Guide To Popular Hair Removal Techniques

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is designed to produce long-lasting hair removal. It may be permanent for many patients. This hair removal technique uses lasers to damage hair at the roots, causing it to fall out. While some laser hair removal devices are sold for home use, experts recommend that patients have this technique performed by a licensed professional. This is to minimize the risk of side effects. Laser hair removal technicians will evaluate each patient's hair removal goals and recommend a treatment timeline. Most patients will need to have six to twelve laser sessions to notice results. After these sessions are completed, some individuals might need to attend follow-up laser sessions once or twice a year to maintain the results. 

Generally, lasers are less effective on blonde or gray hair, so patients should check with a professional to verify that they are suitable for laser treatment. If lasers are used incorrectly, patients could experience burning on the skin. Some individuals have developed scars. These side effects are quite rare. However, patients are still advised to choose a laser hair removal center with a physician on staff. Redness and swelling at the treated site are relatively common. These effects usually resolve on their own after the laser session is finished.
