Advantages of Seeking Laser Treatment for Hair Removal

Removing unwanted hair from the body is a cosmetic procedure that has been practiced by men and women for millennia. Today, shaving, waxing, and plucking are the most common ways people remove unsightly hair, but for these to be effective, they take time.

Fortunately, technology has advanced in the cosmetic hair removal field, and laser treatment is the ideal way to reduce unwanted hair. The smooth, clean skin will last for months, and even if some hair grows back, it will be pale and weak.

The top five advantages of seeking laser treatment for hair removal are:

Precision – The lasers can target one hair at a time or an area about the size of a quarter. This means you get the right treatment for small areas, such as your upper lip, or large areas, such as the legs, back, or chest.

Convenience – You no longer need to spend hours in front of a mirror plucking, buy razors and shaving cream or visit a salon for waxing.

Speed – It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to treat a small area, such as the underarm or bikini line, and about an hour to treat a large area.

Comfort – You will never again have to deal with ingrown hairs or rashes from shaving and waxing. It is a suitable treatment for any skin type.

Safety – Laser treatment for hair removal does not damage the surrounding skin and minimizes the risk of infections.

Laser treatment involves using laser light to heat the pigment in the hair follicle. This damages the follicle so that it cannot grow hair again. If a few hairs grow back, the treatment can be repeated.

Hair has three stages of growth. The treatment is only effective on hair that is in the growing stage. This is why it is necessary to have several treatments. Since the treated area may feel like it has been sunburned, and it takes a few weeks for the hair to be removed, the treatments are usually given about three to six weeks apart.

Before the treatment, our specialist may ask you to stop plucking, waxing or electrolysis for six weeks before the laser treatment because these affect the follicle. You may continue shaving, however, because it does not touch the follicle.

There are many advantages of seeking laser treatment for hair removal. It is a safe, effective way to have smooth, hair-free skin for months and sometimes for years after the treatment. Even if a small amount of hair grows back, additional laser hair removal treatments can easily remove it.
