laser hair removal - suitability

WILL LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK FOR YOU?

Skin type

 People with fairer skin tones are the best candidates for laser hair removal.  This is because the laser targets melanin in the hair which is also present in skin and can damage darker skin where lots of melanin is present.

 

 

Colour and texture of hair

  •  Dark and coarse hair is the best candidate for laser hair removal.  Very fair or white hair will not respond to treatment as there is no melanin in the hair for the laser to target.
  •  
  • Suntanned skin  

  • Wait until sun tan has faded or the laser will pick up in the extra melanin present in the skin.
  •  
  • Comfort  

  • Typically, the treatment tends to be more comfortable for people with lighter skin and finer hair.  The LightSheer system as a unique patented cooling head, the ChilliTip, which helps protect the skin by cooling the skin during laser delivery. This also makes it virtually pain free although everyones pain threshold is different.
  •  
  • Certain conditions and medications  

  • Some antibiotics and other medication such as roaccutane, St john’s Wort,  Gold salts etc are photosensitizing so must not be used during treatment. A history of hypertrophic scarring or keloid  formation

 

Conclusion

The absolute requirement of laser hair removal candidate is that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin
Pale skin with dark coarse hair will have the best results of Laser hair removal.
Skin must not have a sun tan or fake tan.  Light hair will not have a good result.
