For many people in India and around the world, hair removal is part of grooming and hygiene. Most people admit to feeling and looking better being hairless on indifferent parts of the body.
Previously, shaving was the popular method of hair removal. However, over the years, experts and professionals like Dr. Rinky Kapoor in the cosmetic and dermatology fields have come up with many other safer and more effective modern hair removal techniques, including laser hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal Mumbai Explained
As the name suggests, laser hair removal works by targeting a concentrated beam of light on a specific body area to remove hair. The pigment in the hair (called melanin) absorbs the light energy, which is then converted to heat that damages the hair follicle to prevent or delay future hair growth.
Note that the treatment gives long-lasting results, not permanent results. This means even if the hair doesn’t grow for a very long time, it will still eventually start to grow. Multiple sessions may also be needed to achieve the best results.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
There are many benefits you can expect if you get laser hair removal, including:
It is Very Precise
As mentioned above, the laser beam is precisely targeted on a specific area of the body and focuses on the hair right where the beams are targeted. The skin around the treated area won’t be touched or damaged.
To achieve this level of precision, it is important that you only work with a highly skilled and experienced practitioner who understands the procedure, and the expected results.
It is Fast
Unlike waxing and shaving which can take lots of your time in the bathroom, or the salon, even when you have mastered it, laser hair removal is a relatively quick procedure. The treatment is a modern and technologically advanced technique that is designed to remove multiple hairs at a time.
Each round of removal also only takes a fraction of a second, which means if the area you want to remove hair is small, you can easily book an appointment during your lunch break at work to get it done and quickly get back to work in time!
Less Pain
Compared to other hair removal techniques like waxing, laser hair removal treatment is less painful, and many people attest to that. Sometimes you can even slip the blade while shaving and cut yourself, which can be painful and annoying.
Laser hair removal is precise and doesn’t leave room for such mistakes. If it is your first time, you may feel a pinch and probably some discomfort but that’s just about it. Besides, your practitioner will always apply a cooling cream/ gel to soothe the treated area.
Fewer Side Effects
With most hair removal methods, your skin gets irritated, turns red, may be painful, and you may experience ingrown hairs. However, laser hair removal treatment doesn’t have all these side effects.
Some people may experience a burning effect and a little discomfort, especially first-timers but besides that, the procedure barely has any severe or intense side effects.
