Laser Hair Removal Brisbane

Traditional methods of hair removal provide only temporary results. Plucking, shaving and waxing are the most commonly used methods by many individuals. For some people, such as diabetics, physicians advise that waxing and shaving are not recommended. Most people suffering from diabetes have poor circulation and varicose veins. This makes these individuals more susceptible to acquiring an infection through broken skin tissues. Laser hair removal has become a common technique for many people. Unwanted hair can safely be removed without any damage to pore or skin structures. The Cosmetic Matching Service can help match you with up to three clinics in Brisbane that offer laser hair removal.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

During laser hair removal, a laser sends a light beam that enters through skin. This light beam is absorbed by the hair follicle. Energy from the laser is turned into heat. In turn, this heat destroys the hair follicle. Skin surrounding the treated area is left unaffected by the laser. Laser beams do not penetrate beyond the second layer of skin or the dermis. Beams do not have the strength to reach organs of the body; therefore, laser hair removal is thoroughly safe. Following a series of laser hair removal treatments, hair follicles are rendered sterile. This prevents further growth of hair. Hairs do, however, grow back. They are much finer and lighter. An individual's skin will be hair free and smooth for about six weeks. Most people will need around eight treatments to be nearly ninety percent hair free. After this point, they will need to have around three maintenance treatments a year.

Additional Information

With laser hair removal, there is no chance of ingrown follicles or folliculitis. Many individuals suffer with folliculitis after shaving. Ingrown hairs may appear to look like acne. They are red bumps that are raised to some degree. Sometimes they appear to flare-up or look like whiteheads. This is caused by the hair growing under a person's skin. When this happens, a pore becomes blocked and bacteria begin to grow. With laser treatment, the hair and bacteria are destroyed. Therefore, folliculitis does not occur.

Even large areas of the body can be treated with laser hair removal treatments. Legs and arms are the areas that respond the quickest to treatments. Large areas can receive treatment in one session. Both men and women use laser hair removal treatments. Men often have the hair from their backs and chests removed in this manner. Most individuals find that the winter months are the best time to start having laser treatments. There is minimal exposure to the sun during this time period.

There are very few, if any, side effects to having laser hair removal treatments. Individuals considering laser treatments of this nature should choose a reputable physician to perform the technique. Before beginning treatments, individuals should thoroughly discuss the procedures with their physician. They should feel free to discuss any questions or concerns about laser hair removal as well.
