Laser Hair Removal Q & A
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal involves using laser light to target unwanted body hair. Pigment in your hair follicles absorbs the laser energy, so surrounding skin and tissues aren’t affected. Once hair follicles absorb the laser’s heat energy, their growth process halts as follicles are vaporized.
While treated hair is destroyed on the spot, it doesn’t all fall out right away. Your skin naturally sheds the destroyed hair on its own, which can take up to three weeks. That's why it’s important to gently exfoliate your skin to help draw out loose hair each time you shower.
With each passing day, you should notice less hair growth in the treated area.
Am I a candidate for laser hair removal?
Years ago, laser hair removal was only effective if you had light skin and dark hair. But with advancements in laser technology, treatments are now effective for almost everyone. The team at Medical Cosmetics of Connecticut use the GentleLase™ laser made by Syneron Candela®.
This state-of-the-art laser hair removal uses 755nm Alexandrite laser energy and works for men and women who have:
- Tanned skin
- Naturally darker skin tones
- Lighter hair colors
- Finer hair textures
When you come into the clinic for your consultation, Dr. Chatterjee can let you know how effective laser hair removal treatments are likely to be for your specific needs.
Do I need more than one laser hair removal treatment?
Probably. Each patient responds differently to laser treatments, depending on your hair color and texture, as well as your skin tone. Most laser hair removal clients need at least three or four treatments before they start noticing a dramatic difference in hair growth.
To achieve your optimal results and get the smoother skin you want, you could need up to six or eight treatments or more. Because treatments are quick and virtually painless, you can easily schedule them during your lunch break. You should find out about how many treatments you’re going to need when you have your consultation.
