Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal eliminates unwanted body hair by the purposeful destructive effect of light radiation on the hair follicle. The laser beam "focuses" on the hair pigment or microscopic capillaries that nourish the follicle. It does not damage neighboring tissues. As a result, the follicle is heated and then destroyed. After a visual examination, the doctor adjusts the temperature and beam power. These parameters depend on the hair color, as well as its thickness and direction of growth. During laser hair removal, the patient lies on a comfortable couch. Special glasses protect his and the doctor's eyes. A special gel conductor is applied to the treated area to improve the properties of the laser. A laser flash penetrates the skin to the depth of the hair follicles and heats them. As a result, they are destroyed, and the hair in this place stops growing. The total duration of the procedure depends on the treated area. In the end, irradiated skin is treated with a restorative, soothing agent. After laser removal, hair that did not fall out immediately will leave their places for several more days. The laser can only affect the follicles in the active stage, so 4-6 sessions are needed to get rid of the hair.
