People often want some part of their body freed from unwanted hair. Laser hair removal in Portland Oregon is a growing industry, as it gets cheaper and more accessible for all. But the process is still expensive, and not for everyone.
This method of reduction is permanent, but it does not remove every single hair (thus the term 'reduction'). The average success rate is a 90% reduction in the number of hairs in a given area. This is plenty for most people, but may dissatisfy a few perfectionists. Darker hairs are easier to target and remove, and blond, red, and very fine hairs of any color are almost impossible to destroy.
The laser is used to target the pigment of the hairs and kill the follicle they grow from. Because of this, it is easier to perform the procedure on light-skinned people with dark hairs. However, more advanced lasers developed in recent years are also capable of working on dark-skinned people with dark hairs. No method using lasers is effective on light hairs at this point in time.
Multiple sessions are required because the follicle can only be destroyed during a certain part of the growth phase, and hair grows in cycles. Different hairs may be in different parts of the cycle during each treatment. Typically these treatments are about eight weeks apart, but treatments for the face can be as little as three to four weeks apart. Depending on the type of hair and the part of the body, different numbers of sessions may be required. Three to eight is typical, with more being required for facial hair in most cases.
Before the procedure is performed, some people choose to apply an anesthetic skin cream. Others find that taking ibuprofen or applying ice to the area works very well. Some manage the sessions without pain relief of any kind. The choice depends on the person's individual pain tolerance.
In some cases, people find that the reduction effects are not permanent. Although the follicles are permanently destroyed during these treatments, new follicles can be created, and this can result in regrowth of hairs in the undesirable area. Occasionally, not all of the follicles are destroyed during the regular treatment sessions, and touch-ups may be necessary.
Possible side effects of the procedure include discoloration or burning of the skin, swelling, scabs and infection. These risks are all minimized by using an experienced provider, and avoiding disturbing the area while it heals. Especially in the case of scab formation, leaving the situation alone is the most important thing to avoid infection. Most people report nothing more than a slight redness or tenderness of the treated area.
Unfortunately, some people appear not to respond to treatments. Not enough investigation of this matter has been done, and it is possible that these people were treated by inexperienced technicians who did not use the proper methods. Or, there may simply be some part of the population for whom the process of laser hair removal is ineffective. At this point, it is not known which is the case.
