Laser hair removal is a scientific, FDA-approved solution to eliminate unwanted hair. Laser energy targeted directly at hair follicles damages them so that new growth cannot form, thereby permanently disabling new hair growth from sprouting again.
Laser treatments work effectively on almost all skin and hair types, including those with tans and darker pigmented complexions. One factor affecting laser hair removal pricing may be how long each treatment session lasts.

Laser hair removal services vary in price depending on which area of the body and amount of hair is removed in each session. Smaller areas typically take less time, and thus cost less overall; however, each area requires multiple treatments in order to achieve permanent results; it is therefore essential that you understand how your chosen aesthetic professional charges before scheduling an appointment.
Hair growth occurs on nearly everyone, and traditional methods for its removal can be painful, time consuming and ineffective. By contrast, laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target specific hair follicles and damage them so they cannot produce new hair follicles – unlike shaving, waxing and plucking which take time and often cause ingrown hairs.
