Constantly shaving and waxing can not only be a hassle but sometimes also painful and inconvenient. These methods can irritate your skin and take a lot of time to do so. Laser hair removal is a great option and has gained popularity in recent years. This non-invasive solution may be the answer to all your hair removal worries. Here are the benefits of laser hair removal, and everything you need to know.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Before the treatment, the desired area you wish to remove hair from will be cleaned. Those who have sensitive skin can also have numbing cream applied to the area. During the procedure, everyone in the room must wear special protective eyewear.
When everything is ready, the skin is treated with a laser. Any hairs are vaporized and removed entirely at their root. Treatment length can vary from patient to patient as it depends on the size of the area of treatment.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Individuals with dark hair and light skin are typically the best candidates for this treatment. This color combination allows the laser to perfectly target the hair as the surrounding pigment doesn’t allow it to blend in. There are other laser options available for those with darker skin tones as well. Individuals with blonde or white hair are not good candidates for this treatment.
When Will I See the Results?
Results can typically be seen immediately after a treatment session. During the treatment session, hairs are vaporized instantly. While this is normally the case, results can vary from patient to patient depending on a few variables. The size of the treatment area, the thickness of the hair, the color of the hair, the type of laser used, and more can change the results.
