Laser hair removal is a relatively-painless hair removal technique that ensures long-lasting results. In many cases, these results are permanent. It works by targeting areas of the skin that contain melanin.
The hair is hit with a concentrated beam of light. The follicle is damaged enough to retard future growth when the light is absorbed by the pigment. With lasers, hair can be removed for several months or years - depending on the person the results will vary.
The laser is absorbed easily by dark matter, and reflects off light surfaces, so at the moment it is most effective on those with dark hair and light skin. If you are very fair, and the hair you wish you have removed is very light in colour, this may be a problem. it might not produce such good results.
Laser treatment simply doesn't work on some people, in spite of it being effective and painless in most cases - regrowth occurs at some point in the future or hair growth is not discouraged. On others, it may not be removed altogether, although hair growth is dramatically reduced, and the regrowing hair is thinner and less visible.
However, laser hair removal is largely permanent and very effective for the majority, so consider this when deciding which areas to treat.
The cost of laser hair removal is comparable to the cost of a woman's haircut and colour for a session for a small area like the bikini line, with between 6-8 sessions needed on an area to achieve the best results. Do make sure though, that you don't end up with a less reputable practitioner for the sake of saving money. It's worth doing your research to make sure that you are in safe hands, rather than paying less but being treated by someone who isn't sure what they are doing; the safety of your skin and the effectiveness of the treatment is determined by the skill of the practitioner you use.
Unwanted facial hair, hair in the armpits and bikini line, legs, and forearms are most commonly treated with laser hair removal. Often the preferred method of hair removal now, it's safe, effective, and more permanent than any other method such as waxing, plucking, shaving, and electrolysis.
A certain percentage of hairs are in the "resting" phase at any given time, rather than a growth phase. The laser will not be effective on those resting hairs, which is why, on average, five treatments are necessary in each area to achieve maximum results.
When new hair growth appears, it is possible to do additional treatments. Due to the variation in the number of hairs in the resting phase, certain parts of the body will respond more rapidly whereas others might take much longer to show effects. The face, for example, usually responds slower than a bikini line.
