This treatment is best done for oily, acne-prone skin. Carbon peel treatment works well on blackheads, open pores, and dull skin. If your skin is dry and flaky, avoiding or delaying this treatment is better. Using the right hydration creams, moisturizers, and sunscreens will be good for preparing your skin for a carbon facial. Therefore getting your skin examined by a skin specialist is vital before taking your session.
Benefits of laser hair removal include:
Precision. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
Speed. Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour.
During the procedure, the pigment in your hair will absorb a light beam from a laser. The light will be converted to heat and damage that hair follicle. Because of that damage, the hair will stop growing. This is done over two to six sessions.
Just before the procedure, thehair that will be undergoing treatment will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface. Usually, the technician will apply a topical numbing medicine 20-30 minutes before the procedure to help with the sting of the laser pulses. They'll also adjust the laser equipment according to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated, as well as your skin color.
The technician will give the treatment area a pulse of light. They'll watch for several minutes to make sure they used the best settings and that you aren't having a bad reaction.
Lasers that can be used at home for hair removal are available. These devices might cause modest hair reduction. But there are no large studies comparing how effective these devices are compared with laser hair removal done at a doctor's office.
If you choose to use a home laser hair removal device, follow the instructions that come with the device to help reduce the risk of injury, especially eye injuries.
