Laser hair removal
Many women and men, even around the world, seek to get rid of excess hair in the body for long periods, and many resort to various procedures with temporary results, but the world of cosmetics has developed a lot to include procedures that help get rid of excess hair for a long time or even forever.
At Excellage Clinic, we work to provide various types of laser devices that help remove hair and get rid of it, as laser beams release rays that target hair melanin only, and some devices slow down hair growth, while other devices completely kill the hair bulb.
Factors affecting laser hair removal
Hair color varies from one place to another, just as the thickness of the hair varies from one place to another in the body, and hormones work to change the thickness of the hair in the areas that affect it, so the body’s response to laser hair removal differs, in terms of hair color, skin color, treatment area, device type Laser, skin thickness, and number of sessions.
Risks of laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is relatively safe, especially if the session is done by a skin and laser specialist. However, some factors may play a role in the body’s response to laser, in addition to some possible side effects:
- The skin around the hair can be damaged if there is less contrast between the skin of the body and the hair.
- The use of a high amount of radiation may cause damage to the surrounding skin or burning.
- You should avoid treating the area that contains tattoos as the skin cells will
absorb the laser rays. And it burns - The response of blonde or gray hair to the laser is weak or non-existent.
Things to consider when doing laser hair removal
At Excellage Clinic, we seek to educate all patients about the most important
instructions that must be followed before, during and after the laser session, because many instructions must be taken into account when conducting laser sessions, including:
- Skin irritation is likely to occur after the session, so moisturizers and Panthenol
can be used. - Avoid exposure to the sun, and apply sunblock in the areas that are exposed tothe laser.
- In the event of any skin problems, which are often superficial, they are treated
with conditioners that contain honey.
