Laser hair removal is a painless, fast, and effective medical-grade technique for permanently eliminating unwanted hair from almost all parts of the body. Since 1997, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed laser hair removal to be called “permanent hair reduction” in the United States. In dermatological communities, laser hair removal’s effectiveness and safety are now generally accepted, and it is widely practised in clinics throughout the world.
What exactly is laser hair removal? How does it work?
Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses “photothermolysis” technology, in which a certain wavelength of light is applied to the skin tissue and absorbed by melanin (the pigment that gives colour to our hair and skin) in the hair root, after which it is converted to heat. The follicle is destroyed by the heat, preventing new hair growth from developing. Because the laser can only target hair that is in its active growth phase, a series of 8-10 treatments are necessary to see optimal results. Treatment intervals may differ from 4-8 weeks apart and are determined by the location being treated.
Who is eligible for Brazilian laser hair removal?
It’s safe for almost everyone, including those with sensitive skin and hair of different hues. In a nutshell, as long as your hair has enough colour to absorb the light, you can have laser hair removal. Those with fair skin and dark hair are the best candidates for laser treatment since it doesn’t work on blond, red, grey, or white hairs. Fine hair may not have the same positive effects as thick hair. The better the result will be, the darker and thicker your hair should be.
Brazilian laser hair removal does not only help women; men may also benefit from it. Laser hair reduction is both sanitary and efficient, with long-lasting results.
The Advantages of Brazilian Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal has been the most popular hair removal technique in the last decade, due to its speed and effectiveness. It provides permanent hair reduction effects of up to 70%, with no damage to your skin or surrounding tissue.
Laser hair removal is less unpleasant, much faster, and more cost-effective than other long-term hair reduction procedures such as electrolysis. It also has fewer negative effects.
Waxing, plucking, shaving, depilatory creams, and other types of temporary hair removal can cause skin irritation and ingrown hairs. On the other hand, Brazilian laser hair removal is ideal for treating ingrown hairs because it avoids irritation to the skin.
Due to its effectiveness and long-term benefits, it’s also more time and cost-efficient.
You may also get clean and hair-free skin during treatment sessions since you don’t have to wait for your hair to grow back before getting your next appointment and can shave as often as you like.
Risks of Brazilian Laser Hair Removal
There is no downtime and laser hair removal is a safe procedure for almost all skin types. It’s a walk-in, walk-out treatment that you can resume your regular routine right afterwards. Temporary itching, redness, and swelling around the treatment region or swelling of the hair follicles (follicular edema) are typical occurrences following Brazilian hair removal. Cool compresses and an aloe vera gel may help with the discomfort.
If you have darker skin, the procedure may result in pigment changes such as hyper- or hypo-pigmentation on the treated area.
Is Brazilian laser hair removal painful?
You should not expect to be in any pain during your treatment. The level of discomfort is determined by your skin tone and hair colour, as well as the treatment area. Laser hair removal may be more painful for individuals with darker skin who have more pigments in their skin, which causes light absorption at a higher rate. To lower the discomfort, we use an anaesthetic cream on those with sensitive skin, particularly around the more sensitive areas, to avoid nipping it off too soon.
Are you considering getting Brazilian laser hair removal?
If you’re searching for a long-lasting outcome with fewer drawbacks and want to have beautiful skin all day without getting ingrown hairs, the laser hair removal treatment is the best alternative for you, since after just 8 to 10 treatments, your hair growth will be permanently stopped and only periodic maintenance treatments will be required once or twice a year for those few stubborn hairs that remain.
