Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is considered a permanent solution for unwanted hair by many patients and plastic surgeons. Some choose to call it “semi-permanent” because the technology has not been in use as long as a lifetime. In any case, this treatment will remove unwanted body hair for a much longer period of time than any of the conventional methods practiced by medical spas and aestheticians.

How to know if laser hair removal is right for you

If you have unwanted body hair on your legs, back, bikini line or face, you may be a good candidate for laser hair removal. If you are tired of conventional body hair removal methods like shaving or waxing, than laser hair removal may be ideal.

How laser hair removal works

Laser energy is applied to the skin and the pigment within the hair follicles. The energy deactivates the active hair follicle and stops its growth. Because hair follicles may be active at different times, multiple laser hair removal treatments may be necessary to get a satisfactory result. Most patients say laser hair removal feels similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin; it stings but your body adjusts to it quickly.
