Tips On Laser Hair Removal Worcester

By Della Monroe


For those who are fed up with constant shaving or waxing for getting rid of unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be the best option. This is the most permanent of all the treatments used and is more effective than waxing or shaving. While electrolysis is still in use, it involves treating each hair individually and can be a painful method. In some occasions also, it can cause scarring. When considering laser hair removal Worcester residents should consider various facts.

Laser removal is not ideal for all skin types and hair colors. For the best results, one should have light skin and dark hairs. This is because the procedure targets pigmented tissues and works best on grey, white and red hairs. The body areas that are mostly targeted are the lips, underarms and arms. There is also the bikini line, legs and chest. For larger areas of the body, the treatment will be expensive.

The number of sessions required for the best results will depend on hair color and size of area to be treated. Normally, the sessions will be between 6 to 8. After treatment, it is possible that there will be some side effects. One of the side effects that should be expected are soreness of the area and swelling which is experienced for some hours. In certain circumstances, the skin may become lighter or darker.

There are effects like blistering and scarring that are very rare and are hardly ever experienced. The side effects that are caused by incorrect procedures or the wrong settings will be reduced by ensuring that the chosen clinic is certified for the procedure. Some research will also be required before the procedure. You need to know what to expect from the procedure and all the side effects that may be experienced.

This procedure works by passing of laser beams through the skin right to the hair follicles where hairs grow from. The heat generated by the lasers will damage the follicles and inhibit growth. Some cooling device is fitted on the handset which helps with cooling the skin. For the best results, a number of treatments will be needed. This is because hairs have many phases of growth. Treatment lasts for 15 minutes to one hour. The time taken depends on size of treatment area.

You will need to make choice of specialists who are certified, either a cosmetic surgeon or a dermatologist. Besides, they need to have enough experience. You should be cautious when having the procedure from spas and establishments with no medical professionals. In such cases, a qualified person should supervise. A meeting should be scheduled with the doctor before treatment to discuss among other things the medical history of the patient and what their expectations are.

For the reduction of discomfort after being treated, some ice is applied on the area being treated. If there is a skin infection after treatment, there will be application of steroid creams to the areas that are affected. There should not be exposure to sunlight for some time after the procedure.

As to whether the procedure is painful, it will depend on the specific patient. It usually depends on the sensitivity of the individual. Results after treatment will be seen gradually and one should not have very high expectations.
