The process of laser hair removal permanently removes or minimizes the amount of unwanted body hair from any location on your body. After being approved by the FDA over ten years ago, laser hair removal became commercially available to the public, though the technology dates back 1970s.
Treatment quickly gained popularity after being available in New York and across the nation. Men and women commonly choose laser hair removal as their preferred method of obtaining smoother skin. Success speaks for itself—it is preferred because it works.
While laser hair removal can be for everyone, there are conditions that impact the effectiveness of the procedure:
This procedure provides long-term results to individuals who want to eliminate unwanted body hair. Treatment is available almost anywhere on the body, beyond the common locations of legs, bikini, face, and underarms. Best results are seen after undergoing the necessary amount of sessions.
Hair removal results in permanent hair reduction by using lasers applied directly to the targeted area. The pigment in hair attracts the heat and light produced by the laser, which is then absorbed until the follicle reaches the dormant phase, resulting in a stop of hair production.
Laser hair removal can reduce the amount of hair by 20% to 90% for suitable clients. Since conditions are never the same for any two patients, results will vary for each person.
Undergoing several treatments will increase the likelihood of long-term hair removal, but missed or dormant follicles may still grow back in. The usual 6-8 treatments spread out with several weeks in between each may need to be further maintained with occasional treatments.
