Laser Hair Removal

Keratin is a special tough protein that makes up hair that grows all over our body from follicles in the dermis.  A hair follicle helps the hair attach itself to our skin, and the hair is nourished with hormones that modify hair growth and structure at different stages of our life. The hormones determine where hair grows on our body, particularly after puberty. While hair on some parts of our body, such as on our head, is desirable, hair growth on other parts of our body, such as on our arms, underarms, back, and legs, might appear unappealing for some. Although excessive hair growth does not pose any health concern, it could nonetheless be a cosmetic concern for some if unwanted hair is growing on some parts of the body. Undesirable hair growth on parts such as the back or legs might cause those who are more self-conscious about their appearance to develop issues related to lower self-esteem.

What results can I expect to see?

Most patients can expect a significant amount of hair to be removed over the treatment area. Future hair growth over the area, if any, will also typically be thinner, lighter, and less conspicuous. Results are quick and improvements should be visible within one week of the first laser hair removal session. Depending on the size of the treatment area, between three to five sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart will lead to a significant aesthetic and clinical result. However, the success of hair reduction treatments depends largely on a patient’s skin and hair type, as well as the skills and treatment insight of the doctor. It is therefore very important that a properly trained and highly experienced doctor is selected to ensure optimal and long-lasting treatment results.
