Laser Training Courses: What makes laser hair removal popular?

There has been a greater demand for cosmetology courses online in the last two years since the pandemic. With healthcare consultation going digital, aspiring doctors and medical professionals are also seeking online training courses to expand and improve their skills. Cosmetology is a lucrative field in practicing medicine. It is human nature for men and women to want to look good. And the various cosmetic procedures help people improve their aesthetic appearance.

Laser hair removal treatment is a popular cosmetic procedure among both men and women. No one wants to deal with unwanted body hair and opting for the laser procedure provides a long-lasting solution. At International Institute Of Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine (IICSAM), we provide laser hair removal courses for MBBS, BAMS, BHMS, and BDS graduates.

Below, we look at the reasons that make laser hair removal so popular.

Saves Time

The common alternatives to laser hair removal – waxing and shaving – takes up too much time and effort. To maintain clear, smooth skin, shaving has to be done once per week and waxing needs repeat sessions at the salon every 3-4 weeks. Why spend so much time on these inefficient hair removal methods when laser hair removal is both quick and effective?

Typically, a laser hair removal session takes no more than 30 minutes each. And the number of sessions for each patient may vary depending on individual factors. It targets multiple hair follicles at the same time, making it a quick and time-saving procedure.

Cost-Effective

A waxing appointment at a salon charges anywhere between Rs. 300 – Rs. 800. Consider this cost for a lifetime and a person ends up spending a large chunk of their savings on hair removal! Similarly for shaving, the cost includes razors, shaving creams, and after-shave lotions for a lifetime of supply.

In a laser hair removal procedure, the hair follicles are destroyed from the root and hence, stop the hair growth permanently. It may not be cheaper than the traditional hair removal methods, but it is definitely cost-effective in the long run.

Painless

With shaving, there is always a fear of small nicks and cuts. Waxing is a painful procedure for many, especially for those with sensitive skin. Laser hair removal procedure is completely safe, painless, and comfortable. Most patients describe the procedure as a sensation similar to a pinprick. It does not cause any discomfort or pain.

Suitable for All Skin Tones

Laser hair removal can be opted for by people of all skin colours and skin tones. When aspiring doctors take up laser hair removal courses, they are trained in how to change the settings in a laser machine. Technology has come a long way and nowadays, the intensity and the angle of the laser beams can be adjusted to suit the patient’s skin tone.

Precise treatment

In a laser hair removal procedure, the laser machine targets a specific area of the skin to destroy the hair follicles in that region. This makes it the best cosmetic procedure for people who are looking to remove hair from a particular area on their body such as the upper lips, nose area, or bikini line. It gives the patient direct and precise results.

Stops Hair Ingrowth

Some people are prone to having more ingrown hairs, which can be difficult to remove via shaving or waxing. In a laser hair removal procedure, the hair root is destroyed from within. Thus, it eliminates any chances of ingrown hair on your skin.

No Waiting for Regrowth

In waxing, there must be enough hair growth on the skin for the wax to stick to, making it easy to pull the hair out. This means there must be a certain period between appointments where hair regrowth is necessary. With laser hair removal, you can completely skip this hair regrowth phase.
