Professional Laser Hair Removal

Permanent laser hair removal has become a prevalent choice for consumers of a wide demographic. No matter what type of hair-removal solutions consumers get, they should know what to expect and look for at a professional facility.

Upon a consumer’s start of a laser session, the professional practitioner will describe the process and how it works. This is followed by an explanation of the type of laser being used and details about any cooling solutions applied during the process. Additionally, a qualified professional will take the time to go over any safety procedures that should be tended to before and after the treatment. While this type of work is relatively safe, a person should be prepared to sign a consent form.

Regulations Exist for Unwanted Hair Removal

The FDA regulates laser equipment and procedures through the Center for Devices and Radiological Health. However, the actual profession of hair removal is normally regulated by local and state authorities. The process of laser treatment is deemed a permanent hair-reduction method by the International Guild of Hair Removal Specialists as well as the FDA. At this time, gray or red hairs--known as those without pigment--do not fall under the permanent-removal category spelled out by the FDA.

Laser services take anywhere from several minutes to one hour to adapt to the various follicle-growth cycles. For best results, a patient should expect multiple sessions to laser the unwanted hair during an active-growth cycle.
