What Is The Whole Process of Laser Hair Removal Treatment? （1）

As a safe and efficient way of hair removal, laser hair removal is becoming more and more popular. But for those who try it for the first time, they will inevitably be curious about what the whole treatment process is like. In fact, laser hair removal is a process of "preoperative preparation-intraoperative operation-postoperative care", and each link has clear operating specifications and precautions. Let me break down the complete process of laser hair removal for you in detail.

Before treatment:

(Being prepared is half the battle)

Laser hair removal is not a "come and go" project. Whether the preoperative preparation is in place directly affects the treatment effect and safety.

Pre-consultation and skin testing

First, a professional doctor will consult with you to understand your skin condition (such as whether it is sensitive skin, whether there is a scar physique), hair condition, and whether you have a history of allergies, skin diseases, or take special medications (such as photosensitivity drugs). This information can help the doctor determine whether you are suitable for laser hair removal.

(Be sure to tell your doctor if you have a history of sun exposure recently. Hair removal is not recommended within a week before and after sun exposure to avoid excessive thermal damage to the skin)

Then, the doctor will use professional instruments to detect your skin condition and hair follicle activity, and then formulate a personalized treatment plan based on the test results, including selecting laser type, setting energy parameters, and estimating the number of treatments.

Taboos before treatment

In order to avoid pigmentation or burns during treatment, you need to make these preparations before surgery:

• Stop plucking hair, waxing hair removal, etc.

  Because laser targets hair follicles, plucking hair will damage hair follicles and affect the effect;

• Avoid sun exposure or tanning.

  After the skin is exposed to the sun, the pigment is active and it is easy to be accidentally injured by the laser, resulting in pigmentation;

• If there are wounds, inflammation or rashes on the treatment site, you need to wait until it is fully recovered before treatment.

During treatment

The process of laser hair removal is not complicated. The whole treatment process is comfortable and controllable, and there is no need to be overly nervous.

(In summer, the skin temperature of customers is high after they arrive at the store. It is recommended to apply cold compress before operation. If the operation is performed directly, it may cause burns or temporary pigmentation due to excessive heat accumulation)

• First, the medical staff will help you clean the skin of the treatment area to remove grease and dirt;

  Then use a disposable razor to shave the visible hair on the surface

(This step is to allow the laser to act more directly on the hair follicles and reduce the skin burns caused by the surface hair absorbing laser energy).

• Secondly, the doctor will apply a layer of cold gel on the skin.

(One is to cool down and reduce the thermal stimulation of the laser on the skin; the other is to act as a medium to help the laser energy be transmitted to the hair follicles more evenly)

• Then, the doctor will perform a small-scale test in the "test area" of the treatment area according to your skin type and hair condition, observe the skin reaction (such as whether there is redness, swelling, or stinging), and fine-tune the laser energy, pulse width and other parameters accordingly to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective.

• After everything is ready, the doctor holds the treatment head and aims it at the hair removal area and starts to emit laser. At this time, you may feel a slight "warmth", which is very mild and most people can bear it.

The treatment time varies depending on the part of the body. The hair removal time varies greatly from part to part. It may take 3-5 minutes for a small area and 10-15 minutes for a large area.

During the treatment, the doctor will ask you how you feel at any time. If you feel obvious pain, you can inform the doctor to adjust the parameters in time.
