Information about laser hair removal and frequently asked questions about it
Why is laser considered the optimal treatment option for hair removal?
Laser devices permanently remove hair follicles, giving you long-lasting results. In some cases, you may notice the regrowth of a few hair follicles, but they are usually scattered and very light, making them difficult to notice.
Traditional hair removal methods such as waxing, shaving, and depilatory creams for the face only provide temporary results, some lasting less than 24 hours or even just a few hours or days before the hair regrows. These traditional methods can also be painful and time-consuming.
How does the laser remove hair?
Laser rays are emitted at a specific wavelength so that the hair follicles absorb them, leading to damage and causing the hair follicles to die and begin to fall out of their roots within several sessions.
Which body areas can be treated with laser hair removal?
Laser devices can remove hair from any area of the body, such as the arms, legs, face, and others.
Could some cases be better candidates for laser hair removal than others?
Laser hair removal works best on individuals with fair skin and dark hair (brown or black). The darker the hair follicles, the easier it is for the laser beams to target and focus on them.
How long does a laser hair removal session take?
Sessions for the legs and back typically take one to one and a half hours, while the front of the neck or underarms can take 20 minutes.
How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?
Most cases require six to eight sessions to achieve the desired results. Results appear after about three sessions, during which you may notice hair shedding, thinning, and hair growth at a lower density than usual.
