If you are looking for a quick, effective way to get rid of unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be the solution for you. Laser hair removal is a good option for getting rid of hair in areas such as the legs, underarms, bikini line, and back. But what are the benefits of laser hair removal?
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses laser energy to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) at the base of the hair follicle. The laser light is converted into heat that damages the follicle and prevents further hair growth.
What Are The Benefits Of Laser Hair Removal?
Long-term Hair Reduction
Laser hair removal stops hair growth for the long-term. Patients that undergo laser hair removal enjoy hair-free skin for months, or years in some cases, but maintenance treatments are recommended.
Saves Time
Hair removal methods such as shaving and tweezing have to be done frequently, so they take a great deal of time over the years. Laser hair removal is much faster because once the required sessions are complete, clients don’t need additional treatments for a long time.
No Ingrown Hairs
Shaving, tweezing, and waxing can sometimes result in the growth of ingrown hairs, which can be frustrating and painful. However, laser hair removal leaves the skin smooth and clear.
Shaving Between Sessions Is Allowed
Laser hair removal can be done when the hair is very short, so there’s no need to wait for hair to grow between treatments. Clients are encouraged to shave before their laser hair removal session so that the laser energy can easily locate the follicles.
