Effortless Beauty, Lasting Results – Laser Hair Removal at New Touch!
A laser is an intensive light beam, a source of high energy. Laser hair removal works to reduce unwanted hair by focusing that intense light on the hair follicles, without damaging the skin in the treatment area. The pigment in the hair absorbs the laser energy, converts it into heat which then damages the hair follicle, preventing regrowth.
Generally, because the laser is attracted to pigment it works well on dark hair, especially if there is a contrast between your dark hair and your skin colour. If your unwanted hair is dark it can be good to have your laser hair removal work done when your skin is the lightest, such as during winter months.
Subsequent sessions are scheduled when the hair begins to regrow. The timing for this can range from four to eight weeks, depending on hair type and the part of the body being treated.
The average number of visits necessary to see permanent hair reduction is 6 to 8, but some people respond well in 2 to 4 sessions.
Laser hair removal requires multiple treatments. This is because the laser works best when hairs are in an early growth stage (referred to as anagen), and all the hair are not in this phase at the same time.
When the procedure is completed, you may be given ice packs, anti-inflammatory creams or lotions to ease any discomfort.
For the laser to work effectively you should not wax between sessions, as the laser needs to locate the hair follicle to work. You can safely shave the area, however.
You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Remember to use moisturisers and sunscreen.
