But with the development in the field of aesthetic technology, this problem can be solved. Read the article below to know more regarding hair removal by Nexus
Laser hair removal is a treatment that removes hair by using light scattering methods up to the roots. Through this method hair roots are selectively destroyed by heat. The absorbed laser will turn into heat and continue to kill the hair roots. This will cause the hair to remain dead. For Asian skin, the appropriate lasers are Diode and Long Pulse Nd: YAG.
Because the laser is absorbed by the hair’s pigment, it is particularly effective on hair that is on an active growth phase. At this stage, the hair is thick so the absorption of the laser is at the highest and acts most effectively. Hair that grows in the Telogen or Catagen phase does not absorb the laser well. The melanin content is low so it doesn’t die. Therefore the laser treatment needs to be done for a period of 6 to 12 weeks. This is intended to allow the hair which is in Telogen or Catagen phases to become the Anagen phase.
Laser diodes are very effective for people with fair skin and for those with dark skin, the best treatment is to use a Long Pulse Nd: YAG laser. It is suitable for Asian skin and has the ability to eliminate excessive hair effectively.
The main principle of this hair removal laser is selective photothermolysis. The laser emits a long, special wave that warms the hair follicles and causes them to break down. The laser will have no effect on the skin as it only removes hair.
Laser light is guided on the skin. Light energy is absorbed by high pigment areas, such as hair, where it is transferred as heat energy. Hot energy then warms the hair, damaging the follicles. The follicles cannot produce new hair growth because energy has been absorbed by the highest pigmentation areas where laser hair removal is the most effective in people with dark hair and fair skin. Each laser pulse, which takes at least a fifth to convey, targets a lot of hair at once. Sessions to remove armpit hair, for example, takes 20 minutes.

Following the removal of laser hair, moisturizers and sunscreen are important. Avoid makeup. Sun exposure should be avoided as hair loss occurs gradually during this period and to avoid any adverse effects during the recovery period.
To get good results, it is recommended that clients get laser treatment 3 times and above. This is because 90% of patients who undergo laser hair removal treatment are satisfied that the treatment is effective and has a lasting effect on hair loss after an average of three to five sessions.
