How Laser Hair Reduction Gives You Smooth, Festive-Ready Skin

The majority of people lead hectic lifestyles and don’t want to go through the hassle of shaving, waxing, threading, or depilating. There are situations when they cancel going to events because they don't have time to groom themselves and dress in the attire of their choice. To avoid this and maintain festive-ready, smooth, and hair-free skin at all times, dermatologists advise ditching traditional hair reduction methods and opting for laser hair reduction in Guragaon. Why laser hair reduction and no other alternative? Read on to know.

What is Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser hair reduction is a permanent approach for reducing unwanted hair growth and improving the skin texture and tone. It is an in-clinic cosmetic service, available only with a certified and trained aesthetician or a dermatologist.

How Laser Hair Reduction Can Prepare You for the Festive Season?

At Citrine Clinic, a medical-grade, FDA-cleared laser machine is used to deliver safe and effective results during laser hair reduction treatments. The machine emits light of a specific wavelength, which generates thermal energy. In a single laser pulse, multiple unwanted hair follicles are targeted at a time. When this energy is focused on the targeted area, it gets absorbed by the melanin pigment, present in the targeted hair follicles. The absorbed energy travels down the hair shaft to the hair roots and causes thermal destruction of the hair follicles. The damaged hair follicles lose their ability to produce healthy hair. Even if hair grows, it's lighter and finer.

Laser hair reduction is successful only when the targeted hair follicle is actively growing hair. As hair grows in cycles, at any given time, not every targeted hair is in the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle. To ensure a maximal and long-lasting reduction in unwanted hair growth, multiple laser hair reduction sessions are necessary. This way, the majority of the unwanted hair roots get damaged.

Laser Hair Reduction Process- What to Expect?

Consultation - The professional at Citrine Clinic will thoroughly assess the client’s skin tone and hair color, review medical records, determine candidacy, provide procedure details, discuss expectations and potential results, take photos of the targeted area, and recommend a tailored treatment plan, along with its cost breakdown.
Preparation for the Session - At the end of the consultation, the professional will provide a list of pre-treatment instructions to prepare for the session. This includes avoiding sun tanning and damage, as well as other hair removal methods or irritants.
During the session- A handheld laser machine is hovered over the targeted area. As the laser pulses reach the targeted area of the skin, they cause slight discomfort, which is mitigated by the machine's cooling mechanism.
After the session- The treated area looks like a mild sunburn. For smooth and quick healing, the client is recommended to care for the targeted area gently, keep it sun-protected and free from irritants- the harsh chemical products, the traditional hair removal methods, the aggressive skin treatments, the strenuous activities, swimming, and even hot baths/showers, saunas, and steam rooms.

FAQs on Laser Hair Reduction

What is the typical number of laser sessions required for smooth, hair-free skin?

A series of 6-8 sessions is usually recommended, undertaken every 4-6 weeks, to target the maximum number of hair roots and ensure optimal hair reduction. The exact number of sessions will be determined at the time of consultation, taking into account the individual’s hair and skin type, hormonal levels, treatment consistency, and the targeted area. For maintaining smooth, hair-free skin, one to two annual sessions are typically recommended.

Does laser hair reduction hurt?

Laser hair reduction can cause temporary, mild discomfort, often likened to feeling a rubber band flick against the skin or experiencing a warm, pinprick sensation. Generally, the pain is bearable. The felt pain intensity depends on the individual’s pain tolerance level. With the use of modern laser machines having in-built cooling technology and the application of numbing and soothing creams, the sessions are ensured to be comfortable throughout.

Are there risks of undergoing laser hair reduction?

Not if a trained professional is performing the sessions on a suitable candidate who strictly adheres to precautions and care instructions. However, mild, temporary side effects are typically expected, including irritation, redness, swelling, and changes in skin color.

How can I maximize the benefits of my laser hair reduction sessions?

Before, after, and in between laser hair reduction sessions, avoid sun exposure, tanning, and sunburnt skin. Also, refrain from using aggressive products or engaging in vigorous activities that could irritate the skin. To ensure proper healing and best outcomes, be gentle with the skin and keep it healthy and moisturised. Practice the detailed pre- and post-care instructions provided by the professional.

Will laser hair reduction be the best option for me?

Yes, if the targeted area has dark, coarse, thick hair and light skin, and there is no significant hormonal shift, the skin and body are healthy, a healthy lifestyle is maintained, and realistic expectations are held. If you are unsure about your candidacy for laser hair reduction in Gurgaon, consult with Dr. Niti Gaur, a trained skincare professional, at Citrine Clinic.
