Laser hair removal is one of the recent advancement in the cosmetic medicine
field. This is a technology that continues to be developed. For example, at this
point in time laser hair removal technology allows removing black and brown
hair. It is still very hard and many times impossible to use the laser hair
removal technology on white and red hair, but as technology develops, more and
more possibilities are opening. There are many clinics that offer laser hair
removal services and many doctors that can tell you what the laser hair removal
procedure can do specifically for you (based on your type of hair and skin).
In general, the laser hair removal is a medical procedure that allows men and
women to eliminate or reduce the hair coverage on many areas of their body.
Though the laser hair removal is a method that allows for permanent hair
removal, this is not done right away. You will have to attend several laser hair
removal therapy sessions (usually five to ten sessions) during a certain period
of time (usually eight to fifteen months). Only going through the full laser
hair removal treatment will result in long-term results. The actual number of
treatments and the overall laser hair removal treatment period will depend on
the type of your skin, hair and the type of laser used for the procedure.
In general, the laser hair removal is the process that is used to destroy the
hair follicles without causing any damage to the skin. You will be advised to
stop waxing the skin area where you would like to have the hair removed for the
period of approximately two months before the laser hair removal treatment. The
reason for several sessions is the fact that not all hair follicles are
destroyed. The new hair that grows after one session is removed during the next
laser hair removal session. This process goes on until almost all hair follicles
are destroyed.
