Can laser really remove hair?

I believe that in summer many women will be troubled by the thick and dense hair on their bodies, which prevents us from wearing many nice clothes, such as suspender skirts, shorts, etc., and it is also very indecent. So, for many women, hair removal is imperative. Laser hair removal has become popular recently. Can laser hair removal really help us remove thick hair and restore our beautiful image? Today, the editor will give you some scientific knowledge.

Many factors affect the final effect of laser hair removal, including the number of laser hair removal treatments, the time interval between treatments, the energy during treatment, and individual differences in the body. Generally speaking, the more times you have treatments, the more likely you are to achieve permanent hair removal. If you have too few treatments, the effects will be temporary.

Therefore, the effect of permanent hair removal is relative rather than absolute, and you should not be too picky. Generally speaking, to achieve the purpose of hair removal, a course of 6 treatments is necessary, and the treatments must be carried out strictly according to the intervals told by the doctor. The treatment time cannot be too long, otherwise the treatment will easily fail.

What are the side effects after laser hair removal?

1. Erythema: There may be light erythema in the irradiated area, which usually disappears naturally after a few days;

2. Peeling: After treatment, some people develop thin brown scabs on the local skin, which will fall off naturally in about a week;

3. Pigmentation: A small number of people may develop light brown spots after treatment. This is a reaction of the skin to laser treatment. Since it only occurs in a small number of people, it is related to the individual's special physique. If pigmentation occurs, most people will recover after a few months. The 800nm, 100ms semiconductor laser has a longer pulse width than the typical 30ms laser and is equipped with a cooling head, so pigmentation is less likely to occur.

4. Scars: In theory, this selective laser treatment will not cause irreversible scarring of normal tissues around the hair follicles.

It can be seen that this method of hair removal is more effective, and at the same time, it can also shrink our hair follicles. However, the editor recommends that if our body hair is within an acceptable range, it is best not to perform hair removal, because hair is a natural barrier for our body and is very important. Don't lose sight of the big picture and cause physical illness.
