Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most effective and popular methods for long-term reduction of unwanted body hair. This technique works by directing concentrated light energy toward the hair follicles, weakening the roots and reducing both the thickness and the growth rate of the hair.

Contrary to common belief, laser hair removal does not permanently stop hair growth, but with multiple treatment sessions, it can reduce up to 70–90% of unwanted hair. This treatment is suitable for both men and women and can be performed on various body areas such as the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, and arms.

Types of Laser Hair Removal

If you are considering laser hair removal in Farmanieh, Tehran, it’s important to understand the different types of laser technologies available:

• Diode Laser: Highly effective for both light and dark skin tones; excellent for removing coarse, thick hair.
• Alexandrite Laser: Fast and effective for light to medium skin tones; ideal for large body areas.
• Nd:YAG Laser: Safest option for darker skin tones with minimal risk of pigmentation changes.
• Ruby Laser: One of the older technologies, best suited for fine hair and fair skin.

Choosing the right type of laser depends on your skin tone, hair type, and treatment area.

Pre-Laser Hair Removal Care

Following proper pre-laser guidelines is essential for maximizing results and minimizing side effects:

• Two months before: Avoid sunbathing and tanning (natural or artificial).
• Two months before: Refrain from waxing, epilating, or plucking hair.
• 24 hours before: Shave the treatment area with a clean razor.
• Use sunscreen regularly if exposed to sunlight.
• Consult a dermatologist if you have a history of skin conditions.

Proper preparation helps the laser target the hair follicle more effectively, ensuring better long-term results.

Aftercare Tips Following Laser Hair Removal

Post-treatment care is the key to maintaining healthy, smooth, irritation-free skin:

• Clean the treated area with cool or lukewarm water.
• Apply zinc oxide cream or soothing anti-inflammatory ointments.
• Avoid hot baths, saunas, and swimming pools for at least 24 hours.
• Stay away from direct sunlight and tanning throughout the treatment course.
• Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing to prevent friction or irritation.

Tip: Avoid exfoliation or chemical peels for at least one week after the session.

• Individuals with active herpes or viral skin infections
• Skin cancer patients
• People with fresh scars or keloids
