FAQ OF LASERS AND IPL

Q) How does hair removal by Laser/IPL work?
A) Permanent hair reduction can only be achieved by destruction of the hair roots, under the skin. The Laser or IPL (Intense pulsed light) beams are targeted to the hair roots, which contain melanin pigment. The pigment absorbs the energy and transfers it to the roots which get destroyed and are then unable to produce new hair. A layer of cooling gel may be sometimes used while doing a laser.

Q) Can I undergo permanent Hair reduction?
A) More hairy areas and Dark hair on a fair non tanned skin respond the best, barring grey and blonde hair almost anyone can undergo permanent laser hair reduction. If there are some hormonal problems then the response to treatment may be a little slower. The high tech machines have software that permits the doctor to set the energy differently for different skin types and different areas.

Q) How painful is it and how long does each session take?
A) Most patients do not need any numbing before the treatment. The sensation is usually described as heat or tingling by most patients. However if you are bothered by even minimal sensation then we can use numbing creams just before the treatment sessions. Treatment for the full face may take between 15 to 30 minutes and for arms and legs around 40 minutes each.

Q) How Safe is it and how many sessions are required?
A) The treatments are very safe no long term side effects are known. There may rarely be some pigment changes seen in darker patients.Repeat treatments are need because only the growing hair follicles can be destroyed and not the resting ones. Repeat sessions are needed as the resting follicles enter the growing phase. Repeat sessions may be done every 1-2 months sometimes even longer intervals for 3 to 8 sessions.

CHEMICAL PEELS & MICRODERMABRASION

Q) What are chemical peels?
A) This is a procedure in which different medicines are applied by a trained doctor on the skin for short periods of time.

There many only be some burning and tingling sensation and sometimes some irritation of the skin for some time.

Q) how do the peels act?
A) Different peels have slightly different actions. In general they act by allowing the new skin to grow faster and stimulate the collagen and elastin (responsible for tightness of skin) to grow faster, they also have some antibiotic effects and some agents also decrease pigmentation/melasma.

A) The medicines used are alpha hydroxy or fruit acids, e.g lactic acid used is present in milk, mandelic acid used is present in almonds, kojic acid used is present in mushrooms.

Black brown spotting may occur uncommonly and lasts 2 to 7 days before falling on its own.

A) One session usually takes 10- 30 minutes, repeat sessions are required every 10-20 days depending on the problem and the medicine/medicines used. 6 to 8 such sessions may be need sometimes less sometimes more depending on the condition. The responses vary for each individual skin and you should begin to see some effects after the 3rd or 4th peels, therefore “selling packages” is not considered a wise option by most people.
