What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a laser, or a concentrated beam of light, to get rid of hair in different areas of the body.

If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

During the procedure, the pigment in your hair will absorb a light beam from a laser. The light will be converted to heat and damage that hair follicle. Because of that damage, the hair will stop growing. 

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from different areas of the body. However, you can't get laser done on your eyelids or the surrounding areas or anywhere that has been tattooed.

Precision. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

Speed. Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour.

Predictability. Most patients have permanent hair loss after an average of 5 to 8 sessions.

How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is more than just ''zapping'' unwanted hair.  If you are planning to undergo laser hair removal, you should:

• Limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for 6 weeks before treatment. The laser targets the hairs' roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.

  Avoid sun exposure for 6 weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and may bring on complications after treatment.

  Shave or trim the day before your procedure.  

  If your hair is too long, the procedure will not work as effectively, and your hair and skin may get burned.
