Laser hair removal is a medical cosmetic procedure that uses laser beams to destroy hair follicles to reduce or permanently inhibit hair growth. The specific wavelength of the laser will be absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles and converted into heat energy, which in turn destroys the hair follicles and makes them lose their ability to grow.

Is laser hair removal painful?

The pain varies from person to person, but most people can tolerate it. It feels similar to the tingling sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin or a brief warm sensation. However, some models cause less pain during the procedure, so you can ask the clinic before going for hair removal.

Why does laser hair removal require so many treatments?

Hair growth is divided into the growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase. Laser hair removal is only effective for hair follicles in the growth phase, so multiple treatments are required to achieve long-term results.

How many times should laser hair removal be performed? How often?

The three growth cycles of hair can exist at the same time, so the laser needs to be applied in multiple times. The number of times and the time spent are determined according to the amount of hair in the area. The average number of times is at least 3 times, with an interval of about 6-4 weeks to achieve the effect of permanent hair removal.

Will hair grow back after hair removal? Why do some people still have fine hair after removal?

Laser hair removal is not a one-time permanent hair removal, but a long-term process of suppressing hair growth. Therefore, some people may still have fine hair or residual hair after completing the treatment. Lasers can only destroy hair follicles in the growth phase, but human hair does not enter the growth phase synchronously, so multiple treatments are required to cover all hair follicles.

Can laser hair removal really shrink pores?

Yes, but the results vary from person to person. After hair removal, the hair follicles are no longer active and the pores gradually shrink. It is recommended to use fruit acid and A acid to exfoliate, which can further help shrink pores and make the skin smoother and more delicate.

Common hair removal methods include laser hair removal, Japanese hair removal, hot wax removal, shaving and depilatory creams.

Laser hair removal is the most long-lasting and can inhibit hair growth and shrink pores, but it is expensive and requires multiple treatments. Japanese hair removal can suppress hair for a long time and is low pain, but you need to shave yourself first. Hot waxing can remove hair by the roots and make the skin smooth in the short term, but it is very painful during the application. Shaving is quick and cheap and suitable for temporary needs, but hair grows quickly. Hair removal creams are also quick and cheap, but they have a stronger odor and the chemical ingredients may irritate the skin.

If you are looking for long-term hair removal, you can choose laser or Japanese hair removal; for short-term smoothing, you can choose hot wax; for temporary hair removal, shaving or depilatory creams are suitable, but frequent maintenance is required. For a detailed comparison of various hair removal methods, please refer to the following table:

Laser hair removal is a long-term hair removal method. After a full course of treatment, hair growth is significantly reduced and may even achieve permanent results. Compared to shaving or using depilatory creams, it saves a lot of time and does not require daily hair removal, making it suitable for people who seek convenience and long-lasting effects. In addition, it can also reduce the occurrence of folliculitis, because razors can easily cause hair to be inserted backwards, causing redness, swelling and inflammation, while laser hair removal can effectively avoid this problem.

However, laser hair removal is expensive, with a full course of treatment potentially costing thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, and requiring 4-8 treatments, each spaced 4-6 weeks apart. In addition, some people may experience side effects such as redness, swelling, and pigmentation, especially those with darker skin. Therefore, they must do a good job of sun protection and moisturizing after the operation to reduce skin irritation and discomfort.

Advantages of laser hair removal

  • Long-lasting effect: After a full course of treatment, hair growth is reduced and may even achieve permanent results
  • Save time: no need to shave or use depilatory creams every day
  • Reduce folliculitis: Using a razor to remove hair can easily cause hair to grow backwards, which can lead to folliculitis. Laser hair removal can avoid this.

Disadvantages of laser hair removal

  • High price: A complete course of treatment costs thousands to tens of thousands of yuan
  • Multiple treatments are required: usually 4-8 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart
  • Possible side effects: redness, swelling, pigmentation (especially for those with darker skin), sun protection and moisturizing are required after surgery

Laser hair removal is particularly suitable for people who are prone to ingrown hairs and folliculitis, and can effectively reduce inflammation problems. This is a more relaxing option for people who have thick hair, find shaving troublesome, or are afraid of the pain of waxing. At the same time, it is also suitable for people who are allergic to shaving and waxing, or who want to improve enlarged pores and pursue smooth skin. Laser hair removal is a good option for you if you:

  • People who are prone to ingrown hairs (commonly known as ingrown hairs), which can lead to folliculitis
  • People with thick hair or those who find shaving too troublesome
  • People who don’t want to endure the pain of waxing
  • Those who are allergic to shaving or waxing or are prone to inflammation
  • Those who want smooth skin and reduce enlarged pores

Who is not suitable for laser hair removal?

  • Skin that is too dark is more sensitive to light and can easily cause skin burns
  • Areas that have just been tanned or have pigmentation will affect laser penetration. It is recommended to wait until the skin metabolizes the pigment before performing laser hair removal.
  • People who plan to get a tan right after laser treatment are not suitable for laser hair removal, because the skin after laser treatment is more fragile and not suitable for sun exposure.
  • If there is a wound or inflammation in the area where laser hair removal is expected, laser treatment is not suitable.
  • Although there will be no adverse effects during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it will increase the psychological burden. You need to ask a doctor to fully evaluate before proceeding with hair removal treatment.
  • The hair you want to remove is too light. White or lighter hair may respond less well to laser treatment.

Can I have laser hair removal if I have sensitive skin?

It can be done, but it requires careful assessment and appropriate care. If the skin is inflamed, red, swollen, or allergic, it is recommended to wait until the skin condition stabilizes before applying the treatment. Those who are taking photosensitizing drugs (such as A acid) must stop taking the drugs for at least 2 weeks before re-applying the drug.

Can laser hair removal be used for folliculitis?

Yes, laser hair removal can even help reduce the incidence of folliculitis because the laser can destroy the hair follicles, reduce hair growth, and reduce the chance of folliculitis. However, if folliculitis is in a severe inflammatory stage (redness, swelling, suppuration), the inflammation should be treated first before considering laser treatment to avoid further irritation of the skin.

Can men have laser hair removal? Is there any difference in effect with girls?

Yes, it can be done. In recent years, more and more men have chosen laser hair removal. For example, swimmers and bodybuilders use laser hair removal treatments to improve their appearance or hygiene.

In terms of effectiveness, men will require more treatments than women. Because men's hair is thicker, coarser, deeper and darker than women's hair, they absorb laser energy more strongly, but it is more difficult to destroy the hair follicles, requiring more times. Men are more affected by male hormones, which promote hair growth. Therefore, even if the laser reduces the amount of hair, some hair follicles may continue to grow.

There are three common medical laser hair removal methods: Poseidon laser, vacuum laser, and Alexander laser. The main differences are wavelength, treatment time, pain, applicable subjects, and price.

Poseidon laser uses dual wavelength composite technology of 755nm and 810nm, which can remove shallow and deep hair follicles at the same time. It is suitable for any skin color and hair area, and the treatment course is about 6-10 times. It features triple heat dissipation cooling technology, which simultaneously cools down before, during and after the injection to reduce pain, but the price is relatively high.

Vacuum laser uses a single wavelength of 810nm and a vacuum principle to suck up the skin, so that the laser energy is more concentrated on the hair follicles, increasing the absorption rate and reducing pain. It is suitable for dark skin and light hair. The treatment course requires 8-10 times and the price is moderate.

Alexander laser uses a wavelength of 755nm and is more effective for fine hair. However, due to uneven cooling technology, it may cause frostbite or burns after surgery and is more painful. It is less expensive and requires more than 8 treatments.

The unique "triple heat dissipation cooling technology" reduces the temperature before, during and after the injection, reducing the pain.

The vacuum principle is used to suck up the skin, allowing the laser beam to get closer to the hair follicles, enhancing heat absorption and reducing pain.

Before the operation, anesthetic is applied and refrigerant is used to cool down the body before the injection. However, refrigerant may cause uneven cooling and frostbite, leading to burns in other parts and more obvious pain.

The process of laser hair removal usually includes preoperative preparation and operation process. The following is the standard procedure for laser hair removal in general clinics or medical aesthetic centers:

Laser Hair Removal Preparation

  1. Make an appointment for consultation
    • Have a preliminary assessment with a doctor or beautician to confirm whether you are suitable for laser hair removal
    • Discuss suitable laser machine models
    • Understand possible side effects and treatment duration
  2. Skin and hair assessment
    • Check the skin condition to see if there is any inflammation, wound or allergy to avoid affecting the operation.
    • Confirm the hair type. Hair color, thickness and distribution will affect the laser energy setting.
  3. Shaving before surgery (need to shave by yourself or have the clinic shave for you)
    • It is recommended to shave within 24 hours before the procedure, but do not pluck, wax or use depilatory creams to avoid affecting the hair follicle structure.
    • Avoid scratching the skin after shaving. If scratched, wait until the wound heals before laser treatment.
  4. Preoperative cleaning
    • Keep your skin clean on the day of application and avoid using cosmetics, lotions, perfumes, antiperspirants, etc.
    • If you are having underarm laser treatment, you should avoid using deodorant

Laser Hair Removal Procedure

  1. Clean the application area
    • The staff will wipe the hair removal area with saline or wet wipes to ensure that there is no residual skin care product
  2. Apply numbing cream
    • The staff will apply topical anesthetic cream on the area where the laser treatment is planned.
    • It usually takes 20-30 minutes for the effect to take effect
  3. put on goggles
    1. Laser light has an impact on the eyes. During the operation, goggles or opaque eye masks are worn to avoid looking directly into the laser beam.
  4. Laser hair removal
    • The doctor will use a laser device to irradiate the hair area in a point-to-point or sliding manner.
    • You may feel a warm sensation or a stinging sensation like a rubber band snapping during the procedure, but it is usually tolerable.
    • Some medical aesthetic clinics provide cold air equipment, which can blow on the skin while the laser is being applied to reduce discomfort.
  5. Cleansing & Post-Moisturizing
    • After the laser treatment, the doctor will wipe the skin with a wet tissue to clean the excess carbonized hair.
    • A repair gel (such as aloe vera gel, hyaluronic acid essence) will be applied to the treated area to help calm the skin
  6. Apply ice as needed
    • If the skin becomes slightly red or hot, an ice pack or cold pad will be used to cool it down for about 5-10 minutes to relieve the irritation.

After laser hair removal, there is no need to pluck the hair yourself. Just shave the hair the day before the next treatment. Since the laser-treated area may be dry and sensitive, it is recommended to strengthen moisturizing and sun protection, and avoid using exfoliating, whitening or acid-containing skin care products within one week to prevent skin irritation. In addition, high temperature environments such as hot baths, swimming, steam rooms, etc. should be avoided to reduce skin discomfort. After surgery, it is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothing to reduce friction and help the skin recover faster.

After laser hair removal, please remember the following five things:

  • Do not remove additional hair on your own
  • Do not ignore the dryness and sensitivity of the applied area
  • Do not use exfoliating, whitening or acid-containing skin care products within a week.
  • Avoid taking hot showers or going to hot environments
  • Don't wear tight clothing to reduce friction

Can I have sex after laser hair removal?

It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse immediately after laser hair removal, especially if the treatment involves private parts. It is recommended to wait at least 1-2 weeks to allow the skin enough time to repair. Here are the reasons:

  • The skin is more sensitive and fragile: After laser treatment, the skin will temporarily become dry, red, swollen or sensitive. Excessive friction may aggravate the discomfort and even cause inflammation or irritation.
  • Avoid bacterial infection: The private environment is relatively humid, and sexual activity may increase the risk of bacterial infection and affect the repair effect
  • Reduce friction and irritation: Excessive friction may cause redness, swelling, pigmentation, and affect the hair removal effect

If there is no redness, swelling or strong irritation at the treatment site, and it is well moisturized and protected, you can appropriately evaluate the recovery condition before proceeding.

Can I have laser hair removal during my menstrual period?

Laser hair removal can be performed during menstruation, but it is not recommended to be performed on private parts (such as bikini line, VIO area) for the following reasons:

  • Pain may be aggravated: Hormonal changes in the body during menstruation can make the skin more sensitive and reduce pain tolerance, which may cause more pain than usual.
  • It is more humid and increases the risk of infection in private parts: if the bikini line or VIO area is applied, the secretions during menstruation may affect cleaning and increase the risk of bacterial infection
  • Impact on postoperative recovery: The body is more tired during menstruation, and the repair ability may be poor. It may take longer for the skin to recover after surgery

In general, laser hair removal can be performed on non-private areas such as the limbs and underarms during menstruation, but if you are worried about increased pain, you may consider postponing the treatment. If you must perform VIO site surgery, it is recommended to use a clean tampon or menstrual cup, and first confirm whether the clinic accepts the procedure during menstruation.
