Laser Nipple Hair Removal (Breasts)

Human beings have hair follicles all over their body. In fact, those tiny bumps around your nipples are hair follicles. Furthermore, many women experience breast hair on their areolae (that pigmented circles around your nipple).

So it's totally normal to have hair in this area if you do. The underlying causes that lead to the growth of nipple hairs are a common occurrence., which helps explain why hairy nipples are common. Some include:

• Fluctuations in hormones
• Certain medicines can cause unusual hair growth as a side effect.
• Pregnancy

Generally, hair on your breast isn't much cause for concern unless some other symptoms accompany it. If that's the case, talk to your doctor. They can determine whether something more serious is going on.

The laser targets the hair exclusively by focusing on the pigment cells that reside in the hair follicle. That light energy from the laser is absorbed by the melanin pigment and is then converted to heat, which permanently damages and destroys the hair follicles. Once the follicle is damaged, hair growth ceases. Laser hair removal targets hairs that are in their active growth phase. This means it's essential to attend all your appointments because your hair follicles are all at different stages of their growth. Hence, you want to make sure each hair has a chance to get lasered.

Due to recent advancements in laser technology, the treatment can safely banish all breast hair without causing any significant side effects or injuries. The laser will not hurt or damage your delicate skin, nor will it leave any marks.

Some potential minor side effects including itching, redness, and swelling around the treatment area. These side effects rarely last more than two or three days. That said, it's important to make sure the person doing your laser hair removal is experienced and suitably qualified.

How about pain? We'll be honest. The process isn't exactly enjoyable. Laser treatment is often compared to the sensation of flicking a rubber band on your skin repeatedly.

Comfortable? Not really. Tolerable for most patients? Yes. Suppose you have a low tolerance for pain. In that case, we can use a topical anaesthetic or numbing cream to make the procedure even more tolerable.

The exact number of treatment sessions and the period gap between them greatly depend on the following factors:

• Colour of hair
• Area to be treated
• Hair coarseness
• Overall hair growth density

But generally speaking, laser hair removal permanently removes about 80 to 90% of breast hair after a complete treatment series of five to six sessions. Remember, this success rate can only be achieved after the required number of laser hair treatment sessions.

If you've previously undergone breast implant surgery and are worried that laser hair removal will affect your implants, don't be. The laser is not powerful enough to penetrate beyond your skin's upper layers to reach deeper tissues. Even if it could, the laser wouldn't do anything to them due to the way this specific laser works.

Baring your skin isn't always the easiest thing to do, especially in more intimate parts like the bikini area and breasts. But rest assured, you have no reason to feel self-conscious. We treat numerous patients daily and never pass judgment on one's appearance. Just the opposite, we commend you for choosing to remove nipple hair that's interfering with your aesthetic goals.
