How can I make laser hair removal less painful?

There are many types of laser hair removal procedures available to remove unwanted excess hair. This is the very latest technology in hair removal techniques. The one thing they all have in common is that they can stop hair from growing to a lesser or greater extent, but finding the least painful method is also often a concern among many patients.

Modern laser hair removal systems are available with different methods. Some are more painful than others, including the traditional “shots” laser hair removal treatment.

A revolution is underway, for body hair removal that is virtually painless. The Pain-Free treatment offered by KEMPS Skin Clinic, can now free you from daily shaving, painful plucking and expensive waxing to give you silky smooth and beautifully bare skin. 

What Does Laser Hair Removal Feel Like?

Many of our clients at KEMPS Skin Clinic liken the sensation of Laser Hair Removal to a small elastic band snapping against the skin. While you would not actively seek such a sensation, it is very much preferable to feeling the roots of your hair getting ripped out as you do with hot wax.

At KEMPS Skin Clinic, we use the superior Candela Gentle Lase system, which includes a patented Dynamic Cooling Device. This system sprays a layer of cryogen on the skin milliseconds before the laser pulse, dramatically improving your level of comfort and rendering the hair removal treatment virtually painless.

What if Laser Hair Removal Does Hurt Me?

While Laser Hair Removal is a comfortable experience compared to other hair removal treatments, we do understand that pain thresholds differ between individuals. If you do experience pain during the treatment, talk to your qualified KEMPS Skin Clinic technician and we can make adjustments to get you through the treatment painlessly.

Painless Hair Reduction Treatment by KEMPS Skin Clinic

Painless Hair Reduction technology is the next-generation of laser hair reduction systems. It is a simple and easy permanent hair reduction solution that uses new breakthrough technology, often described as one of the most comfortable laser hair reduction options available today.

Certain factors which can influence pain experienced by the treatment include:

·         Skin type (Darker skin types find treatments more painful as there is more pigment in both the hair and the skin)
·         Hair type ( Thicker and darker hair will generally be more painful)
·         Hormonal Fluctuations (Menstruation for example) or if you are tired and stressed may increase sensitivity to the treatments as well.

Is it painful?

The majority of people find the Soprano laser very comfortable. Pain tolerance is subjective, but many patients often describe the sensation as soothing as a “hot stone massage.”

Since laser hair removal is only effective on short, visible hair, candidates should shave the desired area a few days before the treatment and let the hair grow into stubble. Do not wax or pluck hair beforehand, because hair may not grow back in time for your treatment.

What causes skin pigmentation on face and it’s treatment?

Facial pigmentation may be due to a generalized process but most often is localized to the face. Melasma and actinic damage pigmentation are common and tend to be bilaterally distributed and slowly progressive. Irregularly shaped isolated lesions should be viewed with more caution, and biopsy may be required. Treatments include topical and oral medications, peels, intense pulsed light therapy and laser treatment.

Causes

When your skin produces too much melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of your skin and hair, you may notice spots of discoloration or an uneven texture. A number of different factors can influence your body’s melanin production, including: 

Common causes of skin include:
  • Sun exposure
  • Hormonal changes
  • Heredity
  • Acne
  • Botched skin treatments

Diagnosis:

A doctor will diagnose pigmentation simply by looking at your skin. Your medical history will help to determine any factors that may have caused the disorder.

Our doctor may use a special lamp that gives off ultraviolet light. This allows the doctor to see patterns and depth of skin discoloration more clearly.

There are various causes of hyperpigmentation, including
  • Overexposure to the sun
  • Heredity
  • Picking at the skin
  • Endocrine diseases and hormonal changes
  • Certain medications such as antibiotics, cancer drugs, antiseizure 
  • drugs and more
  • Current or recent pregnancy, or current or recent use of birth 
  • Inflammation and skin injuries from acne lesions, psoriasis, burns, 
  • Friction and even certain professional skin care treatments.

Skin pigmentation laser treatment

Some lasers can be used for the treatment of skin pigmentation and have minimal or no impact on normal skin. This is possible due to the process of selective photothermolysis. This is a term that describes how a particular laser wavelength is attracted to pigmented lesions and only minimally to the normal skin to allow selective removal of a lesion. This allows the laser to selectively disrupt the pigment with minimal or no damage to surrounding skin

Treatment of skin pigmentation

There are many products available on the market for this condition; however, at KEMPS Skin Clinic near Vaishali metro station, we offer a range of medical procedures which have proven very effective in the treatment of skin pigmentation and other skin conditions.
