Laser hair removal Anchorage - the full picture
What is laser hair removal treatment?
Lasers produce a high-intensity beam of pure light which gives off heat energy. This energy is absorbed by different body tissues depending on the colour of the laser beam. This is why laser light can pass safely through your skin layers and destroy targeted cells under the surface without harming any of the surrounding area. With laser hair removal the heat energy damages the cells at the root of the hair thus preventing any further growth.
What laser hair removal treatment can do.
The treatment can be used on your face or on any other part of your body including your bikini line, underarms, legs and stomach. The treatment works best on new hairs that are just starting to grow - which is why you will need several treatments in the same area to treat any fresh growth.
What Anchorage laser hair removal treatment can't do
Laser hair removal treatment probably won't remove all your hair permanently, but it should reduce growth quite significantly - plus any eventual regrowth is likely to be paler and much weaker. Lasers are targeted at pigmented tissue so they don't work on white, grey or platinum blonde hair.
What happens during laser treatment?
As with any cosmetic procedure, you should consult a qualified practitioner before deciding to go ahead with the laser hair removal treatment you're considering.
You may need to wear goggles, depending on the type of laser system being used. A cooling gel or spray, or even an anaesthetic cream may be applied to the area to be treated. Lasering stings or tingles - a bit like being lightly flicked with an elastic band - and takes just 15-45 minutes depending on the size of the area. The same area is lasered regularly (once a month) for two to eight months until all the hair follicles have been treated and you've achieved the results you were looking for.
After laser hair removal Anchorage treatment the skin may look red and slightly swollen, but this should disappear within 24 hours. You can return to normal daily life straight away.
Results
Most people require at least three sessions for the best effect and results. The damaged hairs are shed gradually in the two weeks after treatment.
Risks
The treatment works best - and has lower risk - on pale skin. Let any sun tan fade before you consider laser hair removal in Anchorage. The skin can be left with dark marks or pale patches which should fade over several months. Lasers also don't always work well on red hair.
Because laser energy is absorbed by skin pigment, it may not be suitable for people with darker complexions because of the risk of too much energy being absorbed by the tissue and damaging the skin. People with Mediterranean complexions can be treated, but with caution. You should also avoid laser hair removal if you're particularly sensitive to light or have any infection around the place to be treated. You should not have laser hair removal in Anchorage if you've been treated for acne with Isotretinoin in the previous year.
