Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is popular because it is precise and effective in the long term, based on my experience with our customers and ongoing research. Unlike traditional methods, laser treatment targets hair follicles directly, reducing hair growth without affecting the surrounding skin. This precision is especially valued in a fast-paced society like Singapore, where time efficiency is crucial.

Enhanced Comfort and Convenience over Traditional Methods

Moreover, laser hair removal offers a degree of comfort and convenience that other methods can’t match. It’s a less painful alternative to waxing or epilating, and the risk of ingrown hairs is significantly reduced. For many of my customers (at Wellaholic), this has been a game changer in their beauty routine. The long-term results also mean fewer salon visits and reduced overall expenditure on hair removal products.

Table: Reasons to Why SHR is the Safest Laser Hair Removal Choice

Here’s a table listing many reasons why SHR hair removal is considered a safe choice:

Reason	Explanation
Reduced Side Effects	SHR hair removal delivers low fluence energy through multiple pulses, ensuring effective treatment. This results in reduced side effects such as burns, redness, and blisters compared to other hair removal methods.
Suitable for All Skin Types	SHR hair removal is safe for all skin types, including tanned and darker skin, without causing damage or discoloration.
Precision Targeting	SHR hair removal uses a unique technique that targets hair follicles specifically without affecting the surrounding skin. This makes it a safe and precise option for hair removal.
Minimal Pain	SHR hair removal is not very painful, and most people only feel a mild warming sensation during the treatment.
Quick Treatment Time	SHR hair removal is a fast method of hair removal, and each session can be completed within a short amount of time, making it a convenient option for busy people.
Long-Lasting Results	SHR hair removal offers long-lasting results, and most people will experience permanent hair reduction after several sessions. This means that there is no need for frequent treatments, reducing the risk of side effects.
FDA Approved	SHR hair removal has been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for safe and effective hair removal.
Minimal Downtime	SHR hair removal has minimal downtime, and people can usually resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.
Experienced Practitioners	SHR hair removal is a safe option when performed by experienced and qualified practitioners who can tailor the treatment to suit individual needs and skin types.
Pre- and Post-Treatment Care	SHR hair removal requires minimal pre- and post-treatment care, and practitioners will provide guidelines to help ensure that the treatment is safe and effective.

What to Expect in a Laser Hair Removal

Preparation:

Before your laser hair removal appointment, avoid waxing, plucking or electrolysis for 4–6 weeks, as the hair follicle needs to be intact for the laser to target. Shaving is okay and should be done 24 hours prior to allow the laser to better locate the follicles. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 1 week before treatment.

During the Procedure:

You will be given eye protection to wear during the session. The laser equipment will be adjusted based on your skin and hair type. You may feel a warm pinprick or snapping sensation as the laser is applied to the treatment areas like your underarms, legs and bikini line. Topical anaesthetic may be used for more sensitive spots. Small areas take just minutes while larger areas like the legs can take over an hour.

After the Procedure:

Redness, swelling and mild discomfort are common for a few hours after laser hair removal. Use ice packs or aloe vera to soothe the skin. Avoid sun exposure for at least 1 week and use SPF 30+ sunscreen. Hairs will shed over days to weeks and multiple sessions are needed for best hair reduction results. Rare potential side effects include blisters, pigment changes, and scarring.

Preference for Permanent Hair Removal: According to a 2022 survey by Wellaholic Research, 62% of respondents in Singapore aged 18–29 years preferred permanent hair removal methods, like laser hair removal or electrolysis.

How to Prepare for Your First Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Before your first laser hair removal session, it’s important to let your hair grow out for at least 4–6 weeks. This allows the laser to effectively target the hair follicles. However, you should shave the treatment area completely 24–48 hours prior to your appointment. This leaves just enough hair for the laser to detect, but keeps it short enough to avoid burns. Do not wax, pluck, or use any other hair removal methods that pull hair out at the root in between laser treatments.

To further prepare your skin, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. This includes both natural sunlight and tanning beds. If you have recently tanned, the extra pigment in your skin can make it difficult for the laser to distinguish between your skin and hair. It’s best to keep your skin as close to its natural colour as possible.

Additionally, stop using any skincare products that cause photosensitivity, such as retinols, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide, for at least 3 days before your appointment. On the day of your treatment, arrive with clean skin free of any lotions, creams, or fragrances. Finally, inform your laser technician of any medications you are currently taking, as some antibiotics and other drugs can affect your results or increase sensitivity.

Post Treatment Care for Laser Hair Removal

I want to share some essential insights on post-treatment care for laser hair removal, focusing on common side effects and post-treatment instructions.

Common Side Effects

After a laser hair removal session, it’s normal to experience some temporary side effects. These can include skin irritation, redness, and swelling. These reactions are generally mild and disappear within a few hours. In some cases, the treated area might undergo pigment changes, either darkening or lightening. This is more common in individuals with darker skin tones or those who don’t avoid sun exposure before and after treatment. It’s rare, but some clients might experience blistering, crusting, or changes in skin texture.

Post-Treatment Instructions

To ensure a smooth recovery and minimize the risk of side effects, here are some key post-treatment care instructions:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the treated area protected from the sun. Use a broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen daily to prevent pigment changes1.
2. Gentle Skin Care: Avoid excessive scrubbing or applying pressure to the treated area for 4–5 days. This helps the skin recover and prevents infection2.
3. Cool Compresses: Apply a cold compress or ice wrapped in a dry cloth to soothe pain and minimize swelling. Do this for 5–10 minutes several times a day until the side effects subside4.
4. Wear Loose Clothing: To avoid irritation, wear loose-fitting clothes that don’t rub against the treated area4.
5. Avoid Hot Water: Use cool or lukewarm water for showers and washing your face for 48 hours post-treatment to avoid skin irritation4.
6. Wait for Next Treatment: Laser hair removal usually requires multiple sessions. Wait at least four to six weeks between treatments for optimal results4.

Laser Hair Removal: Side Effects and Risks

The most common side effect associated with laser hair removal is skin irritation, such as redness, swelling, or itching. These symptoms usually resolve themselves within 1–2 days of treatment. Other less common side effects can include blistering or changes in skin colouration around the area being treated. People with darker skin tones are at higher risk for these adverse reactions due to increased absorption of the laser energy by their skin pigmentation.

Here’s an example of a table that shows some common side effects of laser hair removal and how they can be prevented:

Side Effect	Prevention Tips
Redness and Swelling	– Apply ice packs or a cool compress to the treated area for a few minutes after the procedure. – Avoid sun exposure for at least 24 hours after treatment
Skin Discoloration	– Wear sunscreen with a high SPF before and after treatment – To protect the skin from sun damage – Avoid tanning beds and self-tanning products
Blisters or Burns	– Choose a reputable provider with lots of experience (e.g. Wellaholic) – Choose the appropriate laser settings for your skin type and hair color – Inform the provider immediately if you experience any discomfort during the procedure
Itching or Tingling Sensation	– Avoid using hot water or harsh soaps on the treated area for a few days – Apply aloe vera or a mild moisturizer to soothe the skin
Skin Infection	– Keep the treated area clean and dry – Avoid touching or scratching the skin – If you notice any signs of infection, such as redness or pus, contact your healthcare provider immediately
