Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
There are many benefits to having unwanted hair removed through the use of laser therapy, including:
- Precisely target hair
- Procedure is quick
- Results are permanent or long-lasting
For many patients, laser hair removal is not painful, although some experience minor discomfort, usually described as a rubber band snapping against the skin.
How It Works
The GentleMax Pro uses concentrated laser energy to target pigment within the hair follicle. This energy disrupts future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are recommended to effectively treat hair during its active growth phase.
Hair growth takes place cyclically, in three stages. The most effective laser hair removal occurs during the anagen (full-growth) stage because the hair follicles in this stage are susceptible to laser energy. But, because all hair is not in the same growth stage at one time, several laser treatments, usually between six and eight spaced four to six weeks apart, are necessary. The length of treatment generally depends on the texture of the patient‘s hair and the location.
Procedures are done about 4-6 weeks apart and typically, 6 sessions are required for full optimalization of removal. More or less sessions may be possible depending on skin color/hair color and hair follicle’s strength.
Recovery from Laser Hair Removal
Some redness, soreness, or swelling may occur immediately after laser hair removal, but these effects should subside within a few days. Cold compresses, ice packs, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams may minimize discomfort. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible.
Complications of Laser Hair Removal
The most common complication of laser hair removal is the regrowth of unwanted hair. However, the hair that regrows is usually finer and lighter than before. Your provider can remove any regrowth with additional treatment sessions. Other complications that may arise after laser hair treatment include skin irritation, such as blistering and crusting, changes in pigmentation or texture of the skin, and scarring at the removal site. A qualified provider will ensure your safety and that risks are minimal.
