How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures used to permanently remove any unwanted hair from your face and body. The procedure has become a popular alternative to techniques such as shaving or waxing for permanent hair reduction. The laser targets hair follicles so you get less hair between treatment sessions and are completely hair-free at the end. When you decide to go ahead with laser hair removal treatment, it is important that the person performing this medical procedure is a plastic surgeon, a board-certified dermatologist, or a nurse to make sure that it is carried out safely and effectively.
How does laser hair removal work?
During your initial consultation with one of our registered doctors for Laser hair removal in Dehradun, you will be advised whether your hair type qualifies you as a good candidate and whether your skin type will allow the treatment, we will advise the number of sessions required as well as the overall cost for permanent hair removal of the treatment area. It is important that you treat this procedure as you would any cosmetic surgery performed by plastic surgeons, following the correct aftercare advice to achieve your desired results.
Before we begin approaching your face or body with the laser, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to reduce any discomfort and act as a cooling agent against the laser light. This procedure may cause slight discomfort in the treated area but is less painful than other hair removal treatments such as waxing. Many of our patients describe it as a light sensation that resembles a rubber band snapping against your skin during the session. We recommend that you return to the clinic for several sessions every 4 to 6 weeks, with additional top-ups targeting any fine or light hairs that may be growing.
On the day of your laser hair removal procedure, your skin should be free of lotion, makeup, and deodorant; However, sunscreen should be used before and after the procedure. If you have noticed visible tan lines or tanning from recent sun exposure, we recommend rescheduling your appointment until the tanning has subsided. To ensure the effectiveness of the treatment, we recommend shaving the treated areas before sessions and between sessions as waxing and plucking should be avoided.
Which areas can be treated?
As mentioned, laser hair removal treatment is a cosmetic procedure that can be performed on most areas of the body that have facial and body hair. Most patients treat areas including the upper lip, chin, neck, underarms, bikini line, arms, lower legs and back to prevent future hair growth. A suitable candidate for laser treatment is those with thick, coarse and dark hair as the laser is most attracted to the pigment found in the hair follicles. The more color you have in your hair, the more effective the process of removing dark hair will be. Patients with lighter hair will not have the same success in removing body hair with this treatment. We recommend that people with darker skin tones avoid laser treatments, as the laser light targets the hair follicles and the pigment of the surrounding skin. Which can cause pigmentation issues against a darker skin tone.
