Laser Hair Final Process
Laser hair removal is a kind of sensitive activity, so that’s why we need to make sure our doctor or therapist must be available and has a direct supervision when the laser removal process is performed.
Before Laser Hair Removal Process
Before doing laser hair treatment, you must consult with the doctor or therapist who will make an assessment includes your skin type, hair color, location and hair thickness, your medical history including if you are having any medication treatment, if you have tan or tattoo, the doctor will record and help you to find the way out. Sometimes, a before and after photograph are taken to compare. You must also discuss about what your result might be, the risks, and tell the doctor about your expectation form laser removal process.
After that, you doctor will choose the most appropriate laser device, procedure of the process and the treatment for you. Sometimes doctor suggest you to do the pre-treatment process before the real treatment. This pre-treatment process is very easy, you have only to take some oral medications or antibiotic for special case, and tell you about what you must avoid and what you must do. It’s easy, isn’t it? 
Laser Hair Removal Process
Finally the final day has come!!
Please don’t be nervous or too panic, 
First of all, the treatment area must be clean and don’t use any cosmetics on it. A cooling device on the tip or a cool gel and even a topical anesthetic cream (depending on the type of laser device) is used to protect the skin from excessive heat and the potential of skin darkening or lightening from the laser device, so you will feel comfort. ^_^
You will wearing eyes protective (goggles) to prevent accidental laser light exposure to your eyes during the process, then a doctor or trained assistant actives a hand-held laser instrument to your skin. Laser light passes through your skin, the light beam hits the hair follicle, where the hair growth originates. Laser light with the intense heat will destroys hair follicle to growth. In this time you feel a stinging sensation or feel vaporization of the hair shaft. It requires several treatments (usually three or more treatments) to achieve a long time hair free period.
How long the laser process depends on the size of treatment area. A small area such as the upper lip may take several minutes. A larger area such as the back may require several hours. (see also “Laser Hair Removal Action”)
After Laser Hair Removal Process
After laser hair process, some redness or slight swelling may occurs on the treatment area for the first few hours. A mild topical steroid cream may be applied to reduce swelling and redness. Stinging may also occur for the first 24 to 48 hours. Some people experience a localized blistering of the skin. If blistering occurs, a topical antibiotic ointment is applied once or twice daily until it healed. Sometimes Ice packs may be applied to the skin following treatment. If crusting occurs, keep the area moist with petroleum jelly (Vaseline). Over-the-counter pain relief medicine may also be taken as needed before and after treatment.
I hope with this ilustration you will feel more confidence to take this treatment, at least it can give you more information for laser hair treatment.

Laser Hair Removal Action
How is the action of laser hair removal? If you are interested in how laser remove the unwanted hair, or if you're not ready to give lasers a shot and you want to find some information for this, than this is the answer, are you ready? Let’s begin…
First of all you must know what “laser” means? The word laser is actually an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiance. Today individuals with white or dark/tan skin can utilize lasers to remove their unwanted hair with positive results.
Nowadays many physicians using laser technology to removes hair. After some experiments, dermatology community already accepted efficiency, efficacy and the most important is the safety of laser hair removal system. Laser hair removal treatment is already popular and it becomes a special trend now.
Here is the good news: “New lasers are able to target dark black hair even in patients with dark skin now”. So don’t feel worry about that Ok.
How about the process???
When you already make a choice to remove your “naughty” hair, then a trained specialist will help you to determine what the best treatment for you according to your skin and hair type. The wavelength of lasers depend on its color and sometimes the longer the wavelength the better, because it can reach the deepest root of hair.
“The primary principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. Lasers can cause localized damage by selectively heating dark target matter, (melanin), in the area that causes hair growth, (the follicle), while not heating the rest of the skin. Light is absorbed by dark objects, so laser energy can be absorbed by dark material in the skin (but with much more speed and intensity). This dark target matter, or chromophore, can be naturally-occurring or artificially introduced.
Hair removal lasers selectively target Melanin:
Melanin is considered the primary chromophore for all hair removal lasers currently on the market. Melanin occurs naturally in the skin (it gives skin and hair its color). There are two types of melanin in hair: eumelanin (which gives hair brown or black color) and pheomelanin (which gives hair blonde or red color). Because of the selective absorption of photons of laser light, only black or brown hair can be removed” (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia/ en.wikipedia.org )
So, the lasers light passes your skin to the hair follicle and get it disable. Lasers light begin to clean your hair until the root! It simple isn’t it? Yeah… just that simple and it usually only takes less than an hour, but the result is forever. Really? YES! It has been approved as “permanent hair reduction” by Food and Drug Administration since 1997. So you don’t have to be worry about your coarse hair or “Bad looking” hair, and you don’t need to do shaving, tweezing or waxing anymore!!
Try it your self, be confidence and win against your “naughty hair”
