Laser hair removal has proven to be a popular cosmetic procedure, particularly laser facial hair removal. Women and men can take advantage of this procedure to treat unwanted hair on virtually any places. With new technologies constantly evolving we can direct you towards practices that will utilize aesthetic lasers for your treatment. People elect this procedure because it has proven to be safe, gentle and effective. You may also return home or to work immediately after your treatment. Laser hair removal, including laser facial hair removal is not considered to be a surgery it's usually performed at a surgical facility, or surgeon's office and it could last from 15 minutes to one hour.
Your surgeon will use a laser. The laser passes harmlessly through the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle. This action disables the hair follicle and reduces its ability to grow new hair. Lasers used in this procedure are designed to act on hair follicles only, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed and safe enough for laser facial hair removal procedures. The pulses produced by the laser create a minor burning or stinging sensation that most patients can tolerate without anesthetic. Your treated area may be slightly pink, red or swollen, producing the feeling of mild sunburn for a day or two, but this will disappear in a short time. You surgeon may provide you with an antibiotic ointment that will quickly reduce these symptoms. To have a permanent hair loss maybe a few treatments will be needed; this will also be dependent on the type of aesthetic laser used throughout your treatment, as the varying aesthetic laser used will have varying results.
