Laser Hair removal is an aesthetic treatment that uses a concentrated beam of light, or Laser, to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a pulse of light absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles, damaging the follicles and inhibiting future hair growth.
The procedure commonly removes hair from the face, legs, abdomen, arms, underarms, bikini lines, and other areas. It is a popular alternative to classic hair removal techniques, such as shaving, waxing, and plucking, as it can target hair growth in specific areas.
The procedure is usually performed by a licensed medical professional and can be done in a clinic. The number of sessions required is determined by the individual's hair type and skin color, as well as the location and size of the treatment area. Some people may require multiple treatments to achieve optimal results.
At paramount, we use the latest Candela laser for hair removal. The device emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, causing it to be damaged and inhibiting future hair growth.
During the procedure, the patient will be given eye protection, and the technician will apply a cooling gel or spray to the treatment area to protect the skin and help with any discomfort. The technician will then use the Candela laser to target the unwanted hair, using a handpiece that emits the laser energy.
The pigment absorbs the Laser energy in the hair follicle, which causes the follicle to be damaged and inhibits future hair growth. The Candela laser has a cooling system built into the handpiece, which helps to protect the skin and minimize discomfort during the procedure.
The length of the treatment will depend on the size of the area, but it typically takes between 15 minutes to an hour. To achieve the desired results, multiple treatments may be required, as hair growth occurs in cycles, and the laser can only target hair in the active growth phase. The treatment is generally safe and effective, but there may be some temporary side effects, such as redness, swelling, and mild discomfort.
