Hair Removal By Laser Treatment:
Safe and Effective Way to be Free from Any Unwanted Hair

If you are already tired of tweezing, shaving, waxing unwanted hair in any parts of your body, laser hair removal is a good option to consider.

 

 

Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair

Hair removal by laser is a treatment done to remove unwanted hair by means of destroying hair follicles through exposure to laser light. It can remove any unwanted hair with precision and can be done fast and permanently.
Hair removal is not just zapping the unwanted hair. It is already considered a medical procedure in Lebanon which requires proper training because if it’s performed mistakenly, it can carry potential risks to the patient.

 

Getting ready

Here are things to be done before a laser hair removal treatment:

  • Discuss to your doctor all about your medical history.
  • Stay away from direct sunlight. If possible six weeks before your scheduled laser hair removal procedure.
  • Do not wax or pluck any hair before the laser treatment. Epilation or the removal of hair will disrupt the hair follicles and might interfere with the treatment.
  • You can shave the hair on the area to be treated prior to the procedure because it can give better results.
  • Do not apply any cosmetics or lotions on the area to be treated.
  • Clean and wash the area thoroughly before the procedure.

Convalescence

One or two days after the laser treatment, the skin on the treated area will feel and look like it has sunburn. Do these things in order to reduce sensitivity or swelling.

  • You can apply cold compress or moisturizers.
  • Scrub the treated area so that dead skin will fall off.
  • Avoid sun exposure because the sun has harmful rays that might cause damage to the skin and cause darkening. If you really need to go out, apply sunblock lotions, use an umbrella, or cover the treated area.
  • Do not spray any type of fragrances on the affected area because chemicals found on these substances may cause a negative reaction to your skin.
  • You can also apply antiseptic cream to prevent the bacteria from entering the open wounds.
  • You can use soothing gels instead of lotions and creams to alleviate the pain. A good example for this is an aloe vera.

The hair removal by laser treatment performed by Dr. Nader Saab is to be done repeatedly weeks apart because hair will grow according to its cycles. During the first part of your treatment, it will be done weeks apart. Then it becomes further as you come to the end of your treatment. Once the entire hair removal procedure had been done, you will now be more confident to show off your entire body.
