Hair Removal by Laser

If you're considering hair removal by laser treatment, you are not alone. An estimated one and a half million Americans undergo this procedure every year, and the industry is growing rapidly. Since the FDA first approved the use of lasers for hair removal in 1997, yearly treatment totals have increased by an average of 18 percent. This means that by the year 2010, more than six million laser treatments will be performed annually.

The popularity of hair removal by laser treatments is due to several factors. First, the results are permanent for many clients. Some people may require a yearly touch up session, but by and large, hair will not grow back. For those with excessive back, chest, or facial hair, this can be a huge relief. Second, hair removal by laser treatment takes very little time. Each session is typically less than 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Finally, laser hair removal is virtually pain-free, which makes it an enticing alternative to waxing or shaving.

Hair Removal by Laser Can Prevent Side Effects

Shaving can cause side effects like skin irritation and razor bumps. With laser hair removal, getting rid of razor bumps is inherent. Razor bumps are caused when curly hair grows back after being trimmed. But laser hair removal stops hair from growing at all-so razor bumps are a thing of the past.

Skin irritation is also eliminated because there is no razor to scrape the epidermis.
