What We Need To Learn About Hair Laser Removal

By Bettie L. Teitelbaum


Even if the side effects of the laser hair removal are temporary or not, still they result damage to your skin. Moreover, conditions like these are really hard to avoid, but you could ask for guidelines from individuals that you may know to lessen the possibility. But to totally avoid, one can pick and choose other procedures aside from the laser hair treatment.

Although the results are great in acquiring hair laser removal, there are some potential hazards which may likely to take place. The unwanted effects could be short-term or long term. Considering that it's short-term, then there'd be no trouble because it will fade away in a few days, weeks or months. Well, the healing time only depends upon the seriousness of the negative effects or by using medications. The potential risk of someone to develop unwanted effects depends on her skin's quality; the more the skin is hypersensitive, the higher the chance of developing unwanted effects.

In the contrary, those who have encountered the side effects have learned to prevent them and still continue to have hair laser removal treatment. Also, they consult to a much better professional practitioner to avoid the chance of experiencing again the negative effects that their current physician had caused.

Short-term Negative effects

1. Pain is experienced during and after the process. This is because of the laser beam that generates heat to destroy the hair follicles. Anesthetic medications are used to relieve any pain that the client may experience. After the procedure, the accredited practitioner or the skin doctor may prescribe pain relief medicines to the client if the pain still continues.

2. The presence of irritation or redness onto the skin of the person is likely to happen. But this isn't a big deal because it can be treated with topical ointments or solutions. Some swellings aren't so severe; it could be left untreated and will fade away in a period of time.

3. Besides swelling and pain, redness may also happen on the treated area. This may be minimal problem you may experience. However if it's in noticeable areas just like the lips and face, or neck then it will be a problem. Redness can be relieved using topical creams or you can consult the doctor what you could do to heal the redness.

4. The worst and most unpleasant side effect of laser hair removal is blistering. Additionally, having the existence of blisters on the skin can be quite horrible in an individual's physical appearance and can be very psychologically embarrassing for an individual, especially if it's in areas which are easily seen by people. On the other hand, before going through the procedure, you may ask the physician what are the important things you can do about it. Better yet, think about plans that you could do if blistering will happen.

5. Temporary blackening of your skin on the treated part, that's sometimes referred to as hyperpigmentation, can also occur. This is because the laser targets the roots of the hair, hitting the skin can't be avoided. The client can't do anything until it is gone. If the affected area is noticeable then you can consult the accredited practitioner for any advice.

Long-term Negative Effects

1. The permanent lightening of the skin or skin discoloration of the treated part could sometimes occur after the process or weeks after the process. During the process, the laser ruins the hair root along with the dark pigmentation of the skin. To some people who already have a white skin tone, this is not an issue. But for anyone who has dark skin color, this may be harmful to them.

2. Burns, are very rare and less likely to happen during the procedure unless the specialist is less qualified or does not have any experience yet. Sometimes this is due to overtreatment on the skin or the laser heat is very high for the skin. Burns can be very painful even if these are simply small burns.

3. Scarring on the skin typically occurs when the skin is treated by practitioners that do not have the capacity to do the process. Sometimes it's caused by the doctor's carelessness. If the laser hair removal is done by inexperienced doctors, you should be prepared to deal with the consequences.
