Hair growth in different parts of the body is a natural
phenomenon. It can however also become a great inconvenience. Over hundreds of
years, people have chosen to get rid of hair for several reasons- hygiene,
aesthetics, and comfort. People often go to a great extent of pain and
discomfort for hair removal with methods like sugaring, waxing, shaving, and
threading. Thankfully, those days are over and now you can get the benefit of
the Holy Grail in the beauty world- laser hair removal in Nepal!
One
day you are looking in the mirror thinking of what to do with the unwanted body
hair in your body. After several months, you’re standing in front of the same
mirror running your hands through smooth beautiful hairless skin, and realize
that it is going to be that way forever. Sounds like a miracle, right?
Actually, it’s not magic, just science. That’s the beauty of Laser Hair
Removal. It is a skilled, unique, and life-transforming process.
Laser Hair Removal in Nepal
Nepal
is widely known for having affordable and quality laser hair removal clinics.
However, there are only a handful of reliable and good clinics. It is important
to do proper research so that you get the best results out of the cost you put
in the treatment.
Different
techniques of removing hair have been prevalent for centuries now. But
the way these techniques work are completely different. Laser removal
techniques have evolved and become extremely advanced and safe. Due to lack of
proper awareness, and often misinformation, a lot of myths have stayed intact
in the society about this wonderful process. Let’s break these myths, one by
one.
Laser Hair Removal Myths & Facts
1.
Myth: The procedure is Painful
Fact: It only gives a slight tingling sensation.
Many
people are scared to try Laser Hair removal because they think that this is a
very painful procedure. However, that is not true at all. Most patients
describe it as a slight tingling sensation on the body. Depending on your skin
type, numbing creams are often used to mitigate any chances of pain during the
process. Moreover, compared to painful processes like waxing and sugaring,
laser hair removal feels extremely painless.
2.
Myth: Laser hair removal works well only for fair skin
Fact: It works equally well for brown/tanned skin too.
Traditionally,
laser hair removal worked only on fair skin. The reason is that laser removal
worked by targeting the hair roots and destroying them. With the outdated
technique, the laser would not precisely target the roots due to the presence
of melanin (found in brown/tanned skin). It would be difficult for the laser to
differentiate between the dark skin and hair. However, with the advancement in
technology, the precision and accuracy of laser machines have increased
exponentially providing amazing results on all types of skin.
3.
Myth: Getting rid of hair permanently takes up to years of
treatment.
Fact: Only a few sessions are required for laser hair removal.
The
best results take patience, but you don’t need to wait for years with laser
hair removal. Laser hair removal targets active hair follicles only. However,
our body hair keeps growing in phases or cycles. To ensure that all hair is
removed permanently, it might take a few sessions to target all hair in each
stage.
This
is usually stretched out in intervals of a few months. Generally, permanent
results can be seen after a series of three to six laser hair removal
treatments, with each session spaced four to six weeks apart. This way, you
will be completely hair-free by the end of the sessions and enjoy relaxing
times for the rest of your time after that.
4.
Myth: Laser hair removal is very expensive
Fact: It is the most cost effective in the long run
There are a lot of temporary hair removal options available in
the market today- shaving, waxing, epilators, etc. Considering all the options,
which includes a razor that can be brought in the market for as much as fifteen
rupees, there is a common myth: Laser hair removal is expensive!
However
when we look at the long term, laser hair removal is the most cost-effective.
It not only provides permanent hair removal, but is also extremely safe.
Moreover, all the hassles and money spent on going to parlour every two weeks/
shaving every other day- all that time is also saved. And as we know very well,
time is money!
5.
Myth: The procedure is not safe at all
Fact: Laser
Hair Removal is absolutely safe with minimum side effects
As
long as you get the treatment done from a reputed, certified clinic, this
process should not worry you at all. You should always look for an FDA approved
Laser hair removal system. Moreover, you should opt for a certified
dermatologist as well. Skin is the most sensitive part of the body, and laser
hair removals have been designed considering all the safety in mind. There
might be minimum side-effects like redness or itching right after the
treatment, but these are all temporary.
The
procedure is carried out only after determining your skin type. The
dermatologist will generally give you a personalised consultation, and
precautions to follow before and after the procedure so that you get the best
out of the treatment. At Folliderm, you can get a free patch test done so that
you are satisfied with the results and do the hair removal tension-free!
6.
Myth: Laser hair removal actually causes more hair to grow.
Fact: Laser Hair Removal gets rid of all hair permanently.
The
other methods of hair removal like shaving, threading, and waxing remove hair
only from the surface. Due to this, the quality and quantity of hair growing
back on you can vary according to the process you used and the way you used
them. However, it is not the same with Lasers. Laser targets hair roots and
destroys them completely. Therefore, the hair removal is permanent.
7.
Myth: You can’t get laser hair removal treatments during the
summer.
Fact: This treatment
can be performed all year round.
People
generally get rid of hair to be free of hassles and wear clothes according to
their wishes in the summer. So, the time from October to April is also known as
the laser hair removal season. You can read more on why winter is preferable
here: https://folliderm.com/best-time-for-laser-hair-removal/
However,
this doesn’t mean that you need to wait for a whole season to get laser hair
removal done. You just need to avoid sun exposure before and after the
treatment. You need to take one thing very seriously: don’t lie out in the sun
or get a tan within 72 hours of your laser hair removal treatment. With a
consultation from the dermatologist, you can get the proper dos and don’ts, so
you can get the dream results no matter the season.
8.
Myth: Laser Hair Removal is only for women
Fact: It is
for both women and men.
An
increasing number of men have started getting laser hair removals. Because why
not? It’s so easy to get done, it’s affordable, and it comes with amazing
results. Many do it for aesthetic reasons, but many men prefer to do it for
good hygiene as well. Laser hair removal is a treatment that is not
secluded to any gender, any skin type, or colour. Since this process does not
require extreme medication, there won’t be any adverse side effects in either
of them.
9.
Myth: Laser Hair Removal in Nepal is not a good option
Fact: There
are excellent options in Nepal.
The
doctors are also competent and skilled. Now, the latest technology and advanced
lasers are also available in Nepal. The prices are also great compared to other
places around the world. With good research, laser removal in Nepal can
actually be the best there is! You just need to find the good clinics.

were some Myths about Laser Hair Removal!
