Laser hair removal. You have probably heard of the treatment but how much do you know about it?

Side effects
Unlike waxing, shaving and other hair removal methods, laser hair removal has minimal side effects. Yes, you might encounter some discomfort during this procedure, but the treatment does not hurt. After the surgery, you might notice that your skin has some signs of irritation, but these will go away within a few days. These signs include swelling, redness, tingling, and itching. In most cases, these side effects go away within a couple of hours. You may also notice that the skin feels delicate to the touch immediately after the treatment.
Rare side effects of the treatment include crusting, scarring and blistering. All in all, most people recover from the procedure with no complications. The recovery period is concise so you can just book a session during the lunch break and get back to work without any problem.
Can it cause cancer?
The fear that most people have but the truth is laser hair removal does not cause cancer. This is because the machine relies on concentrated light energy to remove the hair. The light energy doesn’t affect the cells on a molecular level and is because it is non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation can’t cause the molecules to break and therefore doesn’t cause mutations. You can learn more about these machines and how they work before getting laser hair removal treatment in London.
Can it cause infertility?
Laser hair removal doesn’t cause infertility. You shouldn’t be concerned about fertility when considering laser hair removal on your bikini line. Laser hair removal doesn’t go deep through the body tissues and therefore cannot affect your ovaries. What is more is that the laser controlled so that it only targets hair follicles. It can’t pass through your abdominal wall.
In addition to that, the laser made of light energy. This energy is incapable of causing molecules to break, so it doesn’t affect the cells or DNA. All in all, if you are pregnant, it is good to delay the treatment until later. You should postpone the therapy if you are breastfeeding and is because there is not enough research on whether laser hair removal can affect an unborn or breastfeeding baby.
Is it painful?
Laser hair removal isn’t painful. There is some level of discomfort throughout the treatment, but it is not painful.
Laser hair removal is safer than most hair removal methods. It is also safe for use on the face. However, you should not use this treatment in areas that are too close to your eyes and means the procedure shouldn’t be used on the eyebrows. Adequate eye protection needs to be worn regardless of the part of the body that is being treated.
