laser hair removal involves removing unwanted hair utilizing laser technology. The high level of energy in the laser is picked up by the pigment within the hair (melanin), that changes the energy into heat destroying the hair bulb at the follicle, which is deep within the skin. Unfortunately, conventional hair removal routines can be painful, tedious, and expensive over time. Waxing may a couple of weeks, shaving may last a day, but none of them last forever -; and therein lies the true beauty of laser hair removal. Multiple treatments are needed for laser hair removal in Hawaii because not all hair will be in the same phase.
The first stage of laser hair removal in Hawaii involves treating a small patch of skin as a test to check that the treatment is suitable. You will need to check the test area regularly over the next week for any signs of blistering, scab formation, increase in pigmentation or loss of skin pigment and report these to the skin laser centre for your safety, although it does not necessarily mean that you will have to stop treatment. The number of treatment sessions you will need and the length of time each session takes will depend on your individual needs and will be discussed with you. The benefits of laser hair removal are:
1 – It can reduce the growth of hair by 50-80% after 6 to 12 treatments.
2 – Hair becomes thinner and finer.
3 – It is much faster and less painful than other methods such as electrolysis.
4 – It is more effective than other methods such as waxing and lasts longer.
5 – The results can improve your confidence.
6 – It reduces ingrown hairs.
You will be able to go home as soon as the treatment is over. Immediately after your treatment the treated area will be slightly red and swollen but this usually settles within 24 hours. You may also have some bleeding and weeping from the area for a couple of days and your skin may become slightly ‘crusty’. After your treatment session is finished, you are able to continue your normal routine. After that, hair follicles might seem to arise for two to three weeks. But, these are dead hairs and they will fall out quite easily.
