Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has been rapidly gaining recognition for its benefits and advantages over other forms of controlling unwanted body-hair growth. What is involved in the procedure? In essence, it involves directing a concentrated beam of intense light at individual hair follicles in order to prevent growth.

Laser treatment has been constantly refined and innovated to today's standards. The only other form of proven permanent elimination up to then was electrolysis, and it remains a popular method for eliminating unwanted body growth. Some electrolysis kits are aimed at the home market, but correct application takes a skilled practitioner, so results are spotty at best. It is also considerably more painful and slower than some other treatments.

What should you keep in mind when considering laser hair-removal treatments? Here are some tips:

  • It is most appropriate for people with light skin color and dark hair, since the treatment works by targeting dark pigment and destroying it, making sure no more growth can occur
  • For those with darker skin, start by determining whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure
  • After treatment, expect the growth to fall out about 10 to 14 days later
