There are two primary uses for lasers in cosmetic procedures: hair removal and skin treatment.
Laser Hair Removal
You might be self-conscious about the way you look if you have hair in unwanted places. Laser hair removal is a simple, almost painless, and long-lasting way to get rid of unwanted hair.
It is a fairly straightforward process. A high energy beam of light emitted by a laser is absorbed by the hair follicle. 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. The laser light energy is transformed into heat once absorbed, this destroys the hair bulb at the base of the hair follicle.
The colour of your hair depends on the presence of a pigment called melanin, which is produced by melanocytes, found in the hair bulb. In laser hair removal, the target for the laser energy is this melanin pigment. A laser's energy will be absorbed into the follicle more effectively, producing better results, if an individual has more melanin in his/her hair.
It doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal, but the treatment effectively slows hair growth. It typically takes several treatments to provide relief from unwanted hair. As well, periodic maintenance treatments might be needed as well.
The laser safely removes body hair without damaging the surrounding lighter skin in hair removal treatments.
In general, the procedure is 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 best thing about laser hair removal is that the results are long-term. 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. And any new hair growth is easily treatable.
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). Laser skin resurfacing is one of the most popular types of laser skin treatment. With a laser, layers of damaged skin are gently removed so 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.
Building healthy new tissue underneath the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin is achieved with another type of laser skin treatment. The tightness and elasticity that your skin once had will be repaired, in no time at all, because this healthy tissue will reduce sagging skin and wrinkles.
The actual laser skin treatment usually painless. 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. In just a few days, this should subside. 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; the results might not be noticeable right away, but by the end of your sessions, you should notice changes in your skin.
