Everything You Need to Know About Laser Hair Removal

Are you looking for a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair from almost any part of your body? Laser hair removal is the answer! From the face to the legs, arms, armpits, bikini area, chest, back and more, laser hair removal can provide long-lasting results. Advances in laser technology have made it possible for people with darker skin to benefit from laser hair removal treatments. Men can also enjoy the benefits of laser hair removal on all parts of the body. When considering laser hair removal, it's important to understand that some areas are more sensitive than others and may require a topical anesthetic cream for maximum comfort.

It's also important to note that laser hair removal is not recommended for areas close to the eyes. Treatment intervals for any area of the face are likely to be shorter than those needed for other parts of the body due to the quick growth of facial hair. A laser hair removal treatment on the back or legs can take more than an hour due to the size of the surface. Patients should also limit sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment as sun exposure reduces the effectiveness of laser hair removal and increases the likelihood of complications.

Laser hair removal treatments allow hair follicles in the dormant phase to go into the active growth phase so that the laser can effectively remove them. Patients usually achieve lighter, thinner hair and an 80% reduction in the amount of hair in the bikini area with fewer treatments needed to get desired results.
