Laser hair removal – is it safe?

How does laser remove hair?

Highly controlled flashes of laser beams are selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair which damages and destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle without damaging surrounding tissue. Hair follicles are usually in different growth cycles different times in relation to one another. Since the hair follicles must be in active growth in order to be affected by the laser, several treatments spread over several months are required to assure the destruction of all hair follicles.

The laser light is completely safe. However some cases there can be hyper pigmentation, hypo pigmentation or superficial burns which all are temporary and becomes normal at later date.

Laser safety

The following steps should be adhered to:

EYE PROTECTION – All persons in operating room must wear safety euewear. Light from the laser can cause severe corneal and retinal damage to the unprotected eye. Eyewear must have side shields and be worn over prescription glasses.

REFLECTION – Laser light is easily reflected and care must be taken to ensure the beam is not directed toward shiny surfaces.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD – The interior of the laser machine contain high voltage and exposed invisible laser radiation. Only technicians trained in electrical and laser safety are authorized to perform internal maintenance.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hairremoval may be an option worth considering. Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the hair.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas.

Benefits of laser hair removal include:

Precision. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

Speed. Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour.

Testimonials

" My daughter was having excessive hair growth on her face. I had done complete investigations to find out the cause for hair growth and all the tests were normal. So I studied different options to remove it. Temporary hair removal like plucking and waxing will stimulate the hair root and make it thicker and stout. Then I decided to go for permanent hair removal like Laser and Electrolysis. As electrolysis is more painful and chances of scaring is more I opted Laser hair removal which do not have any side effects. Of the different laser hair removal machines I found Nd YAG laser machines are good for Indian skins. Then I searched who is the good Clinic doing these jobs and decided to approach Almeka Medical Centre. for the same and I am happy with the results."

" I was having excessive hair growth in my face. Last ten years, I was suffering severely and I used plucking for hair removal. But it was not a permanent solution. I consulted a laser centre and unfortunately that increased my hair growth. I searched for a permanent solution, and last year I consulted at Almeka Medical Centre. After few sittings I am very happy with the result and thanks to Almeka
