Why The World Is Falling In Love With Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal, arguably the most popular hair removal method, uses laser energy to produce long-term hair reduction. The heat that is absorbed by the pigment or melanin in the hair triggers inflammation in the hair follicle. Afterwards, the heat from the light of the laser eventually causes the follicle to undergo its resting stage. In this stage, the follicle will not be able to produce any hair.

UNWANTED HAIRS & LASER HAIR REMOVAL

UNWANTED HAIRS & LASER HAIR REMOVAL

INTRODUCTION
The main indication of laser hair removal is hirsutism i.e, presence of hairs in a male pattern distribution in a female. This article covers the main causes of hirsutism, various methods of hair removal and basic knowledge a patient should know before starting laser hair removal treatments.

HIRSUTISMHirsutism is defined as presence of dark coarse hair in a male pattern distribution in a female. The most common site affected is face mainly over upper lips and chin, other sites include chest( sternum, breasts), back, abdomen( linea alba and upper pubic triangle).CAUSES OF HIRSUTISM
The causes of hirsutism are many and varied, including:
•  Heredity
•  Pregnancy
•  Hormonal imbalances (PCOS, adrenal or ovarian tumours, cushing’s syndrome,  
thyroid disorders )
•  Insulin resistance states (eg. obesity)
•  Reactions to certain medications (eg. steroids)
•  Normal aging processes
•  Idiopathic.
Doctor should explore a possible underlying reason of the extreme hair growth before starting laser because if there is something in the body consistently triggering hair growth, laser treatments might seem ineffective because the body will keep developing new hair. So, it will always seem like there is not reduction, when in fact it’s NEW hair your body is producing that you are seeing, not that treated by laser growing back. Women with PCOS hair growth patterns (upper lip, chin, cheeks, etc) should see an endocrinologist and have hormonal tests taken. Men can get tested for insulin resistance etc. Laser can affect the hair that’s currently present, but cannot prevent NEW hair from developing. VARIOUS METHODS OF HAIR REMOVAL & THEIR SIDE EFFECTSHair removal methods can be broadly classified into two types: A. Depilatory methods i.e removal of hair from the skin surface like hair removal creams and shaving.
B.  Epilatory methods like plucking, waxing, electrolysis and lasers.
Skin irritation and redness are the most common side effects of hair removal. Shaving can cause skin cuts and may lead to ingrown hairs. Plucking can hurt, especially if a lot of hairs are removed. Using hot wax can burn your skin. Chemicals that dissolve hair often smell bad and can cause allergic skin reactions.
Regrowth of hairs is very rapid with these methods & in due course of time the growth may become thicker.  
Electrolysis hurts and in some people can cause thick scars (called keloids). It may also change the color of the skin around where the hair was removed.
Laser hair removal can also cause burns and color changes in the skin. But side effects are minimal if done in the best hands by an expert dermatologist.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Laser hair removal (LHR) is a procedure by which hair is removed from the body by utilizing a long pulse laser. Actually, the right term would be Laser hair reduction rather than Laser hair removal since hundred percent clearance of hairs can’t be achieved. The laser parameters are carefully defined by studying the anatomy of the hair follicle. LHR should be performed by a specially-trained dermatologist. MECHANISM OF ACTION
Lasers are optical devices which produce single color beams of light. Laser light energy creates heat as it passes through the skin and targets darker colored pigment, melanin, found in the follicle and hair. By heating up the hair follicle during its active phase (anagen), the laser disables the follicle’s ability to produce hair without affecting surrounding tissue.
Lasers designed for long term hair reduction emit wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair (melanin). If the surrounding skin is relatively light compared to the color of the hair, then the entire energy of the laser will be concentrated in the hair shaft, effectively destroying it without affecting the skin or follicle. Hair removal lasers target the dark pigment in the hair. That’s why laser hair removal works best on light skin (so laser passes right through) and dark coarse hair (has most pigment). Lasers don’t work on white, brown and very thin black hair. NUMBER AND SPACING OF TREATMENTS
Most people need at least 6-8 initial treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart. This is because hair grows in 3 phases and is killed only in the first “anagen” active growing phase. Several treatments are needed to target ALL hair in the active growth phase. Approximately 4-8 weeks after every treatment, additional treatment is required to eliminate the hairs that came out of the dormant phase and are now active. After 6-8 treatments or so, patients should experience a considerable percentage of hair reduction. Depending upon hair type, genetic and hormonal factors, some cases may require additional treatments beyond these initial treatments. PREPARATION BEFORE TREATMENT
Sunlight should be avoided by proper use of a sunscreen in the weeks prior to a hair laser removal session, since tanned skin will inhibit effectiveness. If you are taking any medication, tell your doctor. The area in which LHR is to be done should be shaved ideally 1-2 days prior to treatment. No waxing or removing hair with the root with any other way is allowed 3 weeks before and throughout the course of treatment as hair needs to be in place to be targeted by laser. LASERS USED
Long pulse Nd.Yag Laser long pulse, Diode laser and IPL (Intense pulse light).SUMMARY OF ARTICLEUnwanted hairs on the face is a very common problem in girls these days. In most of the cases it is associated with a specific cause most common being some hormonal imbalances. People keep on trying different methods of hair removal without treating the cause. There are a lot of myths regarding laser hair removal & this article has been written to dispel these.

Laser Hair Removal: Everything You Always Wanted to Know but Were Afraid to Ask

Let’s face facts here: a woman with a beard is rarely considered alluring. Neither is a woman with a mustache, albeit a faint one, unless you are Frida Kahlo fan or a Vladmir Nabokov aficionado. Assuming you are neither, what can you do if you fear you are turning into the Bearded Lady at the circus, apart from plucking, bleaching and shaving?Unfortunately, plucking, bleaching and shaving don’t really work in those oh-so visible parts of the body such as the face – and neither do tweezing or waxing. It might be okay to pluck a stray nipple hair now and then or to shave your underarms, but using a razor on a female upper lip is NOT the way to go.So when all has has failed, luckily there finally is a relatively new technique that promises to put an end to our daily quest to rid ourselves of unwanted hair: laser hair removal. But when all is said and done, does it really get rid of that hairy problem?The short answer is: yes.How Does Laser hair Removal Work?Laser hair removal became widely available in the middle of the 1990s. Clever boffins discovered that lasers can cause damage to parts of the human body, such as skin and hair, by heating specific targets. Where hair is concerned the target is melanin, a dark matter present in the follicle, which causes the hair to grow.Advanced scientific techniques resulted in a laser which, when yielded correctly, would target the follicle and damage it, but leave surrounding skin intact. Basically, the follicles are heated and become inflamed, which makes them retreat to the resting, or telegen, phase, and stop growing.In the past, lasers could only work on dark eumelanin, responsible for brown or black hair, and not pheomelanin, which produces blonde and red hair. But now other hair types can also be removed.To ensure that your hair is gone and your skin isn’t, however, the skill of the person carrying out the procedure is vital. The darker your skin is, the harder it is to produce good results – and the easier it is to damage the skin itself. Risks of shoddy laser hair removal can include acne flare-ups, burning, white spots and skin discoloration – this can be avoided by using one of three types of lasers which are suitable to your specific skin type.Remember: laser hair removal does not claim to get rid of hair permanently, although when done regularly you may see permanent hair reduction. Most people will need a series of treatments, anywhere between three and five at least four weeks apart, for best results – although that depends on the amount of hair, its coarseness etc. Maintenance or upkeep treatments are also recommended, although they can take place just once a year.Also keep in mind that hair grows in spurts, so you will have to return at different times to target complete hair removal. The skill of the person doing the removal is also key, so get someone you trust who has lots of experience removing hair.A Laser Hair JourneyHere are the steps you will take to get rid of unwanted hair through lasers. Note that you should not pluck or wax your hair in the three weeks prior to treatment, that you should avoid exercise for at least 24 hours after, and shouldn’t be in the sun for about two weeks after. Always wear suncream – but especially following laser hair removal!A practitioner will most likely apply a spray or gel to the area first to numb it but not always – ask in advance if this is something you will want. Remember that pain is usually worse the first time, and that people with coarse hair and/or lots of hair will find the experience the most painful.Next, the practitioner will use the laser to take out the hair. If you are having laser therapy on or near your face, you may be asked to wear googles – some practitioners may ask you to wear them no matter what part of the body is being treated for extra safety.There is a good chance you will be red and sore after the hair removal has taken place, but luckily this will only last a few days. If you have an infection in the area or are taking certain medications, ask your doctor first whether laser hair removal is a good idea.You will soon find that the laser has inhibited the growth of your hair to a significant degree, more so with additional treatments, although the hair may not disappear entirely. Be aware that a very small minority of people do not respond to laser hair removal, and that electrolysis may work better in areas where the strands of hair need to be removed one at a time – such as in the eyebrow area. And in very rare cases, new hair will grow in the areas adjacent to the ones treated, which will require additional hair removal treatments.While you may experience some temporary pigment changes after laser hair removal, be aware that scarring can occur. Minimize the risk of this happening by using only an experienced practitioner and making sure you have the right type of laser for your skin type.If you have a tan, either fake or real, you will need to wait until it has faded completely before you embark on a course of laser hair removal. This is to decrease your risk of skin discoloration as well as to reduce any possibility that your skin will blister, which will be only temporary if it happens at all.Both men and women often seek laser hair removal as a way to remove unwanted hair seemingly forever. While women concentrate on the upper lip, chin, breast area, thighs, legs, armpits and bikini lines, men often want their chests and backs hair-free. It is estimated that lasers can reduce the hair count, in some cases, by a whopping 90 percent. Happy lasering!
