Effectiveness Of Laser Hair Removal

Traditional methods of hair removal, such as plucking, shaving and waxing, only provide temporary results. People with poor circulation, diabetes or varicose veins are advised not to wax. They are more likely to get infected.

Laser Hair Removal DC  is safe and effective. It does not damage the delicate skin structures or pores. Laser light emits a beam that travels through the skin to the hair's follicles, where it is absorbed. The laser energy transforms into heat. The laser energy is converted into heat, which causes the hair follicle to be destroyed. The second layer of skin, the dermis, is not accessible by the laser beam. The laser beam cannot penetrate beyond the dermis (second layer of skin) so it is totally safe. Hair will become lighter and finer after each treatment. Between treatments, skin will be smooth and hair free for as long as 6 weeks.

To achieve hair loss of 90%, it takes between 6-8 treatments. 2-3 maintenance visits per year are recommended. Laser hair removal is a more effective option.

What are the problems people have with shaving?

Ingrown hairs, red bumps and minor bleeding are some of the most common side effects of waxing.

A razor cuts hair thicker than if it was cut at an angle. The hair also feels more stubby as it grows back. Stubbly hair can appear thicker. A shaved head can make the hair appear thicker. Regrowth is usually within 2 to 3 days.

Other drawbacks include red shaving bumps. Red shaving bumps are common because of oil glands attached nerve endings.

Laser hair removal won't cause ingrown hairs

Ingrown hairs often resemble acne. They are identified by red bumps that can sometimes flare up or whiteheads. The hair grows underneath the skin and blocks the pores, allowing bacteria to grow, causing a pimple.
