Laser Hair Removal Cost In Raipur

Laser hair removal is a revolutionary scientific treatment which focuses on destroying the hair follicle or the root of the hair thus reducing its growth permanently.

It is a highly advanced procedure in which laser light is fired on the skin surface which is absorbed by the hair follicle, generating heat and destroying the hair from within.

It is a fairly safe procedure and the result depends on the quality of the laser which is used. One should search for centers which have high end machines to avoid any procedure related side effects. Getting laser hair reduction done from salons and parlors should be avoided at all cost and the procedure should only be done under the guidance of a dermatologist as they have the best knowledge regarding the skin and appendages.

What is the procedure of laser hair reduction?
+

During treatment, the area to be treated is shaved and cleaned. Markings are done to define the area correctly. Then a light-based system emits bright light flashes into the skin where the unwanted hair resides. The hair follicles absorb the light energy, heat up, and are damaged. The procedure is completely painless and comfortable. It is quick and has no effects.
What is the science behind it?
+

Laser hair removal works on the principle of SELECTIVE PHOTOTHERMOLYSIS which means the laser light is absorbed selectively by the melanocytes present in the hair roots and it destroys the hair follicle by generating heat. The hair is only destroyed if it is in the growth phase of its cycle. Each hair in your body can be at a different stage in the growth cycle at any given time. Thus, to target the hair during the anagen phase, multiple laser treatments are necessary to target the numerous hair follicles during their growth stage.
