Hair can be removed using the light energy produced by lasers which targets the hair follicle. Permanent hair reduction can be achieved by using the laser to treat unwanted hair at its root. Several treatments may be necessary in order to treat all susceptible hairs. Minimal discomfort is the rule since patients receive both topical anesthetic cream and cooling of the skin during the treatment. Laser hair removal is the answer for the ongoing daily or weekly battle with unwanted hair and painful ingrown hairs.
Several months following treatment, hair growth usually returns and requires re-treatment. The returning hair is often less thick and prominent. The course of treatments are generally spaced four to six weeks apart. At total of three to six treatment may be needed to achieve significant hair reduction. Areas treated include the legs, thighs, bikini, upper lip, chin ears, beard, chest, back and belly. The color of your skin is no longer a barrier to removing unwanted hair.
Uncommon side effects are temporary discoloartion of skin, redness, crusting and bruising.
