Permanently Remove Unwanted Hair with Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal allows people to shed the unwanted hair on their bodies using a pulsating light that travels into the hair follicles preventing them from growing.  Laser hair removal is often performed on the legs, bikini area, upper lip, armpits and any other area of the body where unwanted hair grows.  Laser hair removal is effective by allowing the pulsating beams of light to travel down the hair follicles into the roots. As a result, the root of the hair follicle is damaged preventing future hair growth. The procedure is most effective when it is performed on lighter skin toned individuals with darker colored hair.

During the first laser hair removal treatment the hair will begin to fall out and many of these follicles will not re grow themselves. In order to guarantee that the follicles do not continue to grow follow up sessions are advised and often included within the initial price of the procedure. While most hair growth will be permanently removed with laser hair removal there are some hair follicles that can resist the heat of the lasers and continue to grow after the hair removal sessions have been completed. The new hair growth that has been able to withstand the treatments will be a lighter shade of color than the original hair growth as well as finer.

Laser Hair removal does have some typical side effects after the initial treatment which is why it is very important that you only allow a certified plastic surgeon to perform your procedure. The side effects include temporary skin pigment changes such as lighter or darker sections of the skin where the laser was applied. While this side effect is visually unappealing, it is not typically permanent and does go away. This is often the result of an incorrect laser being used during the procedure. Skin irritation is also a common side effect. This occurs on or around the affected skin and causes redness, itching, peeling, dryness, and scabbing. These side effects also depend on whether the physician used the correct laser while doing your treatment and are also not permanent.
