Laser Hair Removal Information
Permanent hair removal is becoming
increasingly popular. We live busy lives and do not have the time to mess
with the inconvenience of shaving and waxing is just too painful. Laser
hair removal is the latest technology in hair removal. We will give you
some information to educate you on the procedures involved in laser hair
removal.
How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal involves a laser light. The
laser strikes the hair follicle where it is turned into heat. The heat
neutralizes the hair follicle so that it can no longer grow hair.
The treatment is completed in several phases. This is because hair grows
in different phases and the laser only works when the hair is actively
growing.
Does It Hurt?
The procedure is practically pain free. Some
people experience minor discomfort however and a numbing gel can be
applied to your skin in advance of treatment.
How Long Will It Take To Recover?
There is almost no recovery time needed. The
treated area might be red or even slightly swollen and you should avoid
sun exposure.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Side effects are very rare. It is possible
that you might experience a slight change in your skins pigment but this
is usually temporary. Ask your laser hair removal technician for details.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost depends greatly on what area you will
be working on. Large areas such as your back will take more time and thus
cost more. Expect prices to start at around a few hundred dollars per
session. You will probably require three to four sessions for complete
hair removal.
