Number of sessions required in Laser treatment:
Normally, it takes around 5 to 8 sessions for the complete treatment. However the number of sessions is also dependent on certain factors such as the areas to be treated, type of hair, skin color and tone and sex of the person.
Expectation from Laser Hair Removal treatment:
In case of a Laser hair removal in Delhi, after the completion of the treatment, one shall experience redness and slight stinging sensation, which goes away within four hours, post treatment. After few days, discoloration and mottled skin can be noticed. This will however get resolved with time. Blistering or crusting is normal for coarse and thick hair areas. This shall also recover within few days.
The treatment will not remove hair permanently therefore one must expect to notice few hairs on skin. Laser technique kills the hair roots and eventually reduces growth of new hair to almost zero after some time. One must give time and patience to witness the desirable results.
After care maintenance:
The follow up treatments for Laser hair removal are essential to kill hairs that were dormant during the actual treatment sessions. Generally, the after treatment session varies between one to four times. This is again dependent on the areas being treated. One must not pluck or wax after the treatment as lasers will be unable to detect hair roots present in the waxed area.
Suitable candidates for the treatment:
An ideal candidate for the treatment would be someone with light skin and dark hairs. Also, anyone having hair pigmentation is suitable for laser treatment. However, hairs around the eyes cannot be treated through lasers. Almost, everyone is eligible for this treatment.
Duration of the treatment:
Typically, a laser hair removal treatment is of 45 minutes to 1 hour duration. The time taken for a session is different for different parts to be treated.
Is the treatment painful?
There is slight discomfort during the treatments when laser beam reaches the deepest regions of hair roots and works from within. Some laser centre offers numbing cream that causes relief. At the same time, one must not apply these creams over a larger area at one time.
Side-effects of the treatment:
Acne and discoloration are two major side-effects, which erodes within three days after the treatment. Some other side-effects include itching sensation, pink skin, and redness of skin and swelling, which also recovers with time.
Re-occurrence of problem and solution:
Hairs have a growth cycle. Therefore there might be some hairs which are dormant at the time of treatment. When time comes for these hairs to be active, they grow naturally. To avoid re - occurrence, one must go for follow-up treatments where lasers will detect active hair follicles and kill hair roots. One must never opt for waxing as hairs are sure to come up again, after a period of time.
