There are two main uses for lasers in cosmetic procedures: skin treatment and hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal
Having hair in unwanted places is not only a hassle, but it can make you self-conscious about the way you look. Laser hair removal offers an easy, long-lasting, and virtually painless way to remove unwanted hair, and keep it off.
How the process works is fairly straightforward. A high energy beam of light emitted by a laser is absorbed by the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second, the duration of each pulse is just long enough to treat the hair follicle, and not damage the surrounding skin. Once absorbed, the laser light energy is transformed into heat, destroying the hair bulb at the base of the hair follicle.
The colour of your hair depends on the presence of a pigment called melanin, which is produced by melanocytes, found in the hair bulb. The target for the laser energy in laser hair removal is this melanin pigment. A laser's energy will be absorbed into the follicle more effectively, producing better results, if an individual has more melanin in his/her hair.
Although the treatment effectively slows hair growth, it doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal. Several treatments are often needed to provide relief from unwanted hair. Also, maintenance treatments might be needed periodically.
The laser safely removes body hair without damaging the surrounding lighter skin in hair removal treatments.
Overall, it is a painless procedure. Possible symptoms, which are minor and curable, include: slight discomfort that feels like a rubber band against the skin may occur, and soreness or tenderness may accompany the healing process.
Laser hair removal is great because it offers long-term results. It may take repeated treatments to be completely rid of unwanted hairs, but once they're gone, this effect usually lasts. Besides, it is easy to treat any new hair growth.
Laser Skin Treatments
Skin treatments involving lasers differ from hair removal, because they go beyond the upper layer of skin (epidermis) and target below the second layer (dermis). There are various types of laser skin treatments and one very popular type is laser skin resurfacing. It involves a laser that gently removes layers of damaged skin so that healthy skin can form in its place.
Laser skin treatments even out skin tone and reduce signs of aging, such as highly-visible veins, wrinkles, and blotchiness.
Building healthy new tissue underneath the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin is achieved with another type of laser skin treatment. In no time at all, the healthy tissue will reduce sagging skin and wrinkles by repairing the tightness and elasticity that your skin once had.
The actual laser skin treatment is rarely painful. And, the healing pain is minimal in most cases. Following the resurfacing session, your face will likely be red and a little swollen. This should subside in just a few days; Immediately after leaving the clinic, you can return to your normal life. It may take several procedures to achieve the desired results with laser skin treatment; the results can often be subtle, yet by the end of your sessions, you should see noticeable changes in your skin.
