The hair removal is not a current fashion. Already
in Ancient Egypt, women used to depilate their entire body (including intimate
areas), considering that the hair-free body was a beauty canon, and for this
they resorted to a paste made with sugar, water and lemon, or composed of oil
and honey, similar to the wax we now use to pluck.
A few years ago, getting rid of the unwanted hair
permanently was only a dream, and it was essential to resort regularly to
methods such as wax and blade to have a smooth and attractive skin. But these
methods, although they are still used because they are cheap and simple, have
their drawbacks. The blade should be used daily because the hair grows very
fast and, in the case of the wax, although when the root hair is removed, its
appearance is delayed, it is necessary that it reaches a minimum length to be
able to eliminate it. Some people have an additional problem and that is that
their skin gets irritated when they are waxed like this, and they have to
choose between showing their hair or having their skin full of redness, grains,
hairs embodied.
In these cases, the solution may be to opt for laser hair removal in Delhi,
a technology that was perfected in the eighties and has been used for more than
ten years, and which means being able to forget about hair for long periods of
time.
The objective of this technique is to damage the
cells that generate the hair and, in this way, delay follicular growth.
However, if what you want is to definitively eliminate the hair, experts dermatologist in Delhi in
laser hair removal will explain the real expectations to achieve it, since it
will depend on hormonal factors, the age of the patient, the degree of
pigmentation of the hair, the area to be treated.
- Advantages and disadvantages of laser hair removal
The advantages of laser
hair removal treatment in Delhi are undoubted, as it is a fast and
safe method, which keeps the skin free of hair for a long time (in many cases definitively),
and allows to depilate large areas.
In addition, it also has medical applications, and patients
with pathologies such as pseudo folliculitis or hirsutism, or those who needed
to remove skin grafts, have benefited from this technique.
However, we must not lose sight of the fact that laser hair
removal has some drawbacks:
Inconvenience
When you apply the laser, it is normal to feel a burning or
stinging sensation that, during the first two or three sessions (when the hair
is still abundant), is usually quite annoying, especially if you are shaving an
area where the skin is especially sensitive. The refrigeration systems that
incorporate some equipment reduce the pain quite a lot and, from the fourth
session, the light punctures are perfectly tolerable. In any case, pulling the
hair with wax is not pleasant either, and laser hair removal in
Dwarka has the advantage that the growth of the hair is delayed a
lot and the sessions are increasingly spaced.
You can consult the skin
specialist in Delhi the possibility of using an anaesthetic cream
if the area to be treated is very sensitive or has a high follicular density,
but it is quite cumbersome to use because you should apply it about an hour
before the session and cover the area with a plastic. As with other aesthetic
treatments, laser
hair removal in Janakpuri continues to evolve, and for the last few
years a new laser has been available, the Vectus ™, which, in addition to being
more effective for its ability to eliminate more hair per session - It makes it
ideal for large areas such as the legs-, it is practically painless because it
applies the energy in a homogeneous way avoiding annoying peaks of heat.
Rebel areas
It is important to highlight, however, that there are areas
where the hair tends to reappear insistently, as occurs with the facial area.
We have already explained that this is because during the session the active
hairs are removed, but the laser does not affect the hair follicles at rest,
which can be activated over time. Even so, getting rid of excess facial hair by
laser is still convenient, since the new hairs would come out equally with any
other depilatory method, or even if none were used.
Rebel areas of laser
hair removal
In the facial area the hair tends to reappear with greater
insistence.
Androgens or related hormones also stimulate hair growth,
both in males as they mature (thorax, abdomen, back, lower back), and in
certain women suffering from hormonal disorders (such as hyperandrogenism) and,
in those cases, Patients will require refresher sessions over time to eliminate
new hairs.
Grey hair and fine
hair
The laser does not eliminate grey hair, nor fine and light
hair. Fine hair (the most common on women's faces), does not absorb the light
emitted by the laser, even if it is something dark, and therefore the skin specialist in Dwarka
must assess the characteristics of the patient's skin to see if it is It is
possible to use the laser to depilate this type of hair in your specific case.
Dark skins
Although there are laser equipments that can be used with
relative safety on dark skin, the patient must be previously evaluated by a dermatologist in Dwarka.
In addition, the procedure may be less effective and more annoying.
In pregnancy
During pregnancy it is contraindicated to perform laser hair
removal in areas close to the abdominal and pelvic region, to avoid any
possible damage to the placenta or the foetus. In the case of areas far from
the foetus, the pregnant woman should consult her doctor beforehand, or suspend
the treatment until after the birth.
Photosensitivity
If you are taking any type of medication you should warn the
doctor to check if the drugs produce photosensitivity, as is the case with
isotretinoin. You should also notify if you are diagnosed with a new pathology
or if you are prescribed a new medication before submitting to a new session of
laser hair removal in Delhi
in case any interaction could occur.
Although the risk is minimal if the hair removal is
performed by a qualified dermatologist
in Delhi with the prior assessment, it can happen that the melanin
of the patient's skin absorbs part of the light energy destined for the hair
follicle and, as a consequence, the skin overheating and significant irritation
or even a burn.
Therefore, it is essential that you follow the recommendations
of the skin specialist in Delhi
and do not expose the skin to the sun or apply self-tanning before the
sessions, and, depending on your skin photo type, this minimum time free of sun
exposure can be even two months (in reality, the more, the better).
To reduce the risk of skin overheating, the equipment has a
built-in cooling system.
