Hair on the face ruining your special moments? Not anymore!

Laser Hair removal is a process/treatment where lasers are used to eliminate unwanted hair from the face.

The procedure can be availed on other body parts such as the bikini area, legs, arm pits. On the face, it’s primarily chin, around mouth and cheeks.

Dr. Vidushi Singal- the best dermatologist in Punjab clears the myth regarding the use of laser hair removal treatment only suitable for lighter skin and dark hair.

She further adds that the latest technology and advancement in medical science has made it possible for people with every skin tone to undergo laser surgery to get rid of those pesky hair.

How many sessions are required?

The patients would need to undergo 4 – 6 sessions that are spaced around a month apart for the complete and permanent removal of hair on the face. Exceptions are always there.

Consulting a dermatologist near you would help you exactly understand the situation and devise the best possible treatment for you.

Face hair removal by lasers may not be covered under medical insurance plans as it is an elective cosmetic procedure.

How does the treatment works?

Dr. Vidushi Singal- the well-known specialist in Laser Hair Removal in Ludhiana/ Moga/ Mullanpur shares that a beam of light through laser would be targeted into the hair follicle.

This light is absorbed by the melanin pigment present in the skin and gets converted into heat. This heat eventually damages the hair follicle. 

The hair will vaporize. Continuous sessions for laser treatment are required to ensure hair does not grow back.

Laser hair removal treatment is perfectly suited in case you have in-grown hair.

At first, it may look like an expensive option but if you compare it with the amount spent on waxing, shaving etc, it would be worth the money spent in the longer run.   

What is the procedure for laser hair removal for face?

Dr. Vidushi explains the procedure for laser hair removal for face in an easy manner.

  • The face is cleansed and a numbing gel is applied to the affected area or where the treatment is expected.
  • The patient will be given goggles to cover the eyes and the head hair will be tied properly.
  • The beam of light or the laser is now targeted at a specific area. It feels likes a sunburn and the patient may smell the scent of the burnt hair.  

The entire procedure can easily be completed in 10-15 minutes.
