Cost
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective solution to remove unwanted hair from both your face and body. The procedure uses FDA-cleared lasers that target individual follicles to disable them so they no longer produce hair follicles; thus ending growth. Lasers also offer long-lasting results as they not only eliminate hair but can reduce fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging while simultaneously getting rid of unsightly unwanted body hair.
Cost of laser hair removal depends on several factors, including number and area treated; larger areas require more treatments than smaller ones, as do hair and skin color variations; darker hair usually responds better than light hair, while darker skin can be less sensitive to laser treatment.
Before beginning laser hair removal, a technician will first apply topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Next, laser energy passes through the top layer of skin and is absorbed by pigment from hair follicles; this damages and destroys them, thus stopping their production and leading to thinner, finer hairs growing back in their place. Eventually, all remaining hair becomes thinner over time due to this damage to their roots.
As laser energy is applied, you may feel a slight sensation of heat on the skin as the laser energy is delivered. Next, the technician will move the laser over your skin’s surface in order to target hair follicles and destroy them; they’ll do this until all treatment areas have been addressed and you can rinse off treated areas as per usual before returning to normal activities.
Laser hair removal can benefit virtually anyone bothered by unwanted body hair. However, it should not be attempted in those suffering from keloid scars, cold sores or other medical conditions affecting the skin; nor pregnant or breastfeeding women.
In order to achieve optimal results, a series of treatments must take place over a month or longer. Because hair grows in cycles, treatment should occur just when each hair begins its active growth phase – typically 6-8 treatments will suffice in this regard.
Time
Laser hair removal offers an effective alternative to conventional methods like shaving, tweezing and waxing that may lead to skin irritation and ingrown hairs; its pain-free treatments produce longer-term better results than standard methods; however it will require touch up treatments in order to maintain results.
Laser hair removal uses FDA-cleared lasers to permanently eradicate unwanted hair. These lasers emit pulses of energy directed at hair follicles to damage them enough so they no longer produce hair in that area. Over time, hair will return but will be thinner, lighter, and less numerous.
Treatment sessions usually last anywhere from five minutes to an hour, depending on the size and quantity of hair to be removed. Before beginning the procedure, your skin will be cleansed with special gel to prepare it for laser beam exposure, and protective goggles provided so it does not affect your eyes. A laser assistant may shave the treatment area before beginning treatment with laser handpiece in hand which targets hair follicles while simultaneously cooling surrounding skin – this treatment may be uncomfortable as there will likely be lots of hair in that area.
Laser hair removal treatments are usually performed every six to eight weeks until desired results have been reached. It is advised to begin treatment early so as to be completed prior to warmer weather returning and summer clothing coming back into fashion.
Laser treatment can do more than just get rid of unwanted hair; it can also be used to eliminate age spots, freckles and dark patches caused by sun damage or medications, remove capillaries and vascular lesions such as rosacea or port wine stains and treat capillary problems, such as port wine stains. Pregnancy or breastfeeding women, those prone to keloid scarring or those who have recently undergone chemical peel should avoid laser therapy treatments.

Laser hair removal works by applying pulses of energy – electrical and light energy with cooling – that target lower layers of your skin, where hair follicles exist. When these pulses of energy penetrate these deeper layers, they penetrate to absorb into and destroy hair follicles without harming surrounding tissue; after which these destroyed hair follicles no longer produce new hair growth, and your unwanted locks begin falling out slowly over time.
