There's a recent common misconception circulating about the effectiveness of laser hair removal. Don't get us wrong—it's a highly efficient treatment. But with laser hair removal it's often hard to fully eliminate thin, fine hair or facial hair.
And that's where laser hair bleaching comes into play!
If you're curious about how laser hair bleaching works and where you can find this treatment in Qatar, you're in the right place. So stick with us till the end!
But wait, maybe we should start discussing what laser hair bleaching is anyway.
Laser hair bleaching is a cosmetic treatment that lightens body fine hair instead of removing it due to its soft nature and color. Because laser hair removal can't target that type of hair to destroy the hair follicle, laser hair bleaching simply makes the hair less visible, blending it with the skin.
In the procedure, the dermatology team uses a special laser to target the pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft to lighten the color of hair in body areas like arms, back, or face. The treatment is quick, typically painless, and often used for sensitive areas.
Laser hair bleaching has plenty of benefits for the skin, let's explore some of them together:
As we mentioned earlier in this article, laser hair bleaching works by using a specialized laser to target the melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft. When the laser emits light, it is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, triggering a chemical reaction that breaks down the melanin. This lightens the fine hair and makes it less noticeable on the skin.
The average laser session is quick, typically lasting as little as 15 minutes. The dermatology staff at Al Siraj Medical Center will bleach the unwanted hair in the desired body area. After the procedure, the hair will lighten in color over the next two weeks before falling out.
After you undergo the laser hair bleaching procedure, your hair will change color before falling off. The results of this treatment typically last between 4 and 8 weeks, but the duration will vary depending on factors like hair growth cycle, the area treated, and the skin type. Therefore, patients would need consistent follow-up sessions to keep their fine hair invisible, especially for areas with faster hair regrowth.
The short answer is yes, laser hair bleaching is possible after laser hair removal, but it depends on the condition of the remaining hair. As you might know, laser hair removal targets and reduces the growth of darker, coarser hairs by damaging the hair follicles, leaving behind thinner or lighter hairs after the sessions.
Laser hair bleaching can be an excellent complementary treatment to address these remaining fine hairs. This treatment lightens them, making them less visible.
However, it's important to consult with a qualified dermatologist to ensure your skin is ready for the bleaching process, especially if you've recently undergone laser hair removal. They may recommend a waiting period to allow your skin to heal fully before starting any additional treatments.
