Is Laser Hair Removal better than waxing?
Permanence: Laser hair removal aims to reduce hair growth permanently (unless there are hormonal changes in the future, for example pregnancy, menopause, medication). After several sessions, most people experience a significant reduction in hair growth, and any hair that does grow back may be finer and lighter in color. On the other hand, waxing provides temporary results, and hair usually grows back within a few weeks.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
Laser hair removal is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced professional. The procedure involves using a concentrated beam of light (laser) to target and destroy hair follicles, thereby reducing hair growth. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects.
Do ingrown hairs go away?
Yes, ingrown hairs often go away on their own over time. However, they may cause discomfort, redness, and swelling in the meantime. If an ingrown hair becomes infected, it might turn into a painful, boil-like sore.
Here are some steps you can take to help an ingrown hair heal:
Why it is important to top-up your laser hair removal sessions.
Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles, which absorbs the light energy from the laser and converts it into heat. This heat then damages the hair follicles, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth. However, the process isn't 100% effective on all hairs during one session due to the hair growth cycle.
What is folliculitis?
Folliculitis can occur before or after laser hair removal when the follicles become inflamed, infected or damaged. There could be many reasons why this could occur. Some of the most common reasons is shaving before treatment, if the razor is old or was kept in a damp or wet area for example the shower or bathroom, the blades become rusty (not visible to the eye) and carry bacteria which leads to an infection of the follicles.
Can you have laser hair removal when pregnant?
Laser hair removal is safe and there is no clinical evidence that laser hair removal can affect babies. But there is no long term studies that analyse the effects of laser hair removal on unborn children. So currently no reputable clinic will perform laser hair removal on pregnant women.
