What is laser hair reduction?
Laser hair reduction is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to significantly reduce unwanted hair from virtually any area of the body. By using concentrated beams of light, the laser targets and destroys hair follicles at their root, preventing future growth without damaging the surrounding skin. This treatment is both safe and effective for reducing hair on areas like the legs, underarms, face, and bikini line, providing long-lasting results.
Am I a candidate?
Laser hair reduction is ideal for those looking to avoid the hassle of regular shaving, waxing, or plucking, and is a more permanent solution for smooth, hair-free skin. At Privvy Modern Health, we use advanced laser technology to help you achieve the silky, stubble-free skin you’ve always wanted. Cutera Xeo is suitable for various skin tones and hair types.
Understanding hair growth cycles
Understanding the hair growth cycle is key to appreciating how laser hair removal works. Hair grows in four stages: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), telogen (resting), and exogen (shedding). The best time for laser treatment is during the anagen phase when hair is actively growing. This phase can last anywhere from 1.5 to 3 years, but not all hair follicles are in the anagen phase at the same time. This is why multiple treatment sessions are necessary to effectively target and reduce hair growth across all follicles.
How many sessions are required?
The number of laser hair reduction sessions needed can differ for each individual, based on factors like hair density, color, and growth cycle. Typically, most people require around six sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the best results. This timing ensures that hairs are treated as they enter the anagen phase, allowing for a more complete reduction in hair growth over time.
What can I expect during laser hair reduction?
Laser hair reduction is a fast, minimally invasive procedure. Using the Cutera Xeo Laser, a concentrated beam of light is directed at the hair follicle, where the pigment (melanin) absorbs the light. This light energy is converted into heat, damaging the follicle and preventing future hair growth.
During treatment, patients often describe the sensation as a mild snapping, similar to a light rubber band flick on the skin. To enhance comfort, the Cutera Xeo Laser includes a cooled handpiece that cools the skin before, during, and after each pulse of light. Most patients find the procedure tolerable, though a topical numbing cream is available for those with more sensitive skin.
What post-treatment care is needed?
After each laser hair reduction session, it’s common to experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. To protect the treated skin, it’s essential to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen, as the skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.
Throughout the treatment series, patients will notice a significant reduction in hair growth, with any remaining hair becoming finer and lighter. While laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, occasional maintenance sessions may be necessary to address new hair growth due to hormonal changes or other factors.
