What professionals can do laser hair removal? Doctors and other health professionals who are cleared by their class council.

Does laser hair removal hurt? Treatment generally does not require cream or injectable anesthesia. On application, the patient feels as if a rubber band hits the skin or a weak pinch. It is a safe, fast and virtually painless method.


What are the advantages of laser hair removal? The main advantage is the superior effectiveness of other hair removal methods in reducing both the number of hair follicles and thickness. The disadvantage is that it is not effective on white hair because the laser requires light absorption by the hair follicle melanin for selective follicle-destructive photothermolysis to occur.

How many sessions are required? The thicker and darker the fur, the faster the result. Initially, a long hair removal occurs, so that after 3 to 6 sessions permanent hair removal begins.

Is there any risk in laser hair removal? After application, the site may become slightly reddened or swollen, regressing within a few days. Rarely, a superficial burn or changes in skin color can occur, both usually transient.

What are the contraindications? Anyone can do laser hair removal as long as they are not tanned. There is no interference with the patient's daily activities. After application, he may return to work, in some cases with a local redness that subsides within hours. Rarely blisters and crusting occur. There are safer appliances on the market for dark skin.

What precautions should be taken after laser hair removal? Treatments with acid-based creams in the shaved region should be discontinued 7 days prior to the start of treatment until the end of sessions. If you are tanned (naturally or artificially), you must also wait at least 30 days for the first laser hair removal session. During treatment, ie between sessions, do not shave with tweezers, hot or cold wax or any other method that pulls the hair out of the roots. Basically, do nothing that could change the color or texture of the skin.

Can the hair come back? Yes. There are cells that are able to transform into any body tissue and produce new hair. Most hair follicles undergo miniaturization if treatment protocols are strictly followed.

If you have any questions about this, consult your dermatologist to find out if you can really get rid of your hair using this technique.
