Laser Hair Removal

laser-hair-removal

Excess hair growth is caused by heredity, hormonal factors, some medications and, rarely, by other causes. The Photoderm is being used for laser hair removal from various parts of the body. It uses the pigment in the hair to absorb energy from the laser and destroy the hair follicle. It works best on dark hair on people with light skin. The most commonly treated areas are the face and bikini-line. The neck, arms, back, underarms and other areas can be treated too. The beard area (after a face-lift or for folliculitis) the bikini line and underarm are the best locations for treatment. Multiple treatments are necessary because hair grows in cycles. Results would indicate that the treatment effects are very long lasting, at least 6 months, and in some it may be permanent.

PhotoDerm HR® damages or destroys the hair follicles with an intense pulsed light source similar to a laser. Each pulse produces a high energy flash of light that passes through normal skin, is absorbed by the pigmented follicle bulb, converted into heat, and destroys the follicle. Lightly pigmented, untanned skin absorbs little of the light energy and is not damaged by the treatment. Optimal improvement usually takes 3 to 6 treatments, each spaced 1 to 3 months apart. Hair which regrows (usually more sparse – see below) can then be treated every six months if necessary.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal:
  • Laser Hair Removal is an ongoing process that may require multiple sessions.
  • Leaves skin looking smoother and silkier.
  • Treats larger areas effectively because it removes more than one hair at a time.
  • Minimal discomfort.
  • Eliminates the need for waxing, electrolysis and razors.
  • No ‘down time’; Immediately return to normal activities.
Considerations for Laser Hair Removal :
  • Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive, gentle technique that eliminates undesirable hair from all parts of the body.
  • In some cases there is a temporary slight reddening of the skin or localized swelling.
  • Your doctor may recommend using specially formulated skin care products, and/or a prescribed skin care regimen. Sunscreen is recommended to protect treated areas from sun exposure.
  • Patients with darker pigmentation may not respond well.
  • Eliminates the need for waxing, electrolysis and razors.
  • Lighter color hairs such as blonde, white or gray are less responsive to laser treatments and sometimes cannot be treated.
