Unwanted hair removal has indeed become extremely convenient owing to laser. Let us see how the laser hair removal procedure works. During course of the treatment, pulses of laser light, which highly controlled, are made to absorb by hair follicles as desired.
The follicles selectively absorb these pulses. The area that lies just below the surface of our skin reacts to them. The absorbed light gradually heats and in the process, destroys the requisite hair follicle. This action prevents any regrowth that might occur. The aim is attained without causing any damage to surrounding tissues.
Laser pulses are exerted on the skin’s surface covering the treatment area fully. Hair follicles are targeted at this time and would either grow back thinner or not grow at all, depending on the current growth stage.
It is also necessary to check how the hairs pass through three distinct stages during their entire life cycle at different time periods. The hair tends to be extremely vulnerable to laser pulses at one of those specific stages. This is exactly why several treatments become necessary to ensure that hair follicles are destructed.
It’s for a patient’s safety purpose that the surface hair are gradually removed leaving the follicles just below. Some lasers need a cold gel before the treatment whereas some others are manageable simply with a cooling system.
