Imagine you shaved for weeks and your legs are as smooth as months ago- no razor bump or ingrown hair. You no more have to worry about prickly, embarrassing hair while with your partner.
Pretty interesting, right?
Turn the above fantasy into a reality with laser treatment for hair removal. Make shaving a thing of your past and welcome a soft, buttery, and silkiest skin!
This treatment is a popular choice among millions for the effective removal of hair. As many know, it works by concentrating the light energy (laser) to be absorbed by melanin on the skin. Further, the light energy gets converted into heat energy that destroys the hair follicles on the skin, resulting in prevented or delayed hair growth.
New to this treatment? Here are 5 things to know before enrolling yourself in the treatment.
5 Things to Know Before Laser Hair Removal
Shave Before Treatment
You might want to wax off or pluck your hair to prepare for laser treatment- but it is a big No! However, shaving with the help of a razor on the body parts to be treated is a good idea. Waxing and plucking hair hinder laser treatment. Whereas razor-shaving complements the process and produces significant results.
Opt for Multiple Sessions for Better Results
Like every individual, every hair is unique, with a different granular structure. And, hair removal treatment works best with darker skin tones and hair. Note that only 80% of the follicles get destroyed during sessions. Thus, you’d require multiple sessions if you are on the lighter side of the skin tone spectrum.
Avoid Applying Products on Skin
Keep your lotions and other cosmetic products away from the skin on the day of the treatment. Make sure the area to be treated is clean. Why? Because skincare cosmetics seemingly react negatively with the laser beams, resulting in irritation, pigmentation, or worse, skin burns.
Consult About Before & After Treatment Activities
Educate yourself about laser hair removal treatment. Research more about it, talk to your doctor about the pre-treatment and post-treatment aspects to be taken care of. Learn about your skin and the potential side effects it might face. Keep a check on your skin post the treatment to ensure a healthy recovery from the sessions.
Avoid Sun Exposure
As annoying as it sounds, when undergoing such hair removal treatment, it is best to stay away from the Sun. Hair acts as a barrier to protect the skin from direct radiation. However, hair removal treatment leaves your skin vulnerable to the damaging rays of the sun. Thus, be mindful to use sunscreen to safeguard your skin when you step out in the Sun.
Final Thoughts
With all being said, the treatment might sound intimidating! But, it is a safe and effective approach to sway away from shaving creams, razors, and consequent nicks and cuts on the body. Consider it to be a permanent get-away and investment for long-term results.
