Laser Hair Removal for Legs and Body: What to Expect & What Not?

The web is flooded with articles and posts about the procedure of laser hair removal and the many benefits it has. However, there are very few posts that let us know what we can expect and what not after going through laser hair removal for legs and other body parts.
The below information briefs you about the after effects and results of laser hair removal for legs and body parts.
Pinkness, slight redness or a bit of itchiness: This feeling lasts for not more than 24 hours after the laser hair removal is done for legs or any other body parts. Some people describe the sensation irritating but considering the results, the slight uneasiness for a day is worth. For extremely sensitive people, a call to their cosmetic dermatologist is advised if the feeling persists for longer or is intolerable. Skin specialists recommend topical creams and oral medications to make this feeling bearable.
Shedding:  There would be less hair growth and so few maintenance sessions with shaving would be required. Hair follicle shed after 10 to 15 days of the treatment procedure. The shedding process looks like blackheads or stubble on the skin which is pushing its way out of the follicle.  Doctors recommend exfoliation during this stage to make hair shedding easier and faster.
Hair regrowth: Laser works and disables only the hair follicles in Anagen phase. So in approx. 30 days post the procedure of laser hair removal, the resting phase hair wakes up and shows its head on the body and leg. These hairs can be shaved but never waxed or wiped out with a cream.
The second session of the laser hair removal procedure can be scheduled at this stage that is when the resting phase hair grows back. This is between 30 to 45 days after the first session of laser hair removal procedure.
It’s of high importance that you speak to your cosmetic dermatologist on each and every parameter about the procedure. Never hesitate to get your queries answered from a doctor who understands skin and hair better.
