In men, hair growth on the shoulders is a genetic variation, but when it's excessive, it is an outcome of androgen excess. Some men choose to embrace shoulder hair as a part of their natural appearance, while others choose to manage shoulder hair through trimming or shaving. For those seeking to minimize shoulder hair permanently, in such cases, permanent laser hair reduction in Delhi is an ideal option.
How Does Laser Work for Removing Unwanted Shoulder Hair in Men?
The laser light precisely targets the melanin pigment present in the follicles of the undesirable shoulder hair. Melanin pigment absorbs the thermal energy generated by the laser light. This damages only the active, targeted hair follicles and stops/slows further hair growth.
For an 80-90% reduction in unwanted shoulder hair, men typically require 6-10 treatments, spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Multiple sessions are needed in a specific time interval, as not all of the targeted hair follicles belong to the anagen (growth) phase of the hair growth cycle during one session. A specific time is required for the targeted hair follicles to reach the growth phase.
The Process:
Initial Consultation- A licensed dermatologist or laser technician will thoroughly assess the client’s skin to determine skin health, skin type, and skin tone, as well as hair type. A patch test will be conducted to adjust the laser device settings to ensure there are no unwanted skin reactions.
Pre-Treatment Precautions- The candidate must avoid smoking, sun exposure, or tanning, and have clean, shaved shoulder skin for the appointment.
During the Session- Both the candidate and professional will be wearing protective eyeglasses. The professional will apply the laser light in pulses onto the targeted area, section by section. When the laser light hits the targeted area, it feels like a quick snap or warm, pricking sensation. The cooling system of the laser, along with the use of a topical numbing agent, can be used to ensure a totally painless treatment experience.
For both shoulders, the session lasts for around 10-20 minutes.
After the Session- Slight redness, irritation, and swelling are expected to be there for a few hours. A cooling or soothing cream will be applied to calm the skin.
Post-Treatment Care - The candidate must avoid direct sun, heat, and chemical exposure, as well as waxing or depilating between sessions.
