[Doctor's Column] Complete Guide to Laser Hair Removal | From Principles to Post-Treatment Care at a Glance

The principle of hair removal, what makes it different?

Hair removal methods are broadly divided into two types.

▲ Physical hair removal

These are methods of physically cutting or plucking hair, such as razors or waxing. Shaving is simple as it removes only the hair on the skin's surface, but it must be done frequently and can cause micro-injuries. Waxing pulls out the hair from the root, resulting in slower regeneration, but it carries the risk of pain, irritation, and folliculitis.
▲ Laser hair removal

Laser light is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicle and destroys the hair root with heat. This is the method.
While it is difficult to remove all hair in a single treatment, repeating the process weakens the hair roots, allowing you to expect semi-permanent hair removal.

Hair growth cycle and treatment interval

Hair repeats a fixed cycle of growth, regression, and resting phases. However, since the laser effectively responds only to hair roots in the growth phase, it is difficult to remove all the hair in a single treatment. Therefore, Repeat the procedure for each area at intervals of approximately 4 weeks. This is necessary, After 5 to 6 sessions or more, hair growth noticeably decreases and hair becomes thinner. Since the appropriate interval and frequency may vary depending on skin tone, hair thickness, and characteristics of each area, It is most important to set a customized cycle after consulting with a specialist. do.
