Ideal candidates for Laser Hair Reduction

The suitability of the candidates for laser hair reduction depends upon several factors including:

• Hair and skin type: Individuals with contrasting colors of the skin and hair i.e. dark hair and light color skin are best candidates for laser hair removal procedure as lasers can easily target the melanin of hair instead of the skin. The procedure is not effective on fine, light hair like gray, blonde, or white hair. 
• The area to be treated: Laser hair removal is excellent for larger areas covered with excess hair. It is best for clusters or groupings of hair that are to be permanently removed than for the occasional undesirable hair showing scattered growth on the body parts. 
• Health status: The candidates must be in good general health without any health conditions that may cause complications or make the laser hair removal treatment unsuccessful. These conditions include raised moles, wound healing issues, history of melanoma, cold sores, sun tanned skin, active infections, herpetic, open, or suspicious lesions; raised moles, keloid scars, autoimmune diseases like lupus, vitiligo, and scleroderma. Anyone who has permanent tattoos or make-up in their treatment area or has recently been on some medication or had cutaneous viral infection is a candidate who should take opinion from the doctor before starting the procedure of laser hair reduction. Pregnant and lactating women are usually recommended to forgo laser hair reduction just as a caution to keep their babies safe. People who have an ingrown hair, razor rash, chemical burns, razor burn, or irritation as reactions to conventional hair removal methods are recommended to undergo laser hair removal to protect and preserve their skin integrity.

Pre-Requisites for Laser Hair Reduction

• Avoid using any skin irritants. 
• Do not wax or pluck the unwanted hair, instead shave long hair prior to the laser hair removal procedure. 
• Stay away from the direct sun exposure for a month beforehand. Also, wear broad-spectrum sunscreens daily with SPF 30 or above to avoid sun tanning. 
• Avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medications or blood thinners.

What to Expect?
Prior to the laser hair reduction procedure in Rajouri Garden (West Delhi) and Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), at Dadu Medical Centre in Delhi the candidate is asked to wear eye protection to prevent harming their eyes from lasers throughout the treatment session. The area to be treated is cleansed properly and may be numbed with a local anesthetic depending on the site. 

The procedure starts with the application of cooling gel and placing of the handheld laser device against the skin surface of the area to be treated and activating the laser. As the laser light focuses onto the targeted hair, most candidates report each laser pulse to feel like a warm pin prickling sensation or a hot rubber band snapping against the skin. The cooling device built inside the laser is used as an aide to soothe the skin during the entire procedure. 

There is a wide range of lasers that can help get rid of unwanted hair by precisely acting on the selected area and leaving the surrounding skin or tissues undamaged. These include Alexandrite Laser, Diode Laser, and Triple wavelength laser. For the Alexandrite laser, the typically employed setting for hair removal includes pulse durations of 2-20 milliseconds and fluences of 10-40 J/cm2. Diode lasers project light of wavelength around 880nm (falling in the visible or infrared range) to allow deep penetration and superior melanin absorption. However, the best among all is the Soprano Titanium laser which makes use of triple wavelengths and is operated on multiple modes to virtually painlessly remove unwanted coarse or fine hair for all skin tones at any time of the year. The soprano titanium laser hair reduction procedure is super-quick for large body areas and is perfect for hard-to-reach and sensitive body areas.  

The procedure is associated with minimal recovery time and candidates can resume their normal routine immediately after the procedure. Following laser hair removal, the candidates can expect to see a reduction in the number of extra hair in the treated area. After 2-8 weeks of the procedure, a noticeable increase in hair growth can be noticed in the treated area as all hair follicles do not fall in the growth phase of the hair growth cycle so they do not get affected equally by the laser. Mostly, candidates can experience mild hair reduction after the first laser session, but to achieve visible and long lasting results 3-8 sessions are needed. Furthermore, the results are maintained by yearly maintainance sessions.
