Arizona Leg Hair Removal

Leg hair removal can be quickly and easily achieved through modern laser therapies. Also known as intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment, these procedures create long-term results that last for many months, even years, and can sometimes even create a permanent reduction in unwanted growth. Because of the life cycle of human body hair, laser removal treatments can be especially effective on legs.

In humans, leg hair has a shorter growth cycle than other regions of the body due to the presence of hormones known as cytokines. Because laser therapy works by interrupting this natural growth cycle, results can be achieved in fewer sessions.

The patient response rate to laser removal techniques varies due to a number of factors, including:

  • Overall health
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Skin tone (lighter-skinned people respond more favorably)
  • Hair color (dark-haired people generally respond better)
  • Thickness of unwanted growth on legs
  • Success of previous attempts to remove or reduce growth

These factors must all be assessed by a doctor in a consultation session before an individual will be approved for laser treatment. Patients should clearly communicate expectations with the doctor beforehand, and receive education on the benefits, risks and side effects associated with the procedure. Generally, though, side effects are temporary and relatively mild, usually limited to minor skin irritation, redness and dryness that clear up within a few days following treatment.
