Photoepilation, more commonly known as laser hair removal, refers to the process of permanently disabling hair follicles present in a person’s skin. This process however, does not guarantee a patient 100 percent removal of hair from a particular area. It is usually followed by an electrolysis treatment to achieve better results.
The reason why most men and women opt for removal of unwanted hair through lasers is mainly for cosmetic reasons. The areas that are most targeted are the lip, back, underarm, abdomen, bikini lines, face, chest, arms, legs, pubic area, etc.
Lasers, however, are also used to treat a condition called pseudofolliculitis barbae or ingrown hairs which are known to cause reactions leading to formations of pilonidal cysts.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we offer laser hair removal treatments for both men as well as women who are looking to rid themselves of unwanted hair or ingrown hair. This non-surgical aesthetic treatment is completely painless and is administered besides our other laser treatment services for treating acne, wrinkles and vascular veins.
The main requirement for removing hair via lasers used to be a light skinned patient as a darker skinned patient faced the risk of damaging his skin surface. Damaging the melanin pigment that is present in a higher amount in a dark skinned individual was one of the main reasons for discouraging them from going ahead with this treatment.
