This is the fifth report in a series of 7 that talks about some laser hair removal questions that many of my friends and relatives have asked me about.
What are the possible risks and side effects of laser hair removal? The side effects of laser hair removal are almost always temporary. Normal side effects involve skin irritation, skin discoloring (pink or red), itching or skin dryness, swelling in the area, and there may be some pain or tingling in the area. Side effects that are more rare, yet must still be taken into consideration, are ingrown hairs, skin infections, hyper pigmentation (when the skin becomes darker), hypo pigmentation (skin becomes lighter) and bruising. Most side effects are temporary, but in a few cases, side effects can be permanent. This is why it is so critical to find a qualified laser hair removal specialist.
How should I prepare for this a laser hair removal procedure? Each patient should consult with their doctor, dermatologist or specialist to ensure the procedure will work for them. If you decide to move forward, photographs from various angles should be taken to properly educate the physician on the area that is to be treated. If the patient is tanned or has been exposed to excessive sunlight, the procedure cannot take effect until the skin has returned to its natural state. In addition, most patients are advised not to use hair grooming products like gels, pomades, waxes, etc. up to three-four weeks before the procedure takes place. No bleaching of hair should take place for several weeks as well. The patient should shave the area in such a way that stubble shows the day of the procedure.
What should I expect after treatment? After each treatment, the patient should avoid direct sunlight for a few days. The patient should also avoid direct contact with the skin in the affected area because it will still be tender for a few days. Still the patient can go about their daily or nightly activities as before as long as they take the necessary precautions. Doctors can also prescribe skin treatments and soothers that facilitate skin healing and minimize irritation after the procedure as well.
