Laser hair removal: learn more about this technique that conquers hearts

Laser hair removal is a hair removal method increasingly sought after by women and even men. It eliminates about 90% of the hair in the treated region progressively and is currently practically painless, which is a great advantage over other forms of hair removal on the market.

What’s more, laser hair removal is also quite affordable, with increasingly lower prices. See below for all the information about the technique!

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal is a hair removal technique performed using specific devices. It works as follows: the device is positioned on the desired area of ​​the body and, by means of pulsed laser beams, the melanin in the hair is being damaged.
It is suitable for people who have thick, dark hair and in large amounts. It is also of great value for those who do not have time to shave in short periods of time.

Dermatologist answers main questions about laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is a relatively new procedure in Brazil and, therefore, still inspires many doubts in people. To help, we looked for dermatologist Ana Pellegrini (CRM 5253066-0), specialist for the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, who answered some questions on the subject. Check out!

What professionals can do laser hair removal? Physicians and other health professionals who are cleared by their class council.

Does laser hair removal hurt? Treatment generally does not require cream or injectable anesthesia. Upon application, the patient feels as if an elastic band hits the skin or a slight pinch. It is a safe, fast and virtually painless method.

What are the advantages of laser hair removal? The main advantage is the superior effectiveness to other hair removal methods in reducing both the number of hair follicles and the thickness. The disadvantage is that it is not effective on white hairs, as the laser requires the absorption of light by the melanin of the hair follicle for selective photothermolysis, which destroys the follicle.

How many sessions are needed? The thicker and darker the hair, the faster the result. Initially, there is a long-lasting hair removal, and after 3 to 6 sessions, permanent hair removal begins.

Are there any risks with laser hair removal? After application, the site may be slightly red or swollen, regressing in a few days. Rarely, a superficial burn or changes in skin color may occur, both of which are usually transient.

What are the contraindications? Anyone can do laser hair removal as long as they are not tanned. There is no interference with the patient’s daily activities. After application, he can return to work, with in a few cases a local redness that subsides in a few hours. Blisters and crusts rarely form. There are safer devices on the market for dark skin tones.

What care should be taken after laser hair removal? Treatments with acid-based creams in the depilated region must be suspended 7 days in advance from the beginning of the treatment to the end of the sessions. If you are tanned (naturally or artificially), it is also necessary to wait at least 30 days to perform the first laser hair removal session. During treatment, that is, between sessions, do not shave with tweezers, hot or cold wax or any other method that pulls the hair out by the root. Basically, don’t do anything that could change the color or texture of your skin.

Can the hairs come back? Yup. There are cells that are capable of transforming into any body tissue and producing new hair. Most hair follicles undergo miniaturization if treatment protocols are strictly followed.

If you have any doubts about it, consult your dermatologist to find out if you can really get rid of your hair using this technique.

laser hair removal price

Many see laser hair removal as an expensive and inaccessible procedure. However, this is not necessarily a rule. Currently, each session costs between 150 and 1000 reais, depending on the chosen area and other reasons.

  • The price varies according to the region you live in: hot places, with a tropical climate, tend to set higher prices due to high demand. Cold places, lower values.
  • More qualified professionals can charge more: the more the professional has invested in their training and qualification, the greater the chances that their service will have a value above the market charged.
  • Be wary of very low prices: low cost services usually have lower quality. This can bring serious risks to your health.

Therefore, before choosing where to do laser hair removal, be sure to evaluate the qualification of the professional and the service. Your health is much more important than your pocketbook!
