INTRODUCTION
More and more people are now crazy to have
hair-free skin. This is possible. They are more
beauty conscious and aware of physical grooming.
This awareness is hooking them to hair removal
treatments and devices. The market size of laser
hair reduction treatment in Gold Coast or any
other part of Australia is projected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 by
2028, according to a reliable source.
Isnt it amazing? (Certainly, yes) People love to
have permanent hair removal with laser treatments.
Lets get through how it works.

HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
This treatment involves laser beams that are
focused on hair follicles. These beams love
pigmented hair.This is why having black or
pigmented hair is an ideal condition to go for
this treatment. However, it works on other hair
colours also. But, the results may not be
desirable. The focused laser beams damage hair
follicles, which are located just below your
skin. It retards hair re-growth. Destroying
follicles disables hair production from the
chest, back, shoulders, neck, bikini line, and
face.
Possibly, all hair won't go off. But over time,
their appearance minimises. Some hair themselves
shed within a few days of the first laser hair
treatment. It's really quick when it comes to
removing hair from the upper lips, chest, or any
other body part. Hardly, one hour is required for
this procedure. It is to note that all hair
strands do not fall together. Over a week, they
fall off.

Here are a few dos and don'ts for the patients to
consider seriously. Ensure to follow these
after-care tips to get the best results.
SERVICE 1 Dot stay under the sun without
applying the prescribed sunscreen. However, the
first 7 to 10 days after the treatment are
crucial. But, having a shield of SPF 50 or any
recommended one can help you to have healthy and
undamaged skin forever. It actually prevents
irritation from the UV rays, which actually makes
it complicated to remove hair with
lasers. SERVICE 2 The procedure makes you feel
like mild sunburn on the treated area. Your
surface turns slightly reddish and swollen. These
are temporary side effects that are very much
manageable. You may apply ice packs and aloe vera
gel that provide a soothing sensation to your
sensitive skin.

Tanning products are certainly likable in
European countries, especially. Say a big no to
these products for at least 7-10 days after this
laser hair removal. These products carry
chemicals that can badly damage your
skin. SERVICE 4 Athletes and people in snowy
areas often prefer a hot bath. It should be
avoided to keep your skin blister-free. You may
take a cool shower right after the treatment in
summer. If its winter, prefer lukewarm water to
hot water after it. It can speed up the healing
of swollen skin and redness. In case the
blistering happens, call the doctor immediately.
He will recommend healing antibiotic ointment to
apply to them until healed. This is why you must
follow the aftercare advice.

Like a hot water bath, sunbathing, hot
temperature, steaming, and exercising can
adversely impact your texture. It can be changed,
irritated, infected or discoloured because of
excessive heat. If you are a big fan of tanning
beds, prefer to stay away from them. They may
turn out a scary experience. You may get scars or
permanent pigmentation on your surface. Exercises
can also up your body temperature, which may
cause irritation on the treated areas. Avoid all
of these practices. SERVICE 6 With a laser, your
skin becomes hair free. It makes you prone to
dryness. To lubricate your skin with hydration,
use a non-comedogenic mild moisturizer. Typically,
moisturizers clog pores. Opposite it, these
non-comedogenic moisturizers keep your pores
clear and also, encourage healing.

This treatment requires 4 or 5 sessions, at
least. In the meantime, you may shave your hair.
Its absolutely ok. But, plucking, waxing, and
threading should be avoided because these beauty
hacks remove hair from roots or follicles. Laser
treatment requires these follicles to be
permanently removed. So, never pull out your hair.
SERVICE 8 Exfoliation can make your skin better.
You may go ahead with it twice or thrice a day.
Using a washcloth and scrub can be beneficial. It
can hamper the possibility of ingrown hair. Once
exfoliation scrubbing are over, wipe out the
treated area in a circular motion. This wiping
will remove dead cells and prepare your skin for
the next laser treatment.

l.People are fond of retinoids these days. But,
they can harm your skin. So, avoid them up to a
week after this hair reduction laser procedure.

during healing. At this time, over-the-counter
products can make your contour worse.
SERVICE 10 1.You may have chemical peels,
microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, or dermal
fillers, but NOT between this hair removal
treatment. They can damage your crust or outer
layer. Besides, never use perfumes or deodorants

youre using soaps and shaving gels, hydrate your
skin immediately.

IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL
ERMANENT?
11
Answer
Yes, its permanent. However, just a session can
never promise you to get rid of unwanted hair
permanently. Have the patience to see its full
effect. This is all because of the hair growth
cycle. Hair follicles grow in separate cycles.
Patchy re-growth can help you to witness this
fact. Multiple sessions get better and desirable
results. These sessions may count between 3 and 8
to experience permanent hair removal.
Upon that, its good to go for follow-ups and
maintenance sessions. The certified doctor always
recommends it.
However Its not considered 100 permanent
for everyone. Some hair may regrow, though
often finer, lighter, and sparser.
Maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice
a year to keep results smooth.
