Laser Leg-Hair Removal

Laser leg-hair removal is performed with a device that generates an intense beam of electromagnetic energy. Though initially created in 1960 by a physicist working at an aircraft company, today's laser is used for many applications, such as surgery, spider-vein elimination and precision-alignment drilling.

Dermatological procedures for leg-hair removal are performed in a series. After an area of the body has been treated with laser techniques and hair beings to grow again, the new growth is markedly less. In addition, the rate of follicle regrowth takes on a slower pace. A laser technician will usually repeat the process, anticipating only the visibility of minor peach fuzz or no hair at all.

Different parts of the human body have unique characteristics and follicle-growth rates. According to the American Association of Dermatology, scalp hair grows about one-half inch per month. The growth cycle for leg hair is shorter, due to the different levels of hormones called cytokines, which are regulated by the endocrine system.
