Laser hair removal aims to burn the hair and destroy the bulb, that is to say the swollen region that serves as its base. When the bulb is completely destroyed, no more hair will come out. This is permanent hair removal. The laser projected directly on the skin emits heat when it comes into contact with a dark color (chestnut or brown). It can be a hair but also a microcyst or a mole. This means that white, blond or red hair cannot be laser burned.
Indeed, it has been specially designed to heat only the very dark parts in order to avoid burning the skin. Laser hair removal is a strictly medical procedure. Only certified dermatologists and aesthetic doctors are authorized by law to use the laser. Under no circumstances will the operation be carried out in a beauty salon.
Laser hair removal is certainly intended to prevent the regrowth of depilated hair, the total destruction of the bulb is rarely done in a single session. It could even be that for some people, it rebuilds itself again and the hair can grow after a while. In general, the operation requires 5 to 6 sessions of 20 to 30 minutes, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. Thus, the hair bulb is not likely to reconstitute for years.
Laser hair removal is quite an expensive operation. To permanently wax your legs, armpits and bikini line, you need to budget up to €2,000, or even more with some practitioners. But for the followers, it is worth it because this investment represents a certain saving and makes it possible to avoid wasting time, with many hair removal sessions at a beauty salon.
Laser hair removal is increasingly practiced nowadays. The number of reported incidents is relatively low, most side effects are mild and disappear after a few hours. A slight inflammation may appear on the waxed areas for 2 to 3 days. Apart from the pain which can be more or less intense depending on the sensitivity of each, the complications are also almost nil. The only risk to be feared is depigmentation of the skin, but this only occurs if laser hair removal was not made by a dedicated professional.
