[Doctor's Column] The Complete Guide to Laser Hair Removal | From Principles to Post-Treatment Care at a Glance

 

What are the differences in the principles of hair removal?

Hair removal methods are broadly divided into two types.

▲ Physical hair removal

Hair removal methods, such as shaving or waxing, involve physically cutting or plucking hair. Shaving is simple, removing only the hair on the surface of the skin, but requires frequent use and can cause micro-injuries. Waxing removes the hair root, slowing its growth but also carries the risk of pain, irritation, and folliculitis.
▲Laser hair removal

Laser light is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicle and destroys the hair root with heat. This is how it is done.
It is difficult to remove all hair with one treatment, but if you repeat the treatment several times, the hair roots will be weakened, so you can expect a semi-permanent hair removal effect.

 

Hair growth cycle and treatment intervals

Hair repeats a certain cycle of growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase. Since the laser only effectively reacts to hair roots in the growth phase, it is difficult to remove all hair in one treatment. Therefore, Repeat treatment at intervals of approximately 4 weeks for each area This is necessary, After 5-6 sessions, hair will noticeably decrease and become thinner. The appropriate interval and number of times may vary depending on skin tone, hair thickness, and characteristics of each area. It is most important to set a customized cycle after consulting with a specialist. do.
