Frequently Asked Questions
What is Alexandrite laser hair removal, and how does it work?
Alexandrite laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a specific type of laser – the Alexandrite laser – to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, leading to their destruction without damaging surrounding skin tissue.
Is Alexandrite laser hair removal safe for all skin types?
While Alexandrite laser hair removal is generally safe for most skin types, it is most effective on individuals with fair skin and dark hair. People with darker skin tones may be at a higher risk of experiencing pigment changes or skin damage with Alexandrite laser treatment. However, our experienced dermatologists will assess your skin type and customize the treatment parameters to ensure safe and effective results.
Does Alexandrite laser hair removal hurt?
Most individuals report minimal discomfort during Alexandrite laser hair removal, often describing the sensation as a mild stinging or snapping feeling. Our dermatologists may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before the procedure to enhance comfort and minimize any potential discomfort.
How many sessions of Alexandrite laser hair removal are needed?
The number of treatment sessions required depends on factors such as hair color, hair thickness, and the treatment area’s size. Typically, a series of multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are needed to achieve optimal results. Our dermatologists will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with Alexandrite laser hair removal?
While Alexandrite laser hair removal is generally safe, some temporary side effects may occur, including redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These side effects usually subside within a few hours to days after treatment. Rarely, more serious side effects such as blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur, but they are uncommon when the procedure is performed by experienced professionals.
Can Alexandrite laser hair removal permanently remove hair?
While Alexandrite laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth, it typically provides long-term hair reduction rather than permanent removal. Some individuals may experience a significant reduction in hair growth that lasts for several years, while others may require occasional maintenance treatments to sustain results. Our dermatologists will provide guidance on post-treatment care and maintenance to optimize long-term results.
