Laser Treatment for Hair Removal

If you've ever experienced the pain of an ingrown hair or the irritation of razor burn, you've undoubtedly given some serious thought to more permanent means of hair removal. Laser treatment for hair removal allows individuals an alternative to temporary hair removal methods like shaving, plucking and waxing.

What to Expect from Laser Treatment for Hair Removal

When you receive laser hair removal treatments, the laser targets all hair follicles in their active stages of growth. The laser's unique light is attracted to the hair follicle's pigment and damages the follicle so it can never grow hair again. Since the laser is only effective on hair in its active phase, you'll need to obtain repeated treatments in order to catch those hairs that were in their dormant phase during prior sessions.

Generally, laser treatment for hair removal is a fast process. Most lasers can target about 10 hairs per second, meaning a clinician can treat a moderate-sized area in a relatively short amount of time. If you've ever had an electrolysis session (where the aesthetician has to treat each hair follicle individually), you'll be pleasantly surprised by how much can be accomplished in one laser treatment for hair removal.

To protect your eyes from the laser's light, you'll be provided with protective eyewear during your treatment. If you have particularly sensitive skin, you may also be offered the option of an anesthetic ointment which will slightly numb the area.
