Men and women have experimented with a variety of hair removal methods using technology for the last 100 years. In addition to the regular razor we have seen items such as epilators and techniques such as electrolysis used to remove hair from different areas of the body. It wasn’t until recently that laser hair removal was introduced to the public in the United States.
Laser hair removal, also known as intense pulsed light epilator removal, was tested and experimented with for over 20 years before it became widely available to the public. It is now available in medical spas and dermatologist facilities.
The procedure is quite simple. An individual must have a hair type that is adequate for laser hair removal. They will have several sessions to remove the hair with the proper interval between each session. After all sessions are complete an individual should expect 90% or more of their hair in the effected area to be permanently removed.
There are a few common side effects to the treatment. These include irritated, itchy skin and swelling. The side effects usually only last for a couple of hours to a couple of days. A medical laser removal professional can also recommend ways to prepare skin that can reduce skin irritation issues.
