Everything you need to know about laser hair removal

Permanent laser hair removal emerges as a permanent solution to effectively eliminate a large part of undesirable body hair. This method, less painful than waxing or electrolysis, offers smooth and soft skin, while allowing long-term time and money savings.

How laser hair removal works

Laser hair removal devices emit pulses of infrared radiation, absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles. The heat produced destroys the follicles, stopping hair production. Given the hair growth cycles, several sessions are necessary for permanent results.

Beneficiaries of laser hair removal

Both men and women can benefit from permanent laser hair removal. However, individuals with very light hair may require more sessions. Laser technology responds better to darker hair on fair skin. Dark skin is not recommended, as current technology does not effectively treat melanin-rich skin.

Procedure for a laser hair removal session

Prior to the session, the patient must shave the areas to be treated. The esthetician disinfects the skin, evaluates its compatibility with the treatment, and adjusts the laser power using the Skintel melanin reader. The treatment, often painless, requires the use of protective eyewear. Normal activities can be resumed quickly.

Treatable areas

Permanent laser hair removal is applicable to many areas of the body, such as the face, neck, underarms, back, chest, arms, hands, bikini area, legs, and feet.

For optimal results, several factors influence, such as the skill of the professional, laser settings, pulse duration, number of sessions, and the interval between them.
