Facial Hair Reduction In Delhi

Although there are different methods for removing unwanted facial hair, such as waxing, shaving, tweezing etc., laser technology is most popularly used nowadays. The former traditional methods being messy, painful, and less effective, people are now switching to laser technology for hair removal. Excessive facial hair growth can occur due to hormonal changes in the body, or it could be genetic. Laser hair reduction helps to remove facial hair, and it also saves the repeated time otherwise spent in shaving and waxing since it gives long-term relief from hair growth.

Females can undergo laser hair reduction to remove coarse dark hair from the chin, side of the cheeks, upper lips or any other body parts. The laser treatment also removes excess hair growth. Males can undergo laser hair reduction treatment for beard shaping, removing excess hair from ears and cheeks.

For facial hair removal, a beam of laser light is used that targets the hair follicles under the skin and reduces hair growth permanently. It is an advanced medical procedure that needs to be performed by experts. An appropriate wavelength energy laser beam is targeted, which is absorbed by the pigments present in the hair follicle. The light (laser) gets converted to heat that damages the hair follicles, that inhibits and delays the hair growth. But the dormant follicles remain unaffected by the laser beam, and that could lead to re-growth of hair. To achieve optimum results, a full course of treatment is necessary so as to damage all the hair follicles (dormant ones that mature after some time) with time.

Paradoxical Hypertrichosis
It is an increase in hair density, colour or coarseness or combination of these at treated sites in the absence of any other known cause of hypertrichosis. It is more common with older technologies with low fluences. It can be avoided with use of triple wavelength technology, high fluence, short pulse duration and increased cooling. 

Trichostasis Spinulosa 
It is a follicular disorder characterised by the retention of multiple vellus hairs in a hypertrichosis dilated hair follicle. Most common site is nose. It occurs sporadically, but many trigger factors have been identified. These include topical minoxidil topical steroids. 

It improves with laser hair reduction and significant improvement is seen after 2-3 sessions.

Procedure of Facial Laser Hair Removal
The laser technician first cleans the face of the patient thoroughly, and numbing gel is applied mostly for bikini area. It takes 30 minutes for the gel to show its effect. Protective eye shields are compulsory for both the doctor and the customer. It is concluded from the remarks of patients that this technique is not as painful, but the skin feels a slight stingy sensation when the laser beam touches the skin. To reduce this discomfort during laser treatment, cooling aids are applied to the skin from time to time. As the follicles get damaged by heat, the root cells die and vaporize.

This technique of hair removal is very popular now because it gives long-lasting results. After the complete treatment, the hair will not grow back, but the client may need the maintenance appointment 2-3 times yearly. It requires approximately 6-8 to begin with the laser treatments at the interval of 4-8 weeks to get effective permanent results. Initial 2-3 sessions are at approximately 1 month gap (can be more depending on hair growth), later the gap increases as hair growth slows.
