Laser Hair reduction - Dr.Hina Khan
Laser Hair Reduction:
Diode laser hair reduction is a cosmetic procedure that uses a specific type of laser, known as a diode laser, to target and reduce unwanted body or facial hair. The diode laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is selectively absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This absorption of light energy converts to heat, which damages the hair follicles, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth.
How does diode laser hair reduction work?
1. Melanin Absorption: The melanin present in the hair follicles absorbs the laser light. Melanin is the pigment responsible for hair color.
2. Heat Generation: As the melanin absorbs the laser energy, it transforms into heat. This heat damages the hair follicles, particularly the cells responsible for hair growth.
3. Follicle Disruption: The heat generated by the diode laser disrupts the normal functioning of the hair follicles. This can lead to a delay in hair growth or, in some cases, permanent hair reduction.
4. Selective Targeting: One of the advantages of diode lasers is their ability to selectively target dark, coarse hair while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. This makes diode lasers suitable for individuals with lighter skin tones and darker hair.
How many sessions are required for laser hair reduction? Multiple Sessions: Achieving optimal results typically requires multiple treatment sessions. Hair grows in different phases (anagen, catagen, and telogen), and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase (anagen). Since not all hair follicles are in the same phase at the same time, multiple sessions spaced over several weeks are necessary to target hair in various growth stages.
Is laser hair reduction treatment painful? Minimal Discomfort: Diode laser hair reduction is generally well-tolerated, and many systems incorporate cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
What is the aftercare post-laser hair reduction? Post-care after laser hair reduction is crucial to ensure optimal results and minimize potential
side effects. Here are some general guidelines for post-care after laser hair reduction:
1. Avoid Sun Exposure:
∙Stay out of direct sunlight for a few days after the treatment.
∙Use sunscreen with a high SPF on the treated area if sun exposure is unavoidable.
2. Gentle Cleansing:
∙Cleanse the treated area gently with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
∙Avoid hot water and harsh soaps for the first 24-48 hours.
3. Avoid Scrubbing or Exfoliating:
∙Refrain from using abrasive scrubs or exfoliants on the treated area for a few
days.
4. Avoid Heat:
∙Avoid hot baths, saunas, and hot tubs for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
5. Avoid Irritating Products:
∙Avoid using products that may irritate the skin, such as perfumes, fragrances, and alcohol-based products.
6. Moisturize:
∙Keep the treated area well-moisturized with a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer.
∙Aloe vera gel can be soothing if there is any redness or irritation.
7. Avoid Tight Clothing:
∙Wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid friction and irritation on the treated area.
8. Skip Intense Physical Activity:
∙Avoid intense physical activities, such as heavy workouts, for the first 24-48 hours.
9. Do Not Pluck or Wax:
∙Do not pluck, wax, or use any other hair removal methods that involve pulling out the hair from the follicle. Shaving is usually allowed.
10. Use Cool Compresses:
∙If there is any discomfort or redness, you can apply cool compresses to soothe the area.
11. Attend Follow-Up Appointments:
∙Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to assess the progress and address any concerns.
