Laser Hair Removal

Do you have the odd chin hair that never goes away? Maybe you have a mustache, and you're not male! Yikes! Do not be dismayed. There are reliable, effective methods of getting rid of unwanted facial and body hair. In just moments, hair is removed and soft, smooth, stubble-free skin is revealed. With laser hair removal, you won't have to shave, tweeze, wax or have the cost of electrolysis. Laser hair removal is permanent.

Laser hair removal has improved with new technological advancements over the years. There are many less effective and not as safe lasers in operation today. You should locate a cosmetic center that uses the latest state-of-art equipment for your own safety and comfort.

You may wonder if there is much pain or discomfort involved in this procedure. Actually, with the laser hair removal treatment, a laser pulse is released and the resulting feeling has been compared to getting snapped with a rubber band. The affected area may become warm and turn red. Reactions to treatment are different for different areas of the body and the type of hair being treated. Usually, this lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. In most cases, you are able to return to your normal activities immediately.

A light beam from the laser is projected onto your skin where you have unwanted hair growth. This makes the hair follicle disabled and patients report almost no pain or side effects. Men and women both find laser hair removal treatment an effective, comfortable way to get rid of unwanted hair growth.

There is no one that is advised against having the laser hair removal treatment. This treatment does work best on someone with fair skin, dark hair, and one that is not tanned in the affected area. Darker skin types can also benefit from laser hair removal. If you do have darker skin, discuss the safety of their lasers as some of the older models can damage pigmented skin.

Treatment times vary. Facial areas can be treated in just a few minutes. Bikini lines and underarms take 10 minutes and for your legs, back, and chest, expect one to two hours in the cosmetic center.

If you are having other skin treatments, such as microdermabrasion, or cellulite smoothing, the laser hair removal can be done but usually not in the same day.

Contact your local center or physician for a consultation and be on your way to beautiful skin.
