What is Laser Hair Removal And How Does It Work?
Let’s go to the basics: what exactly is laser hair removal and how does it work? Light is used to target the pigment in individual hairs in laser hair removal. The light passes through the hair shaft and into the hair follicle.
The heat from the laser damages the hair follicle, making it impossible for a hair to grow from it.
Hair has a distinct development cycle that includes phases of rest, shedding, and growth. Hair that has just been removed and is in the resting phase will not be visible to the technician or laser, therefore it may be necessary to wait until it regrows before removing it.
Laser hair removal usually involves numerous sessions over the course of two to three months for most individuals.
What Makes Laser Hair Removal Special Compared To Other Forms Of Hair Removal Techniques?
Laser hair removal is a specialized procedure for lowering the amount of hair on your body and, in the end, permanently removing undesirable hair. People choose this therapy over others since it is less unpleasant and provides permanent hair removal rather than temporary hair removal like waxing and threading.
Legs, armpits, upper lip, chin, and bikini line are some of the most typical treatment sites for laser hair removal. Unwanted hair, with the exception of the eyelid and surrounding area, may be treated practically everywhere.
The success of laser hair removal is influenced by hair color and skin type. The underlying idea is that the pigment in the hair absorbs light, but not the pigment in the skin. The laser should only harm the hair follicles and not the surrounding skin. As a result, a difference in hair and skin color for example black hair with light skin — produces the finest effects.
When there is minimal difference between hair and skin color, the risk of skin damage is higher, but developments in laser technology have made laser hair removal a viable alternative for persons with darker complexion. Hair colors that don't absorb light efficiently, such as gray, red, blond, and white, are less successful in laser hair removal. Laser therapy methods for light-colored hair, on the other hand, are still being explored.
Laser Hair Removal's Advantages
Laser hair removal is well renowned for its excellent outcomes and ease of application. It has been a popular therapy for men and women in Burnaby due to its effectiveness on the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas.

How to Get Ready for a Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Choose a specialist who is board certified in a speciality such as dermatology or cosmetic surgery who has expertise with laser hair removal on your skin type if you're interested in laser hair removal. Once you’ve made your decision, schedule an appointment with your esthetician to see whether laser hair removal is a viable treatment choice for you.
The expert will most likely do the following procedures:
Examine your medical history, including any medications you've used, any skin diseases or scars you've had, and any previous hair removal treatments that you’ve received.
Discuss the dangers, advantages, and expectations of laser hair removal, as well as what it can and cannot achieve for you.
Take images for before-and-after comparisons and long-term evaluations.
Discuss a treatment plan and associated charges during the session. Typically, laser hair removal is an out-of-pocket payment.
In addition, you will be provided with detailed advice on how to prepare for laser hair removal. These might include the following:
You will be advised to stay out of the sun. Avoid sun exposure before and after therapy as directed. You should also apply a broad-spectrum, SPF30 sunscreen every time you walk outside.
Skin lightening is a process that involves lightening the color of your skin. Any sunless skin lotions that darken your skin should be avoided.
Using alternative hair removal procedures as little as possible. Hair follicle disturbances such as plucking, waxing, and electrolysis should be avoided for at least four weeks before therapy. This is because the laser targets the roots of the hairs, which are removed momentarily by waxing or plucking.
Avoiding the use of blood thinners. Before the treatment, ask your doctor about any medicines you should avoid, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs.
The day before your laser treatment, typically around 24 hours prior, you should shave and trim your hair. It removes hair from above the skin, which may cause burns on the skin's surface, but it leaves the hair shaft intact below the surface.
"Zapping" undesirable hair with laser hair removal isn't the only benefit. It's a medical treatment that requires training and bears certain dangers. You should extensively examine the qualifications of the doctor or technician doing the treatment before undergoing laser hair removal.
Things To Consider Before Laser Hair Removal
When it comes to laser hair removal, there are a few things to consider before going through with the procedure. These contain details about what to anticipate prior to and throughout the treatment.
Just before the treatment, the hair that will be treated will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface. A topical numbing agent is commonly applied 20- 30 minutes before the laser procedure to reduce the sting of the laser pulses. Most of the time, this topical ointment isn't required since the laser is so delicate that it never harms the skin. If you have a poor pain threshold, consult your specialist to make sure you're comfortable during the treatment.
Once you’re ready to start the hair removal treatment, the laser equipment will be calibrated to match the color, thickness, and position of the hair you're having removed.
After laser hair removal, your aesthetician will advise you not to take a hot shower and/or bath or soak in a hot tub, and will also advise you to avoid exercise for 48 hours. For at least one month, you should avoid exposing treatment areas to the sun. These suggestions are meant to lower the chances of discomfort, inflammation, and infection following your treatment.
You will notice a significant decrease in unwanted hair after each laser treatment. After you've finished your entire cycle of treatments, which may vary based on the number and size of treated locations, the hair should be gone for good. You can expect the treated areas to be smooth and stubble-free, and you should be free of the aggravating upkeep that plucking, waxing, and threading entail. Consider how much time and work you'll save as a result of all of these treatments!
Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will The Results Take To Appear?
Hair grows in three stages, and laser treatments must be planned to coincide with the "anagen" growth phase, which happens every 4-6 weeks. Following your consultation with one of our Euro Charm cosmetic experts, a treatment plan depending on the density of the hair to be treated will be devised. To target active hair follicles and produce the optimum outcomes, 6-10 sessions are usually necessary.
Is Hair Removal By Laser Safe?
Yes, Health Canada has cleared our lasers, and they have a great safety profile. Lasers function by specifically targeting dark, coarse hairs while causing no harm to the surrounding skin.
