Simple And Painless Laser Hair Removal Procedures

Hair removal has become one of the most common forms of cosmetic treatments available

, and many people have now turned to various laser hair treatments as well. While the very idea of laser indicates that light and heat are involved, it immediately raises a question for many patients who have not undergone laser hair removal treatment in the past: How much will it hurt?

When making a visit to your South Bay Medical Spa center, the staff will tell you that they have performed many laser hair removal treatments, and that the procedure itself is indeed quite painless. The process itself involves using the laser to heat up the areas of dark pigmentation which the laser has specifically targeted. The heat generated by the laser damages the hair follicle, causing it to displace itself from the skin. While heat is involved, the patient receiving the treatments does not experience any pain from the laser treatment.

While the vast majority of patients who have received laser hair removal treatments reported no pain either during or after the procedure, there is a minute number of patients who may experience some redness or swelling after the procedure, which should dissipate within 48 to 72 hours.

Some patients who visit the South Bay Medical Spa may ask about side effects associated with laser hair removal treatments. While there are a few possible side effects, they are largely determined by different factors, which can include the color of your skin and overall skin sensitivity. In some cases depending on sensitivity, additional scabbing or blistering could occur, as well as redness and swelling. However, most patients have reported that it's more of a nuisance rather than a numbing type of pain.

Because side effects have generally been associated with certain skin types, the side effects themselves can be predicted beforehand by skin care specialists, so the vast majority of patients will know the effects before undergoing treatments. Visiting with your skin care specialist before treatments are performed will be necessary in order to determine if side effects could possibly manifest themselves.

There are simple treatments that can also minimize the effects of any pain experienced after a laser hair removal procedure. Application of ice and can minimize pain, and anti-inflammatory medication may be required to decrease the amount of swelling in the affected area. Consult with your skin care specialist if you are experiencing any side effects after your procedure, and they will recommend a course of action to alleviate any pain or swelling.
