Laser Hair Removal As Answer To Hirsutism Or Excessive Hair Growth In Women
Sometimes you grow it just above your upper lip, making you look like you’re sporting a moustache. Sometimes, you grow it on your legs. Other times on your armpit.
Excessive hair growth in women or hirsutism is an ugly dilemma. Instead of being appreciated for your fair and flawless skin, people notice how you look much like a man because of the strange looking hair appearing on parts of your body. Laser hair removal which uses laser heat to remove the growth of the hair on unwanted areas of the body, is posed as a solution to hirsutism.
The latest hair removal technology makes use of The Sciton® Broad Band Light hair reduction module to effectively reduce hair load and regrowth within 4-8 treatments upwards. The BBL is a painless procedure that has no downtime. A doctor applies a cold gel onto the area before the laser light is released. The sensation of a rubber band snapping on cold skin is felt. The doctor can also increase the energy from the laser according to the patient’s request.
The BBL hair removal technology only requires 10 minutes per session for fine hair in the upper lip and in each armpit, and 30 minutes for leg hairs. The patient instantly notices hair reduction on the first session of the treatment. And after fulfilling the complete treatment, permanent hair reduction is the result.
Certainly, patients are pleased to see the difference. They are also pleased to know that the ugly hair they had to wax, shave, or conceal with other means are now permanently reduced.
Hair grows over years, and it is natural that years later, fine hair may start to reappear. This time, patients may well be advised to visit a derma clinic for maintenance. The sessions will definitely be shorter just to keep the fine hair from being visible again.
