laser hair removal is a procedure that uses
highly concentrated laser light to remove unwanted hair from the face underarms forearms
legs and bikini line and nearly any other area of the body except the area surrounding the eye
prior to the procedure the hair to be treated will be trimmed the skin will be sterilized and
a numbing gel may be applied pulses of light are directed at hair follicles in the treatment
area and the pigment or coloring in the follicles absorbs the light destroying t
he hair the length
of the laser hair removal procedure depends on the size and location of the treatment area
but treatment times typically last from a few minutes to 1 hour following the procedure your
skin may be red or irritated for a short time a topical cream may be used to protect your skin
as it heals it is important to use sunscreen for few weeks following the procedure you should not
use any products that may irritate your skin and you should avoid plucking or waxing the treatment
area because the laser light is directed toward hair pigment this procedure is most effective
for people with dark hair and light skin however advances in Laser Technology have made laser
hair removal an option for most people as not all hairs are actively growing at the same
time a single procedure will not treat all of the hair folc Les in the area you may notice
some hair growth in the region as follicles that were not actively growing during your procedure
return to the growth phase th
is is why multiple treatments are usually required to treat a single
area completely although the number of treatments varies by individual most individuals receive
approximately 6 to8 treatments spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart it is important to realize that
laser hair removal likely will not prevent hair from growing completely but this procedure
can reduce hair growth significantly over time
