Permanent Laser Hair Removal in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – What You Need to Know

How does laser hair removal work?

The main principle of laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. The laser in its specific wavelength and pulse duration heats up the follicle of the hair shafts hence, destroying it. The laser does not affect the normal surrounding skin. Hair shafts contain 2 types of pigments such as eumelanin and pheomelanin which gives the hair its brown, black, blonde or red colour. White, light blonde or strawberry blonde hair do not respond well to the laser. Lasers also work better on coarse hair. The best results are seen in fair skin people with dark hair colour. The laser works permanently to remove the unwanted hair, by stable reduction of the hair regrowing following the procedure.

Yes. Hair removal via YAG laser is a permanent form of hair removal. The YAG laser reduces the number of hair follicles but doesn’t completely obliterate it. This can be done in following touch up sessions. The number of hair in an area reduces following the number of laser hair removal sessions.

Areas which can be treated using Candela YAG laser area :

  • Face
  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Beard bumps
  • Underarms
  • Back
  • Areola
  • Bikini areas

Prior to the procedure, the doctor will trim the hair in the target area as close to the roots as possible. A topical anesthetic may be applied in pain-sensitive areas like the face and bikini lines. A cooling gel is also applied to to the area to reduce discomfort. During the procedure you would feel the cooling effects of the gel and also a slight discomfort from the laser, but it is not painful.

The number of sessions depends on a few variables such as :

  • Type of hair colour
  • Size of target area
  • Type of hair texture
  • Sun exposure during the period of treatment
  • Hair growth rate

On an average a person would require four to six sessions spaced 6 weeks apart for optimum results. A maintenance session every year or 6 months once may be needed in certain cases.

Smaller target areas with less hair growth require less sessions. Coarse hair texture require less sessions. It is best to avoid sun exposure 6 weeks prior and post laser treatment for best results.

Post treatment the hair follicles are destroyed by lasers mostly and this reduces the number of hair regrowth. Following each session the number of regrowth gradually reduces. After the required number of sessions there is a permanent loss of hair, which may or may not require maintenance sessions yearly or so depending on the area and the rate of hair growth.
