External Result Factors

Some of them will not intervene with how well the hair follicle is disabled but may lead to other unwelcome results for you. These external factors can also enhance your chance of developing side effects from the procedure. That’s why, it is a good idea for your health and comfort to ensure you examine these issues and have them under control before your appointment.

Tanning or sun exposure – For achieving the best results all laser hair removal candidates should be at their lightest skin tone at the time of treatment. Having even the slightest tan can make it harder for the laser light to pass through your skin in order to heat up the hair follicle. Being a light skinned person with a light tan makes the treatment more difficult than being a darker skinned individual who has no tan or sun exposure at all. Your practitioner may even give you a topical bleaching cream to use in the days or weeks before your appointment and regular sunscreen use is recommended.

Herpes - The warmth from the laser light can cause herpes infection to turn out to be active if it is in the position of the area to be treated. Any such infection should be argued with you practitioner previous to treatment.

History of scarring - A history of abnormal scarring can cause scarring directly from your procedure. Scarring is usually not of high alarm to those that do not have this kind of history, but if you do then you should talk about it with your practitioner before the procedure begins.

Overall Assessment
Laser hair removal candidates with light skin, dark hair, and with no external factors will achieve the best results from this procedure. They will need the least amount of treatments as well as they will have quicker treatments that need less skill and proficiency. This will make their treatments more cost effectual while producing a better result at the same time. They are followed by medium skinned people with dark hair and dark skinned people with dark hair.

People with light skin and light blond or red hair are difficult to treat. They may only achieve a reduction in hair thickness. On the other hand, the worst candidates for laser hair removal are people with darker skin and with white or grey hair. These candidates may even be impossible to treat, leaving them to turn to other methods to get their desired result.
