What is Laser Hair Reduction Treatment?
A cosmetic laser hair reduction procedure targets and annihilates hair follicles utilizing concentrated beams of light. The energy of the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which causes damage to the follicle and prevents future hair growth. Unlike shaving, waxing, or threading, the laser hair reduction process makes your skin much smoother for a longer period.
How Does Laser Hair Reduction Work?
Laser hair reduction treatment involves the following steps:-
- Consultation - The professional examines the skin type, hair color, and goals for the treatment.
- Preparation - The area that is going to be treated is cleaned, and goggles are issued to protect the eyes.
- Application of Laser - A laser application device in a handheld manner directs pulses of laser energy into hair follicles.
- Cooling Device - Many contemporary lasers are fitted with cooling mechanisms to make the treatment process relatively painless.
- Aftercare Treatment - Moisturizing of the treated area, and instructions regarding aftercare.
