Before you decide to remove hair using laser, it is useful to know what this procedure is, especially in light of some myths that many still believe in.

The Russian "Shag Kzdarovio" website indicated that many women are thinking of removing excess hair using a laser, but they have not been able to make a final decision due to the many myths related to this modern procedure.

The site stated that exposing the prevailing myths about this technology may contribute to dispelling the doubts that hover around it.

1. Laser hair removal causes skin cancer


One of the common myths is that laser hair removal has a strong effect on the skin, leading to skin cancer.

But the laser in fact targets the hair only and does not harm the skin at all.

As for people who have a medical history with skin cancer, they must consult a doctor and obtain his approval before adopting this procedure.

Only in this case, it may be best to refrain from laser hair removal.

2. Lasers cause pain


Many people exclude this procedure due to the myth about the excessive pain caused by lasers.

But in fact, an anesthetic cream is applied to the skin before laser hair removal.

This is a relative matter, and depends on the sensitivity of the person's skin.

Most of the time, the pain during laser hair removal is minimal, and the person may feel warmth or a slight burning sensation that can be tolerated.

3. Laser hair removal is a very expensive procedure


This fact is somewhat true.

But before drawing conclusions we need to consider the long-term benefits of laser hair removal.

For example, you can calculate the amount of money you spend monthly on hair removal strips or wax, not to mention that other methods of hair removal have side effects such as itching caused by razors, without counting the time taken to remove hair by adopting these methods.

Accordingly, laser hair removal is an excellent investment in health and beauty, which will save you a lot of time and money.

One session per year may suffice to get rid of all the excess hair, depending on the thickness of the hair and its level of growth.

Facts related to laser hair removal


The Shag Kzdarovio website touched on the facts related to the use of laser, which would help rid you of all doubts, as well as learn more about this modern method of hair removal.

1. Laser hair removal will not be effective for people with thin blond hair.


The site reported that laser is not an effective method for everyone.

For example, if you have thin and light blond hair, trying laser hair removal is a waste of time and money, because blond hair contains a small percentage of melanin, which means that you need more sessions to get the desired result.

However, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result even after undergoing several sessions.

2- Before each laser hair removal session, it is necessary to shave the target area.


Another fact about laser hair removal, which may seem illogical, is that the exposed body areas must be carefully shaved.

This procedure is necessary even if the hair is very short.

3. Be careful of the sun


after laser hair removal. Do not be exposed to the sun directly.

And before undergoing the laser session, the sun should be avoided as much as possible as well.

In fact, it is advised to avoid sunbathing for at least three days before and after the session.

It is necessary to use a very good sunscreen to protect the skin as much as possible, since the skin is sensitive after hair removal and prone to irritation, and if it is exposed to sunlight, this will have serious consequences.

The site stressed the need to be careful when using some types of creams, as they may cause burns or pigmentation.

Experts also recommend avoiding these creams days before laser hair removal.
