TO YOU?LASER HAIR REMOVAL
INTRODUCTION
0 1
Don’t worry; you are not the only one. There are many who are not aware of this amazing cosmetic procedure that removes unwanted body and facial hair forever.
Laser hair removal is not new; the aesthetic procedure has a history of more than five decades behind it.
Hair can be removed from most of the body parts, including the face, legs, arms, under-arms, bottom, back, bikini line etc. The procedure is incredibly precise and fast, so even on sensitive parts of the body the laser can zap the hair away in minutes without affecting the skin.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL SOUNDS INTERESTING, RIGHT!

Hair anatomy reveals three layers in hair: the outer cuticle, the mid cortex and the inner medulla. The Cuticle offers strength & flexibility to the hair structure while the innermost part of the hair i.e the medulla is the channel of nutrients. The medul.la is the layer which reacts to hair and aids in de-struction of the hair follicle.
It’s very essential to know about the hair structure before opting for removing it because you can defeat the enemy only when you know it better.

We love hair on the head but not on body. The trend of removing hair has been there since time immemorial. There are a number of reasons for getting unwanted hair removed; it can be to look beautiful, to meet cultural demand, for medical requirements or for religious sentiments.
There are several ways to remove unwanted hair and every method is unique with varied results.
MethodsHAIR REMOVAL
04
Shaving: This is probably the most used and cheapest method of hair removal. However there is risk of irritation, ingrown hairs or razor bumps and the most annoying thing about shaving is that it has to be done every day to keep you hair-free.
Waxing:Waxing is one of the most popular methods of hair removal, as it can be done for large areas like legs, hands, chest, back and bikini. The procedure involves hairs being pulled out from body parts with aid of hot or cold wax. Though the results can last for a month the procedure can be quite pain-ful. Waxing can result in the formation of irritant folliculits wherein red, itchy bumps appear on the affected areas around the hair follicles .These bumps can leave behind unsightly black marks.
Threading:This is an ancient technique of hair removal but the technique can be done only for smaller body parts like eyebrows, upper lip or chin. It is a temporary method which requires mainte-nance every 10 to 15 days and can be painful.

Electrolysis: Electrolysis is a painful way of removing unwanted hair from face and body but the results last longer than other methods. During the procedure, a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle and is then removed with tweezers. This process is ex-tremely painful and each and every follicle needs individual treatment, so the process is quite time-consuming.
Laser Hair Removal: Laser hair removal is a convenient method for permanently reducing or removing unwanted facial or body hair. The pro-cedure is extremely fast and precise and can work on any body part in minutes. .
Hair Removal Creams: This method of hair removal is painless. The creams are made up of chemicals that dissolve the hair at the roots. How-ever, the effects of this is last for 15 to 30 days maximum and the procedure can be quite messy; not to forget hair removal creams can smell bad.
06
Conventional MethodsVS
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is convenient and effective when compared to the conven-tional methods like threading, shaving, waxing, electrolysis or hair removal creams. Every conventional method tends to have some sort of discomfort associat-ed with them; be it pain, cumbersome or not so impressive results. However the most important concern with all the con-ventional methods of hair removal is that they are temporary with results lasting not more than 15-30 days.
07
THE BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL ARE MANY WHEN COMPARED TO THE TRADITION-AL CONVENTIONAL METHODS. SOME OF THEM ARE:
It’s permanent. . Normally, a person would require 6 to 8 sessions of treat-ment to get optimum results. The procedure of hair reduction is virtually pain free.
Candidates undergoing the procedure experience a feel of rubber snapping against the skin. The pain is much less when compared to the likes of waxing and epilators.
Laser hair removal can treat any part of the body that has unwanted hair. The most treated areas are face, legs, bikini, hands, underarms, back, shoulders, chest and abdomen.
The procedure of reducing hair with laser is precise as it can selectively target the hairs leaving the surrounding skin undam-aged. Beard shaping with laser is a perfect example to demonstrate how precise laser is.
Laser hair removal is very fast. The proce-dure can treat large body parts like back and legs in 60 to 90 minutes and smaller areas like upper lips can be treated in 10 to 15 minutes maximum.
08
During the procedure of laser hair removal, a gentle beam of light is focussed on the hair follicle which needs to be removed. The heat generated from the light ensures the follicle is destroyed permanently. The medical term for this is “Selective Photothermolysis”.
It has to be noted that hair grows in several phases (Anagen, Telogen, Catagen) and a laser can only affect the currently active growing hair follicles (early anagen). Hence multiple sessions are required to target hair in all phases of growth in an area.

Associated Costs
The imminent benefits of laser hair removal vs. commonly used methods of hair removal
make this advanced procedure a hot favourite.
Traditional methods of hair removal including procedures like threading, trimming, shav-
ing, and waxing are never ending processes and are characterised by pain, ingrown
hairs, rough and uneven skin tone and expensive in long term. Also not to forget every
traditional method of hair removal can be done for specific body parts only. For eg:
threading can be done for eyebrows, upper chin and forehead only where as waxing can
be done for large body parts like hands, legs, etc.
LHR is a permanent and painless way of removing unwanted hair and can also result in a
soft and supple skin.

Because laser hair removal is such a revolutionary technology with such fabulous benefits, people assume that it must therefore be incredibly expensive. However, you would be surprised to know how cost-effective laser hair removal is when you com-pare it to the traditional methods of hair removal.
For example: A person spends up to Rs. 100 per sitting on underarms waxing and so approx. Rs.200 per month. Since this is a temporary hair removal pro-cedure, one needs to continue this month on month to maintain smooth hair-free underarms. So, 15 years down the line, you would have spent Rs. 36,000 on just underarms waxing and that’s quite a big amount when compared to Rs. 15000 approx., one has to invest in one-time laser hair removal.
All laser hair removal costs mentioned above are approximate costs. The actual cost can only be determined by the size of the area treated, the required number of treat-ment sessions, the color and thickness of the hair, and the client’s skin type.
The average person will need roughly 6-8 treatments to achieve 90% hair reduction.

Does laser hair removal hurt?Most people find the current advanced laser treatments virtually painless and quite comfortable especially when compared to other hair removal methods.
How many treatments will be needed?Most people will require about 6 to 8 treatments; however, the actual number may differ based on the density of hair,hair color, skin color and hormonal status.
Why are 6-8 treatments needed?Hair grows in several phases (Anagen, Catagen & Telogen) and a laser can only affect the currently active growing hair follicles (Anagen). Hence, several treatments are required to target hair in all phases of growth.
16
When will I start seeing the results?Most people would see a noticeable difference after their first treatment though it is advisable to wait until the third treatment.
What is the time gap between treatments?A time interval of 6-8 weeks is usually needed between treatments to let the dormant hair re-grow. These hairs can then be targeted by the lasers.

Is there any downtime following laser hair re-moval session?There is no recovery or downtime. Clients can return to their normal activ-ities immediately after the treatment.
