2. Lasers emit a suitable frequency of light that targets and reduces unwanted body or facial hair. It uses laser light to heat and destroy the target melanin (the pigment that gives colour to the skin and hair) found in the hair follicle, shaft and matrix. This non-invasive treatment typically uses wavelengths ranging from 600 to 1200 nanometers (nm) selectively absorbed by melanin. This technique can remove hair from the upper lips, chin, back, shoulders, neck, arms, chest, legs, and bikini area.

3. Benefits of Laser Hair Removal Treatment Laser hair removal has many advantages compared to traditional methods of hair removal. These are: It is a painless method of hair removal. It is cost-efficient in the long run. It can remove even the smallest to very coarse hair. It is a permanent method of hair removal. It does not carry the risk of skin infection, ingrown hair or strawberry skin. It is a simple, non-invasive method. It works only on the target area without harming the surrounding skin. It can be performed on any body part. It is suitable for all skin types. Mechanism of Laser Hair Removal Before understanding the mechanism of laser hair removal, let's understand the hair growth cycle. The hair life cycle comprises 3 phases - Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. Anagen: This is the growth period. On average, hair grows from the roots for 2–7 years before hair follicles stop growing. The length of this phase depends on your maximum hair length, which is different for everyone because of genes, age, health, and many other things. Hair can grow between 18 and 30 inches during this period. Catagen: Catagen is the second part of your hair's growth cycle. This period typically lasts only two to three weeks. During this phase, hair stops growing and pulls away from the blood supply, becoming "club hair."

4. Telogen: The third and last stage of hair growth is called the Telogen phase. This phase starts with a time when the club hairs rest in the root, and new hair starts to grow beneath them. This phase lasts approximately three months. Laser hair removal is performed when the hair is still in the anagen phase. The laser light targets the root of the hair. After each sitting, the new hair growth will be thinner and lighter in colour. The hair stops growing permanently after three-four sittings. How is Hair Removal From Laser? At Charma Clinic, the best clinic for Laser Hair Removal in Bangalore, Dr. Rajdeep Mysore is a dermatologist in bangalore, he uses the best and latest technology to provide satisfying patient results. Below mentioned are the three technologies used at Charma Clinic: 1.

It is also considered a relatively safe technique for people with a darker complexion. 3. Alexandrite Laser: This technique is best for people with a light complexion and dark hair. It uses alexandrite crystal (a rare gem with healing properties) as its laser source.

5. Pre-procedure: ● The doctor will review the patient's medical history to check for any possible skin infection. ● The female patient may undergo a hormone test to identify if they are suffering from hirsutism (a condition where women develop male-pattern hair growth). ● Once the tests are clear, the doctor can suggest the best-suited laser hair removal treatment for the person. ● It is advised to stop waxing and plucking body hair 6 weeks before the treatment. ● The patient is also asked to stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding. ● One is also advised to avoid the sun and use sunblock cream starting 6 weeks before the treatment. During the procedure: ● The first and foremost step is to ask the patient to wear an operation gown and protective eyewear (provided at the clinic). The doctor and his team also wear these glasses to protect the eyes from laser damage. ● Then the doctor makes the patient comfortable and cleans the target area. ● A numbing gel is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort during the procedure. ● Once the numbing gel kicks in, the doctor uses a laser beam to remove the unwanted hair from the target area. Aftercare: ● After completing the procedure, a cooling gel or ice pack is applied to the target area to minimize the redness and swelling. ● It is advised to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 for 1-2 months to protect the skin from sun damage.

6. ● One must also gently exfoliate the skin after a week of the treatment to remove any dead cells. ● It is also advised to avoid using deodorant, perfumes, creams or makeup for 24 hours after hair removal. ● It is advised to cleanse gently and pat dry the treated area for faster recovery instead of rubbing or scratching. Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal Laser hair removal is a safe technique. However, just like any cosmetic procedure, it carries some possible side effects which go away within a few hours of the treatment. After the procedure, one may experience a little swelling, redness or irritation around the treated area. Applying a calming gel or ice pack can help reduce these side effects.
