Laser Hair Removal - What All Should You Know?

The place near the eyes, including eyebrows, upper cheeks, and temple must be avoided during laser hair treatment. It is because there is a risk of eye damage from the laser beam. Therefore, these parts must only be waxed or tweezed for the entire life.

When laser light passes through the skin, it gets converted into heat, which is absorbed by the dark pigment of the hair follicle known as melanin. Heat damages the hair follicle and thus inhibits the growth of hair in the future.

You must wear sunblock products such as sunscreen with SPF more than 30 because your skin will remain sensitive after this procedure and therefore, it is important to protect it from sunlight. Hot water shower should be avoided. Instead, use lukewarm showers for the first week. Perfumes and deodorants should not be used for 24 to 48 hours after your laser hair treatment session. The laser beam treated hair must fall out on their own, so do not pluck or wax the leftover hair after treatment.

You cannot make a single appointment for the full body laser hair removal treatment. This is because your body can safely tolerate only a certain amount of cosmetic laser beam and heat during any session.
