The treatment is effective on the back, bikini area, fingers, arms, thighs, legs, chest, upper lip, chin, neck and, shoulders areas.
Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be cleansed and thick layers of numbing cream will be applied for at least 30 minutes.
The treatment removes hair by vaporizing the hair follicles. Many patients say
that the laser pulses are akin to warm pin pricks or a rubber band being snapped
against the skin.
Treatment duration depends on the size of the area. The upper lip
takes minutes while larger areas like the back or legs may last more than an hour.
Typically between 2 to 6 sessions are usually required to effectively remove hair. Most patients experience less hair regrowth and hair tends to be finer and lighter in color.
Shaving hair that appears in between treatments is fine but do not remove the hair by waxing, epilating or plucking from the follicle as the treatment is designed to tackle hair in its growth stage.
Dr. Ivan Puah uses only medical grade laser. It is powerful, safe and effective enough to perform laser hair removal treatment on those with both light and dark coloured skin and hair.
Minimise exposure to sun, sunbeds or self tanning as this could make hair removal treatment less effective. Skin preparations such as retinol, glycolic or acne preparations should also be avoided and certain medications will make the skin sensitive to the laser. Patients should shave before the first treatment, although not on the same day.
