In the early 2000s, electrolysis was the only hair-removal procedure that targeted individual hairs and could be performed in a medical office. However, thanks to advancements in technology, laser hair removal has become a more affordable and accessible treatment option for many people today.

 Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure—not medically necessary or required—that can be an effective way to reduce the visibility of unwanted body hair. The procedure works by using light energy from a laser to destroy the dark pigment found in hair follicles without affecting surrounding skin tissue.

In this article Dr. Deepesh Goyal, one of the best cosmetic surgeon in Jaipur will be talking about laser hair removal.

What does laser hair removal do?

The goal of laser hair removal is to permanently reduce the amount of hair that grows on your body. The laser targets the melanin in the hair follicle, which is the root of the hair growth process. When the follicle is damaged, the hair that would have come from that follicle never grows back. While this is a simple explanation, there is a bit more to the science of laser hair removal. To grow, hairs need to be fed by a temporary structure called a follicle. When laser hair removal works, it targets the follicles that grow hair on the body. The laser disrupts the DNA in the follicles and causes the follicles to shrink and shrivel. When the follicle shrinks, it can no longer produce hair. Laser hair removal is not a quick process. It may take several sessions to fully treat large areas of hair growth. 

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair follicle, the root of your hair that grows and re-grows. Hair follicles, like all cells, contain tiny structures called mitochondria that produce energy for the cell. Cells use this energy to grow and re-grow as part of the natural hair-growth process. During your laser hair removal treatment, a device directs laser energy into the hair follicle, where it disrupts the mitochondria. The mitochondria can’t function normally once they’ve been disrupted, so they can’t produce the energy necessary for the follicle to grow new hair. The follicle shrinks and eventually becomes so small that it stops growing hair altogether.

Is laser hair removal safe?

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a qualified practitioner. The Food and Drug Administration has approved laser hair removal devices for home use, but only certain devices have been approved for use in medical offices. Because these devices are medical devices, the FDA regulates their manufacturing, design and operation. Laser hair removal devices should come with an operator manual and a safety guide. You should speak with your medical provider about the risks of laser hair removal before the procedure.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

The cost of laser hair removal varies. In general, procedures performed on larger areas such as the back or legs cost more than those performed on smaller areas like the underarms or upper lip. Laser hair removal is a procedure that requires multiple visits, so you’ll need to plan on paying for several treatments, says Dr. Deepesh Goyal, one of the best cosmetic surgeon in Jaipur.

The average cost of Laser Hair Removal in India is  approximately INR Rs. 10k -11k. The maximum charge for Laser Hair Removal in India is up to INR Rs. 49,500.

Who can benefit from laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is ideal for people who want to reduce the visibility of unwanted body hair. The procedure works best on people with dark hair and fair skin. Because hair grows in different patterns on different people, laser hair removal is only effective on areas where hair is distributed in a way that can be targeted by the laser light. In general, the procedure works best for people with coarse, dark hair on their legs (or other areas of the body like the back or abdomen), people with light skin, and people whose skin is not sensitive to the heat generated by the laser treatment, says Dr. Deepesh Goyal, one of the best cosmetic surgeon in Jaipur.

Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal

Again, side effects are rare, but you may experience some itching or mild discomfort during your treatment. The discomfort is caused by the heat generated by the laser device during treatment. You may also experience redness or swelling after your treatment. This typically goes away within a few hours. If treated correctly, laser hair removal is a safe and effective procedure. It can be used to treat almost any area of the body, including the face, chest, back, arms, and legs.

Conclusion

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that can reduce the visibility of unwanted hair for years to come.

Dr. Deepesh Goyal, one of the best cosmetic surgeon in Jaipur, says although the procedure is generally safe, it’s important to note that it is not suitable for everyone. Laser hair removal is best for people with dark hair, light skin, and coarse hair. Moreover, the procedure requires multiple visits, so it’s best to start it early.
