Common areas for laser hair removal: key features

Laser hair removal is one of the most effective methods of removing unwanted hair. It allows you to forget about the daily shaving ritual and painful sugaring, providing long-lasting results and perfectly smooth skin. This article is dedicated to the features of laser hair removal and areas of the body that can be subjected to this procedure.

Face and neck

This is one of the most sensitive areas, so when performing laser hair removal in this area, it is important to pay attention to such aspects as:

1. Safety. For this procedure, it is better to choose a professional clinic that is licensed by the Ministry of Health, and the specialists who work there must have a higher medical education. Only a qualified specialist will be able to choose the right equipment and optimal laser parameters, taking into account the patient's skin phototype and individual characteristics.
2. Treatment duration. Depending on the treatment area, laser hair removal of the face and neck usually lasts from several minutes to half an hour.
3. Degree of sensitivity. Since this area is sensitive to laser pulses, local anesthesia may be applied during the procedure or lasers with built-in contact cooling may be used.

There is a tendency to grow fuzzy hair on the neck, which can be removed in the salon using a diode laser in 10 minutes. The laser device can be used to remove hair from the lower part of the head, preventing irritation and ingrown hairs in men on the neck under the chin. In addition, the laser helps to get rid of the side effects that occur after shaving and shugaring - black “stumps”, folliculitis, irritation.

After the first procedure, 20-40% of the hair will fall out, and after each subsequent procedure, the same amount will fall out. A full course of procedures, consisting of 5-8 visits at intervals of 1-2 months, will provide results for up to 8 years until the hair follicles recover naturally. Laser hair removal in the neck area is not recommended for people with thyroid diseases.

Chest and back

In women, chest hair can grow due to hormonal imbalances or genetic reasons, while in men it is a common situation. You can remove unwanted hair in this area in 20 minutes, repeating the procedure 4-5 times. Hair on the back and lower back can be removed in 6-10 procedures, it all depends on the patient's skin phototype, hair density and texture.

The following aspects should be taken into account when performing laser hair removal of the chest and back:

• Hair density. In this area, the hair is often dense, so to achieve maximum results, it is better to go through a full cycle of hair removal, which is determined individually by a specialist.
• Skin color and phototype. Laser hair removal can be performed on any skin phototype, it all depends on the equipment used and its parameters. In order to choose the right equipment and set the optimal settings for the procedure, it is better to consult with a clinic specialist before the appointment.

Hands and feet

Laser hair removal of arms and legs has the following features:

• Hair growth cycle. Depilation, regardless of the body part, is performed only on regrown hair, i.e. on hair that is in the active phase of growth. In order to remove those that were dormant at the time of treatment, it is necessary to wait a few weeks until they enter the anagen (active growth) phase, and only then can the procedure be repeated. In order to completely remove hair, it is necessary to go through the entire cycle of procedures determined by a specialist.
• Maintaining skin condition. Laser hair removal can be slightly drying to the skin, so it is important to moisturize it regularly.
• The level of pain. Everyone has a different sensitivity threshold. Some people may experience pain during hair removal in areas such as the elbows and knees. To find out about possible ways to reduce pain and minimize discomfort during the session, consult a specialist. The specialist will adjust the laser according to the patient's skin phototype.

Bikini area and underarms

Underarm shaving is a very common but far from pleasant activity, as it is accompanied by itching, irritation and inflammation of the hair follicles. In addition, sweat remains in the hair follicles, causing an unpleasant odor. Laser hair removal will help to avoid these consequences and simplify daily body care. The procedure is carried out without contact, without irritation, ingrown hair and scars, and is safe and comfortable for the patient.

Since the skin in the bikini area is more sensitive, it is better to make an appointment with a specialist who will select the laser and set individual settings. This will make the procedure comfortable and painless.

Some clinics offer different options for laser hair removal in the bikini area, including classic, deep, or Brazilian hair removal. Before the procedure, discuss your preferences and goals with a specialist to find the most suitable option.

After the procedure, take care of hygiene and avoid injury to the treated areas. During the recovery period, follow the recommendations of your skin care specialist to avoid side effects and allergic reactions. Avoid excessively hot baths and tanning beds.

Regardless of the area to be treated with laser hair removal, it is important to choose a qualified specialist and follow the instructions for skin care after the procedure. The results will be long-lasting and your skin will be smooth for years to come.
