Getting smooth skin has its benefits, and nowadays, people are opting for permanent solutions to get rid of the body and facial hair. However, a lot of confusion persists related to hair removal procedures, including laser such as how permanent it is, whether it has any side effects, or how much it costs. With so much hype about the laser hair removal procedure, let’s understand why it has etched a mark as the safest and the most effective method to say goodbye to unwanted hair.
How does laser hair removal work?
If you wish to get rid of unwanted hair, you might visit a dermatologist and seek advice before proceeding with the laser hair removal procedure. Firstly, the derma expert examines the skin type, texture, and volume of hair, any medical history with skin issues, skin sensitivity, etc. Once the dermatologist is convinced that there is no skin issue, you can proceed with laser hair removal in alternate sessions. During these sessions, the derma expert uses laser beams concentrated by a handheld device on the concerned area.
The laser light gets absorbed by the skin and produces heat energy, which targets the hair follicles and destroys them. Now, since the hair follicles are damaged, no new hair growth will occur if you continue laser hair removal sessions more than once.
Is Laser treatment expensive?
It is a prevailing thought that laser hair removal treatment is a costly affair. But in India, laser hair removal and other permanent hair removal treatments can be easily availed at a reasonable price.
The price range can change concerning the type of medical facility, the dermatologist’s experience, the number of sessions, etc. Considering all these possibilities, here is the list of price ranges for laser hair removal treatment of different body parts.
- Full Face Laser Hair Removal – INR 10,000-15,000
- Underarms Hair Removal – INR 6,000-10,000
- Bikini Area – INR 8,000-10,000
- Upper Body – 15,000-20,000
- Half Legs – 8,000-12,000
- Full Body – 30,000-45,000
It doesn’t work for everyone.
Laser hair removal suits every skin type, tone, and complexion, which means it is a safer way to remove those unwanted hairs on your body and face. Although laser hair removal is useful for almost everyone, some people should avoid this procedure. Below are the conditions in which laser hair removal reduction in Delhi should be avoided.
- Check whether you have thick or thin hair since laser hair removal works better with people who have thicker hair.
- More sensitive to pigmentation
- If you have complaints of skin conditions that make them photosensitive
- Pregnant women, specifically, should avoid laser hair removal to prevent any effects of chemicals and laser beams on the fetus.
- Only particular body areas can receive laser hair removal treatment. Also, the eye region should be avoided because if a laser beam falls on the eyes, there might be severe repercussions.
People with darker skin can respond well to laser hair removal.
Nowadays, lasers are available for dark, wheatish, and fairer skin tones. There was no specific laser hair removal technique for dark-skinned people for some time in the past. However, as medical science and technology progressed, laser hair removal, which is safer for medium to dark-toned people, became available. Two of these laser hair removal techniques -YAG and diode- are beneficial for people with darker skin or who have recently undergone pigmentation due to sun exposure.
Specific laser hair removal procedures are available for people with darker skin tones because they are prone to certain risks. When subjected to laser hair removal treatment, people with dark skin can get hyperpigmentation or dark patches on their bodies, thereby causing uneven coloration on the skin.
If you are opting for a laser hair removal procedure, talk with the dermatologist to ensure that they will be doing a patch test before and they will be using laser treatment specific to dark skin.
Laser hair removal is not always permanent.
Indeed, laser hair removal is not permanent. However, depending on the growth and how well your hair follicles react to laser hair removal, the new hair growth process will be delayed.
