If Interested In Undergoing Laser Hair Removal Worcester Should Be Aware Of These Facts

By Dominique Martin


Hairiness anywhere other than the head is generally something most people find physically unappealing. Women and men alike struggle with hair-growth in places where it is not wanted such as the bikini area, face, legs, and back and fortunately today they have an effective way to remove it without all the pain associated with earlier methods. Laser light is absorbed into the pigments within each follicle, effectively killing them so they don't grow back. It's a good idea if before choosing laser hair removal Worcester clients first get all the facts.

Several types of lasers have been approved by the FDA for the safe removal of body hair, these include the diode, Neodymium YAG, and alexandrite to name a few. Originally this procedure only worked on light-skinned people with darker hair, and this group still gets the best results, however new advances in technology have lead to the development of lasers which can be used on those with a darker complexion.

Some follicles may be resistant to the treatment, and grow back, which will require additional applications, but most will respond favorably. One area of the body where laser cannot be used is around the eyes, as this can cause damage to the vision. Side effects may be experienced by some people, most commonly, the treatment area will be slightly swollen and tender afterwards or discolored, but this will not persist.

Only a board certified physician who has been trained in the administration of this procedure should perform it. When the patient attends the initial consultation, the doctor will be able to determine if he or she is a suitable candidate for the treatment, and provide a full explanation of the process, expectations, and costs.

Before having the procedure done, the patient will have refrain from tanning, both natural and sunless, beginning six weeks before the hair removal session is scheduled. Shaving is the only acceptable hair removal alternative in the mean time, as it doesn't damage the follicle and is actually believed to aid in getting better results.

When the patient arrives at the clinic for the procedure, he or she will be given protective eye-wear and a topical anesthetic will be applied to the area which will be treated. The doctor will then direct the laser device onto the region of skin, and as it is activated, light pulses will be released into the target follicles, the skin will not overheat as a cooling tip or gel will prevent this. Large areas may take over an hour, while small ones just a few minutes.

Swelling and redness is normal and can be expected immediately following the procedure. It may last for several hours, but it can be reduced by applying ice or aloe vera gel, a steroid cream may also be prescribed if necessary. Analgesics should relieve any pain. Keeping the treated area out of direct UV light is important.

Different factors affect the results each patient will get from the procedure. It's common to require anywhere from four to six sessions before one achieves the desired effect. It's possible that the hair will not regrow for years, especially if one has an annual or bi-annual session to maintain the results.
