What Is Laser Hair Reduction?
Laser hair reduction (LHR) is an aesthetic procedure that reduces unwanted body hair using highly concentrated beam of laser light. In order to slow down the hair growth, the laser damages and heats the pigment melanin in the hair follicles. All parts of the body, including the private area, can be treated with this technique. It can produce long-lasting results and is less painful than conventional hair reduction techniques like waxing or electrolysis or epilation. It may take several treatment sessions to get the desired results as LHR targets follicles that are there only in growing phase i.e. Anagen.
What Is The Pathophysiology?
It uses a highly concentrated near infrared light which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles heating and damaging it, which inhibits or delays the hair development. People with darker, thicker hair and lighter skin typically have better results. Men requires more sessions of LHR compared to women as they have coarser hair.
What Is The Procedure?
Process For Treatment
Laser hair reduction procedure is done using specialized FDA/CE approved laser equipment. In this procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light is applied to the hair follicles systematically in a focused manner to destroy the stem cells found in hair follicles. This will decrease the possibility of new hair growth as well as ingrown hairs.
