Being party ready and flaunting the clean and groomed skin is a wish to many. But the frequent Salon visits to get rid of those unwanted hair is a task no one wishes to uptake. What if there is a sudden outing plan and you have to turn it down because of that unwanted body hair growth.

WHAT IS HAIR LASER REDUCTION?

Laser Hair Reduction is an advanced medical technology that uses Laser waves of a certain wavelength to target the roots of hair. These laser waves destroy the hair roots which in turn causes diminished hair growth in the long terms. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the no growth stage for all hair as different hair roots are in different stages of growth.

WHAT DETERMINES THE COST OF LASER HAIR REDUCTION ?

The initial investment in the Laser Hair Reduction seems high when compared to conventional hair removal techniques like shaving, waxing & epilation. But if we calculate the cumulative cost of Laser versus the conventional methods, Laser seems to be an economical option.

Area under treatment: The surface area to be covered by laser hair reduction is the major determinant in cost of Laser Hair Removal Cost in Faridabad. Larger the area, more is the number of laser hits as well as the time required to perform the procedure. If you are looking for a small area like face or underarms the cost is less but if larger areas like legs or full body are to be covered then the cost becomes high.

Number of sessions: The cost of a single session is definitely lower as compared to the total cost of a greater number of sessions. People with thicker and denser growth or with hormonal imbalance may require a greater number of sessions. But your Dermatologist will assess the growth and will give you an average estimate of the total cost.

Technology: A major determinant in the cost of LHR, technology is equally important in the quality of result achieved. The advanced technology high end, US-FDA approved machines give you the best result in terms of reduction of hair growth. These machines deliver quality results but at the same time these equipment require a lot of careful handling which may incur slightly high cost. The poor- quality un approved machines may give you cost benefit but not result guarantee.

Acne is one of the most common skin problems suffered worldwide. Almost everyone suffers one or more episodes of mild to severe acne during their lifetime.Though common in the teenage, it is now becoming commonly seen in later ages also. Acne is a condition which is usually under treated and neglected in many. In such cases it may sometimes heal on its own but may leave behind ugly scars which may be in the form of skin discoloration or acne pits. Timely treatment not only prevents further break outs but also saves one from the scarring.

CAUSES

The 4 main causes are:

  • Excessive Sebum /oil production.
  • Blockage of oil glands.

All these factors may occur in various permutations and combinations to ultimately cause a flare of acne and comedones.

In addition to these, other lifestyle factors may also cause an increased occurrence of acne like:-

DIET –  A diet high in sugar or refined flours or processed food may cause increased breakouts.

HORMONAL IMBALANCES – Factors like Menstrual irregularities and PCOD have been proven to be a great contributory factor in acne.

SKINCARE/ MAKEUP – Heavy make up worn for long hours, thick creams or facial oils, improper cleansing and sleeping with make up or oil on face are again known contributors in acne.

Acne can present in various forms from mild comedones (black/ whiteheads) to severe nodulocystic acne.Various presentations include:

Comedones – These include open comedones commonly known as blackheads or closed comedones called as whiteheads in common language.

Papule – These look like tiny soft or hard bumps whitish or reddish in colour. 

Pustules – If the papules become infected with acne bacteria they get  filled with mild pus and are called pustules.

Nodules/ Nodulocystic – Slightly larger bumps than the papules which have most of their are beneath the skin and are usually hard and painful to touch.When these hard nodules become pus or fluid filled and are boggy to touch, they are called a s cystic acne. These nodules and cyst have a high likelihood of leaving behind scarring.

DIAGNOSIS

Diagnosis is usually clinic but if hormonal imbalances are suspected then a battery of hormonal tests may be needed.

Everyone wants thick voluminous hair that stays forever. But seeing your hair fall can make your
heart pound faster and your head spin sometimes. What to do and what treatment to start is a big
dilemma in may people’s mind. Some suggest a hair transplant some suggest against it. So, who
needs it and who doesn’t – who is to know? Let’s try to understand it.
Whether you need #Hair Transplant or not, to know this we first need to understand a few things.

What is Hair Transplant?
Where it is needed?

Hair transplant is essentially a redistribution of hair from a permanent high density area (back of
scalp, beard, chest) to an area which is bald or excessively low in hair density; which in most
cases is the top of the head.

People who mostly desire for a hair transplant are:

  • Patterned Hair loss patient.
  • people who want their hairline to be more dense and more in front.
  • People who have suffered some injury on scalp and lost hair from that portion.
  • Scarring hair loss.

Hair loss management is easy but tricky at the same time. Right treatment when started at the right
time will help you restore your volume back to normal.
For any hair loss management there essentially are two modes of treatment – medical and
surgical.
Medical therapies includes lotions/serums, tablets and Hair Growth Treatment helps
increase the thickness of individual hair as well as stimulate the growth of dormant lying hair
follicles in the scalp.
Surgical option is where Hair Transplant come in the picture. When you have lost a significant
volume of the hair or the area has completely gone bald, Medicine or Hair Growth Treatment alone are ineffective
since there are no hair follicles present. In such situation, hair from the donor area are taken and
transplanted into the bald area to cover the bald patch and restore the lost volume.
To sum up the medical treatment comes in handy when the hair are thinning and it needs to be
started as soon as possible to prevent the hair loss from progressing to complete baldness.
Once the area has become completely bald, medical management does not work and Hair
transplant is the only options.
If you experience hair loss, consult a qualified Dermatologist for an appropriate early treatment.

Laser Hair Reduction (LHR) has become the most sought after procedure in cosmetic
dermatology clinics. Not to mention it has become a favourite amongst all generations and
genders as it saves a lot of time and hassles from repeated visits to the salon or Spa and the
mess of frequent shaving and waxing.

What is the logic behind the LHR?

Hair gets it back color from a pigment called as MELANIN, present in root of the hair. In
LHR a LASER beam of a selective wavelength is directed to target this pigment and
eventually destroy it.

Ideal candidate for LHR

There is no individual who cannot benefit from this amazing technology considering the
advancements in the field. However, there are a few situation where a LHR works the best:

  1. Fair skinned individual with dark hair.
  2. Individuals with no grey hair.
  3. Normal hormone profile.

Who are not ideal candidates for LHR?

Hormonal imbalance:

Individuals with deranged hormonal profile especially PCOS are more likely to have less
than satisfactory results with LHR. It is advisable to undergo hormonal treatment alongside
LHR to get best results.

Grey hair:

The target of LASER beam in LHR is melanin. The absence of melanin in grey hair makes
it resistant to action of LASERs.

Procedure of LHR

A Dermatologist will assess your hair growth and type and also evaluate for any hormonal
imbalances.

The desired area for LHR is marked and shaved. A cooling gel is then applied to this area.
LASER beams are targeted to the the particular area using the laser machine as per the
parameters set the Dermatologist.

Number of sessions required.

  • Usually around 6-8 sessions are required to obtain the best result.
  • A gap of around 4-6 weeks os usually required between two sessions or it can be the time gap for a person to attain the maximum growth.
  • In between the sessions you can shaving/ threading of the hair can be done
    Waxing and epilation should be avoided.

Side-effects of LHR.

LHR is a harmless procedure overall.
Only few things need to be kept in mind:

  • Do consult a dermatologist before opting for LHR
  • Correction of hormonal imbalance, if any.
  • Right selection of Laser parameters.
