Hair Removal

This centre employs a brand new Soprano Diode painless Hair Removal laser which has been in operation for the last three months. Earlier hundred of clients had completed treatment to their satisfaction with the Lumenis Diode Laser. In each case the history of the patients is obtained to separate familial hair growth from hirsuitism caused by hormonal imbalance, especially Polycystic Ovary Disease.

The procedure consists of shaving the hairs, chilling the skin by blowing cold air and then placing the chilled sapphire tip on the skin and moving the hand piece in symmetrical fashion while triggering the laser with the desired power levels. Higher power is used for fair skin patients, moderate power for wheat skinned patients and low power for dark skinned patients. Large areas of skin can be completed within half an hour. Post treatment redness will persist for a few hours. Normally four sessions are required at monthly intervals. Upto ninety percent reduction in quantity of hairs can be achieved.

There is slight risk of superficial burns in dark skinned individuals which is temporary and fades with the use of depigmenting creams and sunscreens within a short period of time

Post operative care would require avoiding unnecessary sunlight and meticulous use of sunscreens. Patients are advised not to bleach their hairs, wax or thread in the monthly intervals between the procedure.
