How is Unwanted Hair Removed?
The presence of unwanted hair on the body parts like hands, feet, face and back can affect a person both psychologically and aesthetically. The causes of unwanted hair growth could be due to the hormonal imbalance in the body, irregular menstrual cycle, usage of certain medications, due to pregnancy and heredity.
Laser hair reduction is a blessing for those suffering from conditions like folliculitis, ingrown hair, Hidradinitis suppurativa, malodorous sweat..etc
There are quite a few options for permanent hair removal and the safest for Indian skin being laser hair reduction using long pulse Nd:YAG or Diode.
Laser light beam is absorbed by the dark color(melanin) of your hair without affecting the surrounding skin.
It usually takes about 6-8 sessions each with a 4-6 week gap for all your hair to get targeted thereby preventing further regrowth. By the end of sessions you achieve permanent reduction in thickness of hair regrown, color of regrown hair, rate of regrowth and marked reduction in number of hair grown thereby giving you a natural look with smooth skin.
Most find visible satisfactory cosmetic results in 6-8 sessions. Maintenance sessions may be required twice or thrice a year depending on your hair growth pattern.
