Laser leg hair removal is an advanced procedure that involves the use of a laser beam to reduce hair growth. Dermatologists use various types of lasers for leg hair removal treatment in India. After carefully analysing the skin and hair, a skin specialist decides the suitable procedure and parameters to be used for an individual.
Laser leg hair removal treatment involves the use of a device that focuses the laser beam of a specific wavelength on a target area. The procedure uses selective photothermolysis in which specific pulse duration and wavelength of light matches the melanin pigment present in the hair follicle.
The light absorbed by the melanin pigment converts into heat thereby damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting its growth. Since the hair follicle goes through different growth stages, your dermatologist will schedule laser sessions after every 6 to 8 weeks to ensure removal of hair during its active growth phase to get optimal results. During the procedure, skin therapist will precisely focus the laser beam on the target area to ensure the surrounding skin remains unharmed making it a comfortable experience.
