How does laser hair removal work?

A technique called laser hair removal on legs helps to completely remove unwanted hair using strong light rays that the color pigment in the hair can absorb. This light energy is converted into heat, which destroys the hair roots, stopping their growth. The method is best suited for people with dark shades of hair and pale skin, but advanced technologies allow people with any type of appearance to resort to the procedure.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal on Legs

Laser hair removal of legs is a highly effective technique for getting rid of hair on the skin. The procedure provides a long-term result for a period of two to five years. Additional advantages of this technique:

  • Laser hair removal is suitable for people of any gender
  • The procedure is painless
  • Does not leave scars
  • Eliminates the possibility of cuts and tissue infection
  • Suitable for people with highly sensitive skin
  • The risk of allergies or hypersensitivity is minimized

Photos taken before and after laser hair removal of legs fully confirm the effectiveness of the technique.

Course of laser hair removal procedures

The number of visits to the cosmetologist for laser hair removal is determined on an individual basis. It is based on the characteristics of the skin and the technique used. As a result of the first session, about 20-25% of the vegetation is removed, which then comes out of the skin. This happens in about 7-10 days. The next session is recommended to be carried out in 1-1.5 months - by this time new hairs become noticeable.

After 1.5-2 months, it is necessary to conduct a third session, after which the time interval between procedures increases to 2-2.5 months. With each subsequent procedure, the hair becomes thinner and begins to grow more slowly. Even after the vegetation is completely removed, it is recommended to repeat the hair removal procedure to prevent its re-growth 1-2 times a year.

General information about the procedure

Preparing for the laser hair removal procedure on your legs

Hair removal, which involves the complete removal of hair, is performed on intact and dry skin. Before visiting a specialist, you should remove the visible part of the hair on your legs with a razor and wash your skin thoroughly with soap. You should not sunbathe in the sun for seven days before the hair removal procedure. It is important to inform the specialist about any medications you are taking.

Procedure stages

Epilation of the lower extremities is a popular service. The following areas are subject to the procedure:

  • Upper and lower thighs
  • Knee area
  • Shin
  • Phalanges on the toes
  • Foot rise

The stages of laser hair removal differ in cost for women and men, with the women's version being cheaper. The procedure consists of the following stages:

Step 1. If the client is sensitive to pain, the cosmetologist applies a special ointment to the skin. The legs are treated with a special gel, which limits the depth of radiation penetration.

Step 2. The client is provided with protective glasses to protect the eyes from the laser.

Step 3. The cosmetologist brings the device handle closer to the skin, holding it at a distance of 2-3 centimeters from the surface, and thus processes each hair.

Step 4. Working with each area lasts a few seconds, after which the specialist moves on to the next zone.

After completing the epilation, Panthenol or another medicinal product is applied to the skin to prevent inflammation and possible burns.

Care after the hair removal procedure

The laser hair removal procedure for legs requires following simple rules. To help the skin heal faster, you should:

  1. Use a healing ointment that moisturizes and disinfects the skin
  2. Avoid pulling out hair. One visit to a beautician may not be enough to get absolutely smooth skin. You need to wait - after 10 days, the hair along with the root will fall out naturally
  3. Use cosmetics with UV protection for three months after laser exposure
  4. Replace harsh soap with a soft gel or delicate foam. Do not rub the areas of skin exposed to the laser with a washcloth or towel. Avoid using scrubs for the first few days after the procedure
  5. Avoid wearing tight clothing - constant friction of the fabric against the skin can cause irritation
  6. Use delicate scrubs to remove dead skin cells 3-4 days after the procedure

Particular attention should be paid to scrubs with sea salt, which help reduce swelling and redness, and also promote skin regeneration. Essential oils in such scrubs saturate the skin, making it moisturized and smooth.

Indications and contraindications for laser hair removal on legs

It is worth performing the leg hair removal procedure if:

  • The desire to completely remove hair on the lower limbs
  • Excessive hairiness caused by an increase in the amount of androgens
  • The problem of ingrown hairs and regular inflammatory processes after hair removal sessions
  • The need to maintain perfectly smooth skin for professional reasons
  • The presence of thick roots that cannot be removed by traditional methods
  • Hypersensitivity to photoepilation procedures or cosmetic depilatory products

Additional indications for hair removal include the desire to reduce sweating and improve skin hygiene, as well as the desire to eliminate chronic irritation caused by friction. Another reason to resort to laser hair removal of legs is the need to improve the appearance of the skin in areas with hyperpigmentation caused by the fight against hair growth.

  • Abundance of moles in the area to be treated
  • Variable veins (varicose veins)
  • Aggravation of any chronic diseases

Answers to popular questions

Doctors from “K+31” answered the most common questions about laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal or photoepilation — which is more effective?

A dermatologist answers: “In terms of long-term safety and effectiveness, laser hair removal is preferable. The laser produces light of a strictly defined wavelength, for example, alexandrite operates at 755 nm, specifically destroying the melanin of the hair and its root, bypassing the surrounding tissues. IPL (photoepilation) devices emit light with a wide spectrum of waves from 600 to 1200 nm, which entails the absorption of energy by other tissues, not just hairs. This explains why photoepilation can not only remove hair, including light hair, but also rejuvenate the skin and remove pigmentation.”

Why is it not always possible to achieve the desired effect in 2-4 laser hair removal sessions?

Each laser session targets hair follicles in the growth phase. As active hairs are destroyed, previously dormant roots are activated. New hair starts growing from them. Therefore, to achieve the desired result, a series of procedures is required. Over time, new hair becomes lighter and thinner.

Why is it necessary to repeat the laser hair removal procedure?

The need for repeated visits to a cosmetologist for laser hair removal is associated with the activation of dormant follicles, which awaken in response to hormonal changes. As a result, it is recommended to repeat the course, usually consisting of 2-3 procedures, in six months to a year.

Is laser hair removal suitable for men?

Laser hair removal is suitable for both women and men. Among men, the most popular procedures include hair removal between the eyebrows, on the nose, ears, back, chest, abdomen, and hands.

Is it better to have laser hair removal in summer?

The ideal period to start procedures is autumn. This is due to the fact that in autumn, interaction of the laser with tanned skin can be avoided. However, thanks to modern lasers, sessions can be scheduled year-round.

What to do if there is irritation after shaving?

Irritated skin and ingrown hairs are not contraindications for laser hair removal; on the contrary, they are a reason to undergo the procedure. Shaving is recommended 12 hours before the session to minimize irritation.

Can laser hair removal cause skin cancer?

No, laser hair removal does not contribute to the development of skin cancer. The danger lies in ordinary ultraviolet light, while the laser operates in a different spectrum.
