What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is the procedure wherein hair on the growth cycle is targeted using laser or pulsed light. The melanin on the hair is the one targeted. Once the laser passed through the follicle, the hair will be damaged and will be pushed out and eventually shed out. This is a safe hair removal treatment as long as it is performed by a professional.

Who can undergo laser hair removal?

Pulsed lights work best on people with light skin and dark hair. The laser knows exactly what to target – the dark pigment in the hair. If you have dark skin, the laser may also mistake your skin pigment as the hair pigment and may target it. But recently, special pulsed lights are made for people with dark skin.

How long do you have to wait to see the result?

It usually takes at least 10 to 14 days to see the treated hair start falling out. The hair will be pushed out and then it will start to shed. You will have to do another session so that the new hair on its growth cycle will be treated.

Which areas can be treated?

Any area of your body with unwanted hairs can be treated using laser hair removal. The most common parts subjected to laser hair removal are the legs, back, and face.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal is not considered as a permanent solution to unwanted hair but it is considered as a great hair reduction treatment. The new hairs grow finer, thinner, and less visible. Some hairs don’t grow anymore. After a few sessions, you will notice a significant reduction on hair growth on the specific areas treated.
