What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal involves using concentrated light or a laser to remove hair from an area of the body.

Laser hair removal involves using concentrated light or a laser to remove hair from an area of the body. It’s an ideal, pain-free alternative to waxing, tweezing, and shaving to remove unwanted or excess hair due to its long-lasting effects. 

Laser hair removal treatment is commonly done on the underarm, bikini line, face, leg, back, arms, and chin areas. It is also commonly used to treat excess hair growth conditions, including hirsutism and hypertrichosis. However, there are parts of the body where laser hair removal is not recommended, including the eye area or anywhere with tattoos.

Most laser hair removal operates with IPL or BBL therapy. Intense pulsed light (IPL) uses bursts of light to treat concerns like hyperpigmentation, scars, and enlarged pores. Broad-spectrum light (BBL) contains multiple types of wavelengths, targeting the melanin in the hair follicles for more effective and targeted results. 

Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal has been proven to offer effective results, making it one of the most common treatments in the United States. Its effectiveness comes from the ability of the laser to precisely target coarse hairs without damaging the surrounding skin.

The quick nature of the treatment means you can book a laser hair removal session for your lunch break or as a quick weekend appointment, as most last less than 30 minutes.

Laser Hair Removal Results

Most patients will undergo several sessions of laser hair removal to ensure long-term results, with most averaging three to seven sessions. As the hair follicle is damaged or destroyed, most will not grow back. 

If the hair does regrow, it is likely to be a lighter color, sparse and less noticeable as the hair follicle has been damaged. It’s best to consider laser hair removal as a long-term method of hair removal rather than a permanent option.
