Is laser armpit hair removal harmful to the body?

Some people now feel that having armpit hair is very inconvenient, especially in the summer when they wear cool clothes. If they are not careful, it may be exposed, which is very embarrassing. Many people know that physical hair removal is harmful to the body, so they choose laser hair removal. In fact, this method of hair removal also has certain hazards. If you choose to go to a regular hospital, it will be better because the technology is better and the harm will be smaller.

What are the dangers of laser hair removal?

1. How often laser hair removal is performed depends on the individual's physical condition. Because everyone has a different growth period, the intervals between laser hair removal treatments should be different. For example, the hair on the head has a relatively short dormant period, so the treatment interval is 1 month.

2. The dormant period of hair on the trunk and limbs is relatively long, so the treatment interval should be 2 months. The growth cycle of body hair determines how often laser hair removal should be performed. When choosing hair removal, you must choose a good hospital, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss.

3. I believe you already know how often laser hair removal should be done. Postoperative care after laser hair removal is also very important. Before treatment, do not pluck hair, do not use depilatory cream, maintain a reasonable diet, and avoid overeating greasy, spicy food, or drinking alcohol. Keep the hair removal area away from direct sunlight 4-7 days before and after hair removal.

4. Laser hair removal is always a relatively simple and quick method of hair removal. Laser hair removal uses a laser hair removal machine to emit a light beam that penetrates the surface of the skin and is eventually absorbed by the hair follicles. Through the selective absorption of laser energy, the hair follicles are destroyed and cannot grow hair again, without damaging the surrounding tissues.

In fact, not everyone is suitable for laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is not suitable for people with scar-prone constitution or photosensitivity; people with particularly dark skin; people who have used other methods such as waxing and patching within six weeks; women who are menstruating or pregnant, as well as people who are too old or too young; and people with infections in the hair removal area.

After laser hair removal, the hair removal area may experience slight redness and swelling, or skin sensitivity and a hot or itchy feeling. If you feel pain, you can apply ice to relieve the pain. Be careful not to use hot water or scrub the hair removal area vigorously.
