Laser Hair Removal: Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair!

Are you tired of the endless cycle of waxing, shaving, or epilating? These traditional hair removal methods offer only temporary results and can be time-consuming, painful, and may cause skin irritation. Laser hair removal provides a long-lasting solution, giving you smooth, hair-free skin with minimal discomfort. 

Laser Hair Reduction is also effective for managing unwanted hair growth caused by hormonal imbalances, such as those seen in conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), menopause, or thyroid disorders. However, the presence of hormonal fluctuations can influence the treatment's efficacy and may necessitate a tailored approach.​

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin, converting the light energy into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth. As we can understand by the above statement, LHR works on melanin pigment in hair so naturally it will not have any effect on white hair. So for white hair we have to undergo different procedures like tripolar RF.

Hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of androgens (male hormones like testosterone), can lead to excessive hair growth in areas such as the face, chest, and back—a condition known as hirsutism. While LHR targets hair follicles to reduce hair growth, ongoing hormonal stimulation can cause new hair follicles to become active, potentially leading to regrowth even after treatment.

• Long-lasting results: Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.
• Precision: The laser can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surroundingBenefits of Laser Hair Removal skin undamaged.
• Speed: Small areas can be treated in minutes, and larger areas can be treated more quickly than with other methods.
• Effectiveness: Most patients experience significant hair reduction after a few sessions.
• Reduced ingrown hairs: Laser hair removal can help prevent and reduce ingrown hairs.
• Cure strawberry skin: if you have strawberry skin that can be treated with laser hair reduction.
• Minimal side effects: When performed by a qualified professional, side effects are usually minor and temporary.

• Positive Outcomes: LHR has been shown to significantly reduce unwanted hair in individuals with hormonal disorders. 
• Treatment Duration: Patients with hormonal imbalances may require more sessions to achieve desired results compared to those without such imbalances.
• Maintenance: Regular maintenance sessions might be necessary to manage regrowth due to ongoing hormonal activity.
• By addressing both the symptoms and the root causes of hormonal hair growth, individuals can achieve more effective and lasting results with Laser Hair Reduction treatments.

Laser hair removal requires a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only effectively target hair follicles in the active growth phase (anagen).

• The number of sessions varies depending on the area being treated, your hair type, skin tone, and individual response.
• Typically, most patients require 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
• You may see a noticeable reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions.
• Maintenance treatments may be needed in the future to address any regrowth.
• Patients with hormonal imbalances may require more sessions to achieve desired results compared to those without such imbalances and regular maintenance sessions might be necessary to manage regrowth due to ongoing hormonal activity.
• After initial sessions your growth might come within a few days and weeks ; then with further sessions your growth will slowly take a longer duration to come back. 

At Twacha Skin Clinic, we are committed to providing you with the most advanced and effective hair removal solutions. We understand that each patient is unique, and we tailor our treatments to your specific needs and skin type.

Our Technology

• Diode Laser with Coherent Delivery Technology: Our diode laser uses the latest coherent delivery technology, which delivers targeted energy to the hair follicle with maximum precision and efficacy. This technology is highly effective for a wide range of skin types and hair colors, providing optimal results.
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): For finer hair, we utilize Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, effectively inhibiting hair growth.
• Tripolor RF: Twacha Skin Clinic also offers Tricolor RF, a specialized treatment for grey hair removal. This advanced technology uses radiofrequency energy to target and destroy the hair follicle, even when there is minimal pigment.
• Nd:Yag laser: fine hair can be treated with this laser; this laser has a tendency to bleach fine hairs which can not be targeted by Diode or intense pulse light.

The exact mechanism behind paradoxical hypertrichosis remains unclear, but several factors have been associated with its occurrence:​

• Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can predispose individuals to increased hair growth, which might be exacerbated by laser treatments.​
  
  
• Skin and Hair Type: Individuals with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types III–VI) and dark, coarse hair are more susceptible.​
  
  
• Treatment Areas: The face and neck are more commonly affected regions.​
  
  
• Inflammatory Responses: Laser-induced inflammation might release growth factors that stimulate hair follicles.​

If paradoxical hypertrichosis occurs, several strategies can be considered:

• Continued Laser Treatments: DO NOT STOP YOUR TREATMENT. As paradoxically, further LHR sessions may eventually reduce the unwanted hair growth. ​
  
  
• Topical Treatments: Eflornithine cream can slow facial hair growth by inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, which is involved in hair follicle function.​
  
  
• Medical Evaluation: Assessing and managing underlying hormonal disorders can be crucial in addressing the root cause of excessive hair growth.​
