If you’re tired of shaving and waxing your unwanted body hair each time and need a long-lasting solution, then LASER HAIR REMOVAL is definitely the best option for smooth and silky skin.

We, at Laser Skin Care Clinic Dubai, give you hairless, beautiful skin through laser hair removal. Laser hair removal can provide permanent hair reduction, although it may not completely remove all hair. The degree of permanence varies from person to person. Some individuals may experience pain or discomfort during the treatment.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Generally, a high-intensity light beam is focused on the hair pigment (melanin). The targeted hair absorbs light which heats up and destroys the tube-like structure (hair follicle) that holds the hair within the skin. The hair is temporarily damaged for a period of 3-6 months. The newly grown hair from that area will be much finer and lighter than before.

Laser hair removal has received considerable interest due to its minimal side effects, safety, and effectiveness. Although it delays hair growth and reduces hair count, multiple sessions are needed for permanent hair reduction.

Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?

Painless removal of unwanted hair from your body.
Scientifically proven to cause no serious harm.
A long-term solution for unwanted hair growth.

No surgical damage to the skin.

Advantages of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular procedures for removing unwanted body hair.
The procedure is painless and less time taking as compared to hours of waxing, shaving, and plucking.
Though permanent hair removal is not possible, approximately 80-90% hair reduction can be achieved after multiple treatments using suitable methods and instruments, but the degree of permanence varies from person to person.
After the procedure, ice cooling and cooling gel gives you complete relief from any kind of discomfort, unlike other techniques of hair removal at home.

Which Body Parts Can Be Treated?

How to Prepare Before the Process?

For a successful laser hair removal following precautionary measures are adopted at our Dubai clinic

Detailed examination of the patient’s medical history, underlying skin diseases, drug use, etc.
Informing the patient of any side effects and that the results will be temporary not permanent.
Hormone testing in the patient to detect any hormonal disease or abnormalities.
If the hormonal level is not normal or the patient has any hormonal disease then the treatment might differ and the skin response might not be the same.
Detecting the patient’s skin type and choosing the right instruments and parameters.
The patient should start avoiding sun exposure and use sunscreens for at least a month before the treatment.
Shaving is recommended just before the treatment to avoid any skin damage.
Plucking and waxing must be avoided at least 4 weeks before treatment.
Applying sunscreens before treatment reduces side effects.

What Happens During the Laser Hair Removal Process?

The treatment

Any existing hair on the area is trimmed off because then the laser targets the hair roots better.
You’ll be required to wear goggles to prevent the laser from damaging your eyes.
The doctor will clean your skin from dust or makeup and apply a cooling gel or ice packs to cool your skin.
A topical anesthetic cream is applied one hour before the process to numb the area.
Then the laser device is pressed on the skin to bring hair follicles close enough and block the blood supply temporarily.
The high-wavelength light beam destroys the hair follicles and delays their growth.
This treatment only destroys hairs in their initial stages, so you’ll need further sessions after 4-6 weeks for complete hair removal.

Post-Treatment Care

After the procedure

You may experience mild pain due to the intense light which is treated by cooling.
In case of any severe skin injury (most unlikely), antibiotics are used.
Avoid sunbathing and use sunblock a month before and after the treatment period to avoid any complications.
Skin redness and swelling are normal and heal in a few hours.
If the swelling continues, your doctor may prescribe steroid creams.

Results of Laser Treatment for Hair Removal

The result is hairless beautiful skin with no serious damage. After laser hair removal, the regrowth of hair may vary depending on the individual, and it may not necessarily be finer or lighter. After 2-6 treatments maximum hair loss can be achieved for a long time depending on your skin type and the degree of permanence varies from person to person.

Bacterial infections or prolonged swelling happen in some cases and may be treated by antibiotics and skin cooling.
