Laser hair removal is a great way to remove hair and stay looking good. There are a lot of people who avoid laser hair removal because they are worried about their skin. However, treatment can also be done on people with sensitive skin. This blog will look at how you can use laser hair removal for sensitive skin.
How laser hair removal works?
Laser hair removal is an effective technique for permanently removing unwanted hair. It uses light energy to target hair follicles and destroy them. The invisible, intense light pulses of the laser penetrate the skin, targeting those hair follicles and destroy them. This type of hair removal works well on people with sensitive skin because it is less traumatic. It works well for all skin types, but it is especially effective for dark hair on fair skin.
What about Pain?
Laser hair removal works on any skin type and you will have almost the same results on any types of skin. If you are a person with sensitive skin, then laser hair removal is best solution for you when comparing with other hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing etc. It doesn’t harm your skin and it leaves your skin looking healthier. If pain is the main concern then don’t worry because this is less painful when comparing with other hair removal methods. During treatment even if you have sensitive skin you will feel like being snapped by a rubber band. However there will be a little more pain when you will be getting treatment on your sensitive parts that can also be avoided by applying numbing cream before the treatment and soothing gel after treatment.
Patch test before treatment
Laser hair removal is not as effective for finer hair, but it can help with other types of hair for sensitive skin.
