Laser Hair Removal In Gurgaon
Laser hair removal is a procedure to remove unwanted hair from the body permanently.
In this procedure a laser machine is used which emits focused laser beams to the hair bearing skin. The hair follicles(roots) absorb this laser energy, then this light energy is converted into heat energy and destroys the hair roots.
Laser does not cause any damage to the skin as the laser energy only gets absorbed by the black colour of hair follicles or roots.
It works for both men and women and it works in all parts of the body like beard, face hair, chin hair, bikini hair, underarms etc.
Around 6-8 sittings are required for complete removal of hair from a particular region.
And further 2-3 maintenance sittings might be required for hair which were not in active growth cycle during the treatment.
The results of the treatment are permanent until and unless there are some incidents where there are huge hormonal shifts especially in women like pregnancy and menopause. In these cases, there might be chances of hair regrowth.
These days there are increasing incidence of hormonal imbalance in ladies like hypothyroidism and polycystic ovarion syndrome(PCOS) which leads to increase in facial and body hair which can be very embarrassing for ladies and also cause psychological impact.
Laser hair removal is a rescue in such cases.
