Whether your hair loss is sudden or gradual, a hair loss consultation can help you understand the current condition of your hair and what you can do about it. You will have the opportunity to have your hair loss concerns and questions addressed by a dermatologist, who is an expert in hair loss management.
You will be given a pair of protective eye goggles to wear during the procedure. The dermatologist will then place the laser head to your skinyou will experience repeated bursts of a cold spray interspersed with a light snapping sensation. Depending on the area to be treated, the procedure may take between 10 to 30 minutes.
There may be some redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure. These will generally settle as your skin is iced down. It is advisable to avoid direct sun exposurefor the few days after laser hair removal. You should apply a sunblock on any exposed, treated areas when outdoors.
Imagine a world with no more razors, waxing or painful electrolysis! We are proud to offer the GentleYAG® laser system which is safe, fast and effective in dealing with unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal can be safely used on any part of the body including the face, upper lip, trunk, underarms, arms, bikini area and legs.
Most patients will experience a 70-80% reduction in hair growth. The hairs which remain are often lighter , softer and take longer to grow.
Most patients will need between 4 to 6 sessions to see a visible difference. The intervals between the treatments vary with the rate of hair growth. Most patients have their treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart.
The Gentle Yag can be used even in patients of darker skin tones. However, as the energy settings have to be kept lower for such patients, they may require 2 or 3 sessions more than patients of fairer skin tones to achieve a similar outcome.
It is good medical practice to book a consultation first with the dermatologist before embarking on
any procedure. This allows for a proper assessment of your suitability as well as to discuss the
expected outcomes and any potential side effects.
