By: Dr. Karishma Kagodu??Date: 2 SEPTEMBER 2022

No one wants unwanted hairs on their body, except on the head. Therefore, the need and want to eliminate unwanted hairs have accelerated the global demand for laser treatment, which is expected to hit a rate of 18.65% from 2021 to 2028.

Laser hair removal refers to the elimination of dark/thick or ingrown hair from an individual’s body by exposing it to laser light. Laser light frequencies like 810nm diode, 1064nm NdYag, 755 Alexendrite targets only the melanin in the hair follicles. Hair follicle containing melanin absorbs the light energy and burns out causing the hair root and shaft to be destroyed. Laser hair removal has numerous worldwide scientific evidence showing its safety and efficiency. There are absolutely no effects on your Skin following the procedure as the laser only targets the hair bulb.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, Plastic Surgeon, shares five reasons why laser hair removal treatment is life-changing:

1. Eliminate ingrown hair

Ingrown hairs are the worst, but have the answer with laser removal. The laser targets the hair bulbs, hence the ingrown hair is best targeted. It removes hair at the roots to achieve smoother skin.

2. Quick and Precise

A laser is the fastest way to get rid of unwanted hair. Atleast 6-8 sessions are needed to see 80-90% results and to offer you a long-term solution. The Latest Hair removal devices like Alma Soprano Titanium and the Triton Diolaze by Inmode Aesthetics which are available at Dr Karishma Aesthetics have superfast treatment times with 3D technology making the treatment very quick and precisely targetting the hair roots without damaging the skin. A single area treatment couldn’t be as fast as 7- 10minutes amd full body laser treatment can happen within 2-3hours . Each session is repeated once in 6-8weeks /depending on when the hair growth happens. Mainatinace sessions are needed for areas like Bikini /Face /under arms. But, within the first few sessions one will notice your hair getting lighter, less dense.

3. Get smoother skin

A laser is a great way to achieve clear, smoother skin, as the laser light precisely removes hairs at the roots, resulting in a solution of ingrown hairs. The laser beam focuses on hair follicles, destroys the hair, absorbs the existing pigment, and helps remove dark stubble. Unlike waxing, tweezing, and other methods, laser hair removal doesn’t leave a chance of growing back of those pesky hair.

4. Laser is a long-term solution

Due to the 3D technology in the lasers, multiple laser lights are combined to a single probe, simultaneously targetting different tissue depths. This means that different levels within the skin are targeted all at once, leading to a much more effective treatment – and skin stays hair-free longer. The long-lasting results of the laser made it a cost-effective option, as you need only a few removal sessions. In contrast waxing, razor, or tweezing requires lifetime chances of instigating ingrown hair, thick hair. Shaving /waxing creates friction has to be repeated very often and is known to cause chicken skin appearance(keratosis pilaris).

5. Laser is less painful compared to other methods

All the latest lasers have a Super Cool & comfortable technology (Ice Plus Cooling system in built in the devices) that is uniquely designed to keep your skin cool throughout the session, making the treatment almost painless. These lasers also have been reported safe for all skin types, including dark skin tones. In contrast, other hair removal methods like waxing or tweezing involve intense pain and uneasiness followed by redness and skin irritation after the session.
