Illinois Unwanted Hair Removal

Lasers can be used for the more or less permanent removal of unwanted hair. The technique began experimental use in the late 1970s and was first made available to consumers about a decade ago. Today, it can be used in the removal of unwanted facial hair, excessive body hair, thick hair on the arms or legs, or hair around the bikini line.

The process works by striking focused rays of light at the root of the hair beneath the skin. The light allows the technician to reach the hair's root without cutting it and to keep it from growing back by centering on the pigmentation in the hair itself. Because of that, laser hair removal works best with dark-brown or black hair, especially if it stands against pale, untanned skin. Lighter hair and darker skin can be treated as well, but the laser needs to be focused at a different wavelength, and experienced technicians are required (one of the reasons why a skilled service with access to a variety of lasers is beneficial when seeking the removal of unwanted hair).

Permanent hair removal is possible with laser surgery, but it isn't universal. In most cases, however, patients report a loss of 60 to 80 percent of body hair in the treated region. Loss of unwanted hair typically remains for several years, and when it does come back, the growth is slowed and the growing hairs are much thinner and lighter than they were before the treatment.
