Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that offers long-lasting results for removing unwanted hair. At Oxyderm Laser Clinic in Edmonton, we use advanced laser technology to provide safe and effective hair removal. Here is a step-by-step process of how laser hair removal works:
Before beginning the laser hair removal process, you will have a consultation with one of our certified laser technicians. During this consultation, we will assess your skin and hair type to determine the most effective laser settings for your unique needs.
On the day of your treatment, we will ask you to shave the area to be treated to ensure that the laser energy can penetrate the hair follicle effectively. We will also apply a cooling gel to the skin to help protect it from the laser’s heat.
During the laser hair removal treatment, our technician will use a handheld laser device to target the hair follicles. The laser emits a highly concentrated beam of light, which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. This heat destroys the follicle and prevents future hair growth.
After the laser hair removal treatment, we will apply a cooling gel to soothe the skin and reduce redness or irritation. You should avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities for a few days following the treatment.
Laser hair removal is most effective when performed in a series of sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. This allows the hair follicles to enter the growth phase when they are most susceptible to the laser energy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles with concentrated light beams. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth. This process is called selective photothermolysis. Multiple sessions are usually required to achieve optimal results because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the growth phase (anagen).
Laser hair removal is generally safe for most skin types, but its effectiveness can vary. Advanced Laser Technology Like Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC), are designed to be safer and more effective for darker skin tones, while other types, like the Alexandrite laser, are typically used for lighter skin tones. It’s essential to have a consultation with a qualified technician or dermatologist who can assess your skin type and hair color to determine the best laser treatment for you.
The number of laser hair removal sessions required varies from person to person, typically ranging from 6 to 8 treatments. Factors influencing the number of sessions include the treatment area, hair color, hair thickness, and the individual's hair growth cycle. Maintenance sessions may be needed periodically to maintain the results, especially for hormonal areas such as the face.
During a laser hair removal session, you may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin. Some areas may be more sensitive than others. The treatment duration depends on the size of the area being treated, ranging from a few minutes for small areas to an hour for larger areas. After the session, you may experience redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and using soothing creams, to ensure proper healing.
Temporary Discomfort: Redness, swelling, and mild pain or discomfort are common and typically resolve quickly.
Pigment Changes: There is a risk of temporary or permanent changes in skin color, especially in individuals with darker skin or those who have been exposed to the sun before or after treatment.
Blistering or Scarring: Though rare, improper laser settings or post-treatment care can lead to blistering, scarring, or skin texture changes.
Eye Injury: Protective eyewear is essential during the treatment to prevent eye injury from the laser light.
To minimize risks, ensure that your treatment is performed by a trained and experienced professional, and follow all pre- and post-treatment care instructions.
