What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is an extremely popular non-surgical aesthetic procedure, performed by about million Americans on a yearly basis. It is a non-invasive, convenient method to reduce hair and hair growth. With laser hair removal, you can remove unwanted hair safely with long term results and ultimately achieve permanent hair removal.

The Laser Hair Removal Procedure

Laser hair removal is safe for all skin types. The laser hair removal procedure destroys hair at its source, killing the base of the follicle under the skin, without damage to the surrounding skin.

Laser hair removal is quick and relatively painless. Any area of the face or body can be treated.

Depending on the skin area being treated, the laser hair removal may take anywhere from few minutes to several hours to complete. Usually, a low energy laser beam is utilized. The lower energy laser beam passes through the patient’s skin and is attracted to the hair pigment. The energy from the laser beam passes down the hair shaft and is absorbed by hair follicles that are in the actively growing, thereby disabling the hair follicle in the deeper layer of the skin. The hair follicles that are in dormant phase are not affected by the hair. In most cases, no anesthesia is required and you experience a minimum amount of pain, or no pain at all.

Multiple treatments are required to attack the different stages of growth.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Some of the benefits associated with laser hair removal are:
