Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment method used for long-term reduction or permanent removal of unwanted hair. In this method, a laser device that uses intense light energy is applied to the skin. Laser light penetrates the hair follicles, targets the melanin pigment and creates heat energy. This heat energy causes the hair follicle to be destroyed and prevents hair from growing.

The biggest advantage of laser epilation is that it provides longer-lasting results than other methods. During the treatment, laser light acts on the follicles that are in the hair growth cycle. However, it is not possible to permanently remove all hair with a single session. Several sessions may be required to address the different stages in the hair growth cycle. Session intervals may vary depending on the treatment area and individual factors.

Laser epilation can be used in various areas, for example, it is effective in areas such as the face, underarms, bikini area, legs and back. The procedure is performed by a dermatologist or laser specialist. During treatment, relief can be achieved by using cooling gel or skin cooling devices on the skin. This helps reduce the side effects of laser light on the skin.

Laser hair removal is generally quick and painless. However, some people may experience slight discomfort or a feeling of heat during the procedure. A slight redness or swelling may occur on the skin after the procedure, but these are usually short-term side effects and resolve within a few hours.

The effectiveness of laser epilation may vary from person to person and permanent hair removal cannot be guaranteed. In some people, hair may grow back or grow sparsely. Additionally, laser hair removal may be less effective on people with dark or tanned skin and may require special attention.

It is important to consult a specialist to learn more about laser hair removal and evaluate treatment options for your individual needs. The specialist will determine the most suitable laser epilation treatment plan for you by evaluating your skin type and hair characteristics.
