DOWNSIDES OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL

The Process of Laser Hair Removal

I suggest this effective hair removal process;

Prepare for the session by following your doctor’s instructions, including avoiding contact with the sun, brightening your skin, shaving before laser removal, and restraining from using certain hair products or medications.

Laser hair removal entails; a doctor placing the laser on your skin connected to a cooling feature. The laser is then turned on, emitting laser lights that are changed to powerful beams to start damaging the unwanted ingrown hair follicles.

 Why It’s So Popular

Laser hair removal is among the top beauty trends as people love how it functions in removing unwanted ingrown hair on shaved areas and leaves a clean, smooth skin surface. It’s widely preferred as its offers an effective alternative to waxing or shaving, and for longer periods; hence it solves the problem of shaving or waxing regularly.

 The Potential Downsides

The downsides differ depending on hair color, the treatment method, and skin type. The common after effects of laser hair removal are temporary skin irritation such as swelling, skin pigmentation characterized by dark spots and redness.

 What You Should Be Doing Instead

I recommend that you try threading, waxing, electrolysis, or chemical depilatory if laser hair removal does not work.
