If you're sick of shaving, tweezing, or waxing to get rid of unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an ideal solution for you. This popular cosmetic procedure uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles, with minimal discomfort and downtime. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about laser hair removal, from how it works to what results you can expect.
How does it work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle with concentrated beams of light. The heat from the light destroys the follicle, which prevents future hair growth. Laser hair removal can be used on any area of the body where unwanted hair grow, including the face, chest, back, bikini line, arms, and legs.
Is it effective?
Yes! Laser hair removal is considered to be very effective. In most cases, it permanently removed unwanted hair. However, it is important to note that it requires multiple treatments. Additionally, some people may experience some regrowth after treatment, sometimes due to hormonal changes or medications that can new hair growth. Nevertheless, laser hair removal is much less time consuming than other methods of hair removal such as shaving, waxing, and plucking.
The varied number of treatment sessions required and occasional regrowth can also be thought of in terms of the nature of the treatment itself. Because the treatment targets individual hair follicles, rendering them unable to produce hair after being exposed to the heat, some can be missed. Imagine how many hair follicles are on the human body! Immeasurable. Still, the laser will reach far more than any razor.
Is it safe?
Yes! when performed by a trained professional using proper equipment, laser hair removal is safe for both men and women of all skin types. However, side effects may occur. These can include temporary redness and swelling of the treated area, and in very rare cases, some blistering to changes in skin coloration. Nevertheless, these side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days or weeks.
