Laser Beard Shaping Treatment in Delhi

Laser hair removal is not just a women's thing, but now people totally go with the thought that men could also avail laser hair treatment benefits to remove unwanted hair. Many men feel self-conscious about their excessive and unwanted facial hair growth, and with laser treatment, they can get a clean shave-like appearance.

Say no to Folliculitis with Laser Beard Shaping
Folliculitis is a skin condition when hair follicles become infected due to open pores (sometimes caused by repeated shaving). It causes small bumps like pimples. To avoid this condition, especially in men, laser treatment for beard in areas where the person does not want any hair growth can be used effectively. So, besides providing a well-defined beard shape, it holds medical importance as well. Hair growth depends upon the body's hormonal level, as beard growth depends upon the testosterone level of the male body. Considering that, some men have more beard growth than others. But every one of them needs to shave off the beard below the jawline (spreading all over the neck) and above the cheekbone (which may be an eyesore). The skin is soft and more prone to cuts in the neck region, so the person tries to avoid shaving daily and seeks convenient alternatives. The long-term solution to these problems is quite fast and convenient, beard shaping laser technology.

How does Laser Beard Shaping work? 
A beam of laser light (at low energy) is targeted at hair follicles to destroy them permanently. Trained laser technicians are required to perform this procedure. The laser beam, absorbed by the hair pigments, gets converted into heat to permanently damage hair follicles. This procedure works only on growing hair follicles. 

Generally, 6-8 sessions are required to get a complete result as the dormant hair follicles, which remain unaffected by the laser beam, grow back in some time. The dermatologist needs complete information about the beard's style, shape, and line to be removed. 

Protective eye shields are very important for the patient as well as the doctor. The head and the beard area, which are not to be targeted, are covered carefully.

This procedure is not painful, although some discomforts are experienced during treatment that does not hurt afterward. Only some stingy sensation is observed when the laser is applied, or it feels like snapping if there are many rubber bands on the skin. 

The patient requires at least 6-8 sessions, the first 2-3 sessions are required at 1-month intervals, for complete and effective results, but the number of sessions could vary from person to person. Since every man has variable testosterone levels, so hair growth also varies accordingly, and therefore some may require more sessions accordingly.

Men with dark hair and light skin are ideal candidates for this treatment because dark hair has more pigment (to absorb laser beams) than light hair. Similarly, light skin color is ideal because it absorbs the lesser laser light and transmits more to give a more effective result.
