it is likely to absorb less heat, and the procedure is not effective. However, there is ongoing development of laser treatment options for light-colored hair. 

Tips before laser hair removal

At Novello Clinic, we ensure that a preliminary consultation is conducted with a physician before beginning laser hair removal. The dermatologist agrees with the patient on the areas to be treated based on skin type and color, and hair color and thickness.

In addition to the individual's wishes, the doctor must ensure that there are no reasons preventing the individual from undergoing laser treatment, such as taking certain medications, such as acne medications.

Sometimes, some tests are performed, such as blood tests to check hormone levels in the blood to ensure that hair growth is not the result of an increase in hormone levels.

It is also recommended to shave the area to be treated approximately 24 hours before the laser session to remove the hair on the surface of the skin, which in turn reduces the risk of skin burns.

Steps for laser hair removal

Laser hair removal involves several steps, which are as follows:

• The skin is covered with a local anesthetic ointment, especially in sensitive areas such as the armpits, upper thighs, face, back, and chest.
• The laser device is passed over the skin surface in the desired area, causing damage to the hair follicles as a result of the heat they acquire from the rays.
