Laser Hair Removal Defined

Laser hair removal is a dermatological solution to help you remove unwanted hair anywhere on the body. Guaranteed to reduce re-growth laser hair removal can provide a way to ensure hair-free, stubble-free skin for men and women permanently.

Laser hair removal works by targeting and destroying the individual hair follicles in the targeted area. Using a intense light beam, the hair follicles are destroyed without harming the surrounding skin. The light beam targets the melanin in hair and the follicle is burnt.

Laser hair removal can be used on any part of the body. Dermatologists can safely remove hair from the bikini line, legs, underarms, face, back and many other areas.

Laser Hair Removal Procedure

The procedure for laser hair removal involves a pulsating light beam being passed through individual hairs to destroy the follicle. The beam of the laser can be regulated by pulse frequency and power according to the target area of hair. Hair should be short to allow the laser to target the root of the follicle.The procedure is not painful, however, the area may be numbed with a cooling lotion to prevent swelling and redness.

Laser Hair Removal Results

Laser hair removal does not guarantee complete removal of hair after one treatment. The amount of sessions needed to ensure permanent hair removal from the target area varies on the density and color of the hair, the are of the body being treated and the rate of regrowth.

On average, complete removal of hair on legs, chest or bikini line requires 4 sessions and areas where the hair is stronger. The upper arm, for example, has weaker hair and may need 6 sessions to see complete results. After each session, patients do notice a hair regrowth of approximately 15 percent less hair.

In-between laser hair removal sessions, patients should wait six to eight weeks to allow the hair to regrow. Following the last laser hair removal treatment, final results can be seen in six about months.
