What is Soft Laser?
Soft laser technology is one of the newest additions to the cosmetic surgery
options. Usage of laser as cosmetic surgery weapon has been in the field for quite a while, however, the use and introduction of soft laser technology is quite contemporary compared to other procedures. Its most famous usage is in acne treatment and hair removal therapy.
The laser treatment on hair removal has been acclaimed much these days. The soft laser removes the hair completely working on the follicle but at the same time leaves no affect on the skin. The procedure is said to have the least side effect on skin. Unlike other hair removal therapies- like waxing or using creams, laser therapy provides a long term solution. It takes 1.5 to 3 months of intervaled procedures to come up with a 95% full body hair removal solution. Hence, the procedure goes slow on body.
Common misconceptions about soft laser hair removal therapy:
Like any other idea of the world- there are two schools of thoughts about soft laser therapy too. One school seems to have some pointless notions about soft laser hair removal. Lets check some of these out-
• Myth: laser technology to remove hair harms other vital organs:
This is so not true! The soft laser used at hair removal hardly penetrates 1-5mm of skin. How is it going to reach any vital internal organ of the body? Also after reaching this depth- it dissipates completely and thus it is never returned. The beam of laser used hence slightly slides over the skin surface with little/no scope to damage the slightest of the surface. The highest possible reaction for this can be a little redness in the skin- which occurs even when one is going for waxing!
• Myth: Laser Treatment leaves scar on the skin and causes hair ingrowth:
Scarring is a problem associated completely with the process of electric hair removal- not laser! In the former one, the scars are induced by the needle that pokes the skin, but in case of laser- there is nothing to scar or poke the skin.
Hair ingrowth again cannot be associated with laser technology- it occurs most of the time after waxing. In fact, to overcome such problems most of the beauticians these days prescribe laser treatments for hair removal.
• Myth: Laser treatments are too expensive!
Yes, at first glance anyone would say the procedure is expensive. However, lets take a look at the cash flow statement of every women spending how much money on hair removal procedures each year. Now multiply it by 10 or 20! That’s the actual amount that laser technology saves you from! Now, does it look gigantic anymore?
Peoples’ reaction about these:
Again, there are two schools! One group of people always the daredevils- the opinion leaders! They don’t care what the myths say- they opt for fact and the truth. These are the people who are increasingly using soft laser treatments for acne as well as hair removal.
