Laser Hair Removal
In Pine Cosmetic Clinic
Laser hair removal is one of the most advanced technologies, which is widely appealing to both men and women of all skin types. The procedure results in a stable reduction of terminal hairs during multiple sessions. It is a safe, effective, fast, and painless method that can treat hairs anywhere on the body.
The mechanism is that the heat and energy emitted from the highly concentrated laser beam is absorbed by melanin (the pigments in hair follicles) and causes photo-thermal destruction, which then destroys the hair follicles' stem cells.
During the treatment, cooling sources are utilized to minimize the unwanted thermal damage prompted by melanin on the outer skin layer.
Depending on the skin type, hair thickness, hair roughness, and hair color, a treatment plan is customized. The schedule is dependent on the part of the body you want to treat, and this is since hair follicles on each part most likely are in a different phase of hair growth than those on the other parts.
The hair follicle is more susceptible to treatment when the hair is in the Anagen (growth) phase. Typically, the sessions are scheduled with every four to six weeks interval. Yearly maintenance sessions are recommended to maintain the results.
A general piece of advice is that when considering laser or IPL hair removal treatments make sure you have not been exposed to the sun for at least two weeks prior to the procedure. Tanned skin is more vulnerable to injury caused by a laser beam.
