Tired of shaving, waxing and/or plucking every few days or every time you have to go out? Laser hair removal is an effective long term solution.
Since 1997, the FDA has approved hair removal lasers and clinics have provided millions of women with a permanent way to deal with unwanted body hair on arms, legs, armpits, shoulders, back and wherever else they might need.
Although this procedure has been around for more than a decade, today's lasers (like the gold standard Soprano XL diode laser) are much more powerful, successful and satisfying.
In addition, modern lasers offer relatively painless procedures and treatment no longer restricted by the colour of skin or hair. (In the past these types of lasers were not recommended or considered ineffective for dark skinned or light haired women.)
How does laser hair removal work?
The treatment area is shaved to prevent the risk of burning and to ensure greater efficiency in targeting hair follicles.
A cooling gel is applied to protect your skin and provide a shield against the strong light. The technician and the patient also wear sunglasses.
The laser moves over your arm, leg or other treatment area using pulses of infrared diode laser energy to gradually heat the hair follicles in sub dermal layer of the skin. This disables several follicles at a time to eliminate hair re-growth.
The duration of each session depends on the area being treated. Laser hair removal can treat smaller areas on the face in only a few minutes, underarms or basic bikini line in approximately fifteen minutes, while the back or legs require more time.
Once the laser hair removal session is complete, the area exposed to the laser is cleansed and you are can return to your normal routine.
For the procedure to be completely successful you might be required to have 6 to 8 sessions every 6 to 8 weeks.
However, you should be aware of a few precautions you should take. Even though laser hair removal is considered a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure and modern equipment lowers your risk of burns and scaring, you should ensure you also do the following:
Check the credentials of the doctor, beautician or technician performing the treatment.
Make sure they have sufficient experience and ask for references if necessary.
Also ensure they are using an approved hair removal laser.
