How The Laser Hair Removal Process Works

Laser hair removal is a process that has been around for the past 12 years commercially and the past 30 years experimentally. Many dermatologists now recommend laser hair removal to be done instead of waxing because waxing can cause severe damage to the skin. There are stories of people needing stitches after waxing and laser hair removal is much less painful, by far.

Many people have the misconception that laser hair removal only takes one session at most and then the hair is gone forever. This is not the case at all. From beginning to end, the laser hair removal process is rather long.

First of all, many sessions are needed depending on the area being treated and the hair growth cycle of the person. In addition, there needs to be a lot of time in between sessions to allow the skin to heal and the hair to re-grow. In all, the laser hair removal process can stretch to as much as half a year or more! However, after that, only annual sessions are needed to touch up any areas that have experienced some hair re-growth. So, what else is there to know about laser hair removal?

1. The most expensive place to get hair removed from your body is going to be the face and the back. The least expensive place to have hair removed is the underarms.

2. When the area is being treated by laser, the technician will apply a gel over the entire area. The gel will keep the skin cool when the laser is applied.

3. The discomfort caused by the laser on the skin is very mild and fades very quickly. Most people describe it as having a small elastic band snapped on the skin.

4. People with light skin and dark hair will get the best results from laser hair removal. However, there are lasers that target dark hair on dark skin now, so more and more people are able to get the hair removed by laser. For best results with this, do not tan so that the skin is white as possible.

5. Do not use any lotions or creams on the skin prior to treatment as this can cause problems for the technician trying to target the hair follicles.

6. The laser will target the hair follicle to prevent the hair from growing again.

7. Due to the fact that hair grows in cycles, the technician will have to have you come in for about three to eight sessions in order to remove the hair completely from that area.

8. Other areas that are commonly treated include the chest, pubic area, bikini area, arms, legs, hands, neck and even the feet.

If you have questions about laser hair removal, or you are worried about the process, just talk to your dermatologist and they will be able to quell any fears you may have and help you remove that unwanted hair for good, with just annual sessions.
