Illinois Laser Leg Hair Removal

For long-lasting results, laser leg hair removal is probably the best option. The procedure is relatively painless, can be done over large areas quickly, and results in a permanent reduction in growth.

How Laser Leg Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal has been found to be safe and effective for most patients. Doctors recommend this type of treatment over electrolysis for large areas, like the legs, back and arms, because it does not require the same precision and can be done fairly quickly.

Here's how it works:

  1. A beam of light (either a laser or broadband light, depending on the machine involved) is aimed at the desired area.
  2. The beam targets the melanin in the root bulb. The heat from the light not only burns away the shaft and root, it also permanently damages the follicle.
  3. This prevents it from growing another root.

Several sessions will be necessary, because the machine can only target new growth and not all follicles produce a root and shaft at the same time. After a normal course of treatments, generally six to eight, a patient can expect to see less growth, both in density and in rate. The cost makes this a big investment, but many people find that the time and money saved by not having to buy or use shaving or waxing supplies ever again is worth it.
