How does laser hair removal work?
In laser hair removal, the hair is not torn: the root (or more precisely the follicle) is destroyed with the help of laser beam. Its wavelength attacks only the hair bulb, without deteriorating any other skin structure. Melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of the hair, absorbing the light produced by the laser heats up to more than 60° C and destroys the hair follicle. Result: the latter no longer produces hair.

Features and advantages of laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is almost painless – at most it can cause a sensation of discomfort, similar to a needle prick, or strong heat.
Each pulse of the laser acts on a surface of about two square centimeters. Both the beautician or the esthetic physician and the patient must wear protective glasses.
Avoid waxing, removing hair with tweezers or bleaching them a month before laser hair removal. It will also be necessary to shave the hair two days of the session: you will avoid wasting the energy absorbed by the hair.
One does not get rid of hair at once: it is advisable to carry out 5 to 10 treatments, a variability that depends on age, the type of skin and the characteristics of the hair. The duration of the session varies from 15 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the area to be treated. In general, the side effects are rare and momentary. The eventual redness lasts a few days. Definitely a lot less painful than hot wax and the Arab waxing but more effective depilatory creams and electric epilators are good for the laser hair removal.
In addition to being painless in fact, it favors a reduction in the quantity and diameter of the hairs as well as a slow regrowth, if not nonexistent but total elimination. The important thing is to respect the precautions indicated above and submit to an adequate number of sessions.
As the treatments are performed, in fact, the hairs grow back less quickly (from 4 weeks at the beginning to several months later) and increasingly thinner.
Considering the effectiveness and the advantage of being painless this technique is often chosen by women for a total depilation of the private parts, an increasingly popular habit s seen in laser clinics Australia.
Although laser hair removal is considered definitive, it should be remembered that it removes about 80% of the hairs on the treated areas and that they will still remain light and thin hairs. In any case, by performing maintenance sessions the remaining skins will become increasingly thinner and thinner: the skin will remain smooth longer and longer without being irritated by waxing or shaving that, as we know, can cause ingrown cuts and hair.
