Laser hair removal performed by one of our dermatology consultants in Coral Springs is a common cosmetic procedure for eliminating body hair where you don’t want it. Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a process that entails the use of specialized equipment. The laser emits a highly focused beam of light into your hair follicles. The pigment found in the follicles will absorb the light and destroyed the hair. It might appear simple but professional skills are required in performing the procedure.
How does the laser hair removal procedure work?
Once you’ve identified the hair you want removed, it must be trimmed to just a few millimeters above the surface of the skin. Then, the special laser is adjusted to match the hair’s color, thickness, and location, and your skin tone.
Next. you must place special goggles or glasses over your eyes to protect them from the laser light.
The dermatologist or technician will then activate the laser which will emit light pulses. The light light will pass through the area being treated after which the dermatologist will examine the area for a few minutes to ensure that the laser settings are correct and that you’re not experiencing any adverse reactions. If all is well, the treatment will continue.
After the procedure is over, the dermatologist might give you an ice packs, or anti-inflammatory lotion or cream or even cold water if you feel any discomfort. You might be required to come back for a follow-up after 4 to 6 weeks. After undergoing several treatments, the hair will stop growing.
Are there any laser devices that can be used at home?
Yes, there are laser hair removal devices available in different sizes which can be used to perform the procedure at home. However, if you carry out the procedure without being fully aware of how the equipment works you could run into painful problems.
In addition, you may not be using the same professional equipment that is used by our dermatology consultants in Coral Springs. So you may not be satisfied with the results.
