There are two primary uses for lasers in cosmetic procedures: hair removal and skin treatment.
Laser Hair Removal
Hair in unwanted places is a hassle, and you might feel self-conscious about your appearance because of it. Laser hair removal is a simple, almost painless, and long-lasting way to get rid of unwanted hair.
How the process works is fairly straightforward. The hair follicle absorbs a high energy beam of light that a laser emits. For only a fraction of a second, the laser is pulsed, or turned on, just long enough to treat the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. Once absorbed, the laser light energy is transformed into heat, destroying the hair bulb at the base of the hair follicle.
A pigment called melanin, which is produced by melanocytes, is found in the hair bulb and determines the colour of your hair. This melanin pigment is the target for the laser energy in laser hair removal. Thus the more melanin an individual has in his/her hair, the more effective a laser's energy will be absorbed into the follicle and the better the results will be.
Although the treatment effectively slows hair growth, it doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal. To provide relief from unwanted hair, it typically takes several treatments. Periodic maintenance treatments might also be needed.
The laser safely removes body hair without damaging the surrounding lighter skin in hair removal treatments.
The procedure is generally painless. There may be some soreness or tenderness accompanying the healing process, or a slight discomfort that is often compared to a rubber band against the skin, but these symptoms are very minor and curable.
The great thing about laser hair removal is that the results are long-lasting. It may take several treatment sessions to completely rid yourself of unwanted hair, but once it is gone, in most cases, the effect will last. Don't forget it's simple to treat new hair growth.
Laser Skin Treatments
In contrast to hair removal, skin treatments involving lasers go beyond the upper layer of skin (epidermis) and targets below the second layer (dermis). Of the many types of laser skin treatments, a popular one is laser skin resurfacing. It involves a laser that gently removes layers of damaged skin so that healthy skin can form in its place.
Even out skin tone, and reduce signs of aging, such as highly-visible veins, wrinkles, and blotchiness via laser skin treatments.
There is another treatment that works by using a laser to penetrate the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin to build healthy new tissue underneath. In no time at all, the healthy tissue will reduce sagging skin and wrinkles by repairing the tightness and elasticity that your skin once had.
The laser skin treatment process is hardly ever painful. And, the pain during healing is minimal in the majority of cases. Following the resurfacing session, your face will likely be red and a little swollen. This should subside in just a few days; You can go back to your regular life right after you leave the clinic. To achieve the desired results with laser skin treatment, it may take several procedures; you should see noticeable changes in your skin by the end of your sessions, although the results can often be subtle.
