Tired of shaving, waxing, and tweezing? Well, that unwanted hair is about to be put on full display with the onset of swimsuit season.
If you want silky-smooth skin, but you’re tired of all the time, cost, and bother of at-home hair removal (which doesn’t work that well anyway) maybe it’s time to consider laser hair removal.
What Is It?
Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures. Although most people have heard of laser hair removal, at least in passing, there are plenty of misconceptions about it, so let us clarify. Laser hair removal is a treatment wherein concentrated beams of light are focused into the root of a hair follicle, destroying it and preventing regrowth.
Important Things to Know
Before you jump into laser hair treatment, there are some important things for you to know. First of all, depending on the area where you’re receiving treatment, your session may be anywhere between 20 minutes to over an hour.
Secondly, it usually takes more than one session in order to achieve permanent removal of hair follicles and prevent more growth. Some people see perfect results after just two or three sessions. Other people will need more.
Properly executed, you’ll get maximum hair reduction from laser hair removal, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll have no hairs whatsoever in the area. The precision of a laser allows us to target the darkest and coarsest hairs, but it’s very possible that you’ll have light, fine hairs remaining in the area.
Laser hair removal doesn’t work on tanned or sunburned skin. It’s recommended that you stay out of the sun for a couple months before your treatment. That’s why later in the winter months is the most common time to receive laser hair removal.
Trust a Certified Professional for Laser Hair Removal
It’s important to know that the devices used for laser hair removal are not a simple point-and-shoot operation. When used properly, they can be highly effective in removing unwanted hair. However, in the wrong hands laser hair removal can cause scars and pigmentation in the skin, or it can simply not do its job at all.
