Laser hair reduction has become one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures all over the world. The word laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation The phrase “long term hair reduction” should be used rather than permanent hair removal as the global experience of Laser and light-based technology is hardly two decades old.
First of all we should understand the various indications or needs for laser hair reduction like-
- Removal of unwanted hair on the body for COSMETIC REASONS in a patient aged 15 years or older.
- Hirsutism , PCOD
- Removal of hair for medical treatment purpose, e.g ., sycosis barbae/pseudofolliculitis where hair are not unwanted, but can be removed for therapeutic reasons.
Along with this we should also take along the contraindications which are – the patient is less than 15 years of age, any active infection in the treatment area like herpes, styphylococcus etc
In the Indian context Laser Hair reduction is a fairly popular procedure but patients still carry a lot of apprehension about pain, hair regrowth and skin pigmentation thus patient education and counselling is very important along with addressing the patient’s expectations . LHR is totally safe for all skin types , hair thickness and has no adverse effects .
There are many hair reduction systems available but in this article I will be talking about primelase HR EXCELLENCE, it is the most powerful, quickest, and most efficient laser hair removal device on the market.
Having 3 applicators, Alex(755nm), Diode810nm) and Blend(1060nm,810nm & 940nm), which provide maximum versatility and the best results for every skin tone .
Primelase HR is the latest and greatest in the aesthetic medicine field.
Thanks to advanced cooling technology, this hair removal laser provides more effective results than other lasers along with a smooth and comfortable experience for my patients.
Primelase HR has two working modes that can be adjusted to patients with very dense hair or those with residual hair from prior sessions.
Primelase comes with a lot of benefits –
- Fast, comfortable laser hair reduction
- Safe & effective on all skin types
- Efficiently treats thick to light/fine hair
LHR should always be done under the watch of a dermatologist by a trained personnel with proper knowledge of the machine parameters.
On a lighter note being a woman myself I believe that LHR is a long term solution and easy on the pocket considering the amount any woman would spend on hair removal in a salon !!
