Removal of unwanted body hair can be a very inconvenient and time taking process. Why inconvenient? Because tweezing is painful, razor can give you razor burns and waxing is again quite painful as and you may have to deal with skin allergies sometimes if you have a sensitive skin. Body hair removal is not only a matter of concern for women but men as well. 

The most common areas for hair removal in women include face, neck, arms, underarms, stomach, bikini area and legs. While in men the most common treatment areas are face (beard shaping), chest, shoulders, arms, stomach and legs.  

Laser hair reduction is one of the most predictable processes – it turns out to be successful in a majority of the cases. However, some precautions need to be taken both prior to and post the treatment.

It is recommended that no plucking or waxing of hair is done at least 6 weeks prior to the treatment. These procedures temporarily remove the hair follicles and hence become unaffected by laser rays for as long as a month and a half. Also, it is better to avoid facing the sun for a few weeks before and after the laser treatment. Laser removing clinic in Akola also suggests that you take anything between 4-6 sittings over a gap of 3-4 weeks for achieving optimum results.

The cost involved in laser hair removal is dependant on multiple factors such as:

• The area where the hair needs to be removed
• The number of sittings that are required
• The place where the treatment will be performed.

Any permanent damage to the skin through laser treatment for hair removal is quite rare. Usually, the skin appears to be sunburned for a few days and then goes back to looking normal. Sometimes blisters may also appear, especially in case of people with dark skin. Usually, patients feel a little discomfort, rashes, redness or irritation in the treated area after the treatment. An ice pack or cooling cream or gel is usually recommended to take care of this situation.
