Are you dreaming about smooth skin without a worry of sweat trapped in it, and want to put an end to the number of visits to a salon just to get undesired hair removed? If yes, you have an option of full-body laser hair removal, like swapping out your old rusty razor for a beautiful high-tech magic wand that zaps away your unwanted hair for good.
But what is the actual procedure like? How will it feel to undergo the laser beams hitting your skin? What to expect after the procedure is done? These are some common doubts our clients have when they hear about the procedure. Let us walk you through our ways of doing the full-body laser hair removal procedure for a better understanding. This will let you have a calm experience and the best results.
Laser hair removal is a highly precise medical procedure that targets, restricting regrowth of hair follicles. It is a systematic procedure done through various steps, supervised by a medical professional. Let us break down the process so that it doesn’t feel like a mystery.
Your laser hair removal journey begins with a personalised consultation with a trained medical professional. You will be examined on the basis of your skin tone, hair texture, pigmentation intensity, etc. A patch test would be done to evaluate your skin sensitivity. A proper evaluation helps the specialist to customise your treatment plan to make sure it is effective for you.
Before the scheduled session, the target skin will be prepared by cleansing and shaving. This allows the laser beams to penetrate properly into the hair follicle because, if noticeable hair is present during treatment, it may burn, and the laser beams won’t be able to extract the hair from its root.
Once your skin gets ready, it’s showtime!! The doctor uses a laser device that uses controlled pulses of light targeting the melanin in the hair follicles rooted under your skin. At this point you might feel a tiny zap like a rubber band flick, nothing more than that. The laser beams destroy the hair follicles and stop further growth of hair in the same area. The precision-based laser technology is so advanced that clients will feel there are no more salon visits required.
Once your skin gets the laser shots and the hair removal process is in progress, you may not expect the laser magic to wipe off all the hairs in one go. This is simply because all the hair doesn’t grow at one stretch. The growth happens in a cyclic pattern. Usually a person needs around 6-8 sessions, which would be timed about 4 to 6 weeks apart, based on their hair growth pattern.
Every session plucks out the hair, reducing the growth and making the new hair finer and thinner. You will start noticing very few hairs only showing up as time goes by, finally leaving behind nothing but smooth skin. With no hair to deal with, you have more time for yourself to spend it as you like effortlessly.
You are done with your laser therapy. Now what? Your skin needs to be taken care of after the laser treatment, not only before that. Your skin will show some redness and swelling soon after the procedure, which is normal, but still you need to treat it well.
The post-treatment care plays a crucial role in how well the laser therapy will work on your skin. With consistency and care, you let your skin heal faster so that you can enjoy smoother and clearer skin that will last longer. There will be a visible reduction after just 2-3 sessions, but up to 90% permanent hair reduction will show up after completing a recommended number of sessions.
Now that you have a clear idea on what happens in the treatment room, and what steps you need to take to get the full results, you might be thinking is it safe to go through all these? Will it really be effective for me?
At Belle Cosmetic Clinic, we prioritise your safety. You can be sure that we do the safest laser hair removal, and it is performed by only trained professionals using advanced laser techniques. Full body laser hair removal is one of the most advanced and popular treatments for a good reason.
We use diode and Nd: YAG lasers approved and certified by the FDA. Our machines have built-in cooling mechanisms that are capable of protecting the surrounding skin while doing the treatment for the targeted hair follicles. Our dermatologists do a patch test and a full-body consultation before the procedure. We proceed with the treatment only after a proper assessment of your skin and its unique needs.
Laser hair removal offers lasting effectiveness, as it acts only on the active phase of hair growth in your body, as hair growth occurs in cycles. So lasers are administered during the anagen phase, and this is the very reason why multiple sessions are needed for the full effect to take place. However, to maintain the results effectively, you may be recommended to take sessions once or twice in a year.
Achieving smooth and hair-free skin is not a dream anymore. It is just a few sessions away with us at Belle Cosmetic Clinic Dubai. We combine medical expertise with advanced technology to ensure you get a full-body laser hair removal done in a comfortable and effective way.
