Description of Laser Hair Removal:
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a procedure to remove unwanted hair on the face, legs, bikini line, back and underarms. Laser hair removal uses beams of concentrated light which target hairs and leave the area of surrounding skin undamaged.
How to prepare for laser hair removal?
You should refrain from waxing and plucking the hairs you are having removed for six weeks before laser hair removal, and avoid sun exposure.
How is Laser Hair Removal carried out?
The technician trims the hair.
A cooling gel is placed on the area to be treated.
The technician uses pulses of light from a laser on the treatment area.
The light is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicles.
The pigment is destroyed and the hair is prevented from growing back.
How long will Laser Hair Removal last?
Laser hair removal is sometimes permanent but often the procedure only reduces the amount of hair within the treatment area or lightens the color of the hair.
