Whether a patient wants to try hair removal treatment techniques for the face or legs, there are several ways to approach this unwanted growth. Over the counter methods are generally less effective than those administered under a doctor's care. Though such methods are less expensive, laser hair removal has proven to be much more effective, offering long term hair elimination.

Along with the advancements in laser hair removal treatment techniques, oral medications have also been developed to assist in stopping hair growth. Sometimes, a professional will recommend an oral medication to inhibit hair growth if a medical condition exists. For most people, however, laser treatment is a more viable option.

Hair Removal Treatment Techniques Are Based on a Patient’s Physical Makeup

Laser hair removal treatment techniques are typically performed on certain areas of the body. The time it takes to perform the treatment varies, but guidelines can be approximated as follows:

Back laser hair removal: one to three hours
Underarms: several minutes
Shoulders: one to twenty minutes
Bikini line: eight to ten minutes
Chin: two to three minutes

Not all hair is visible on the surface of the skin, and growth goes between active and resting stages. The growth cycle of body hair lasts only a few months and a percentage of the hair is in a resting stage, making multiple treatments and different techniques necessary for some areas of the body.

An evaluation of a specific skin type and hairline is recommended before hair removal treatment techniques. A professional skincare facility, such as NuU Medspa, can provide targeted treatment options.
