Laser hair removal is a relatively-painless hair removal technique that ensures long-lasting results. These results are permanent in many cases. It works by targeting areas of the skin that contain melanin.
The hair is hit with a concentrated beam of light. The light is absorbed by the pigment, which damages the follicle enough to retard future growth. The results differ widely from person to person, but lasers can remove hair for anywhere from several months to years.
Currently, it is most effective on those with light skin and dark hair, because dark matter absorb's the laser better while light surfaces reflect it more. This may be a problem if you are very fair, and the hair you wish you have removed is very light in colour; it might not be as effective.
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, although hair growth is dramatically reduced, and the regrowing hair is thinner and less visible, it may not be removed altogether.
However, laser hair removal is extremely effective for most people, and largely permanent, so when you are deciding areas to be treated, this should be considered.
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. Don't go with a less reputable practitioner just to save money though. The safety of your skin and the effectiveness of the treatment is determined by the skill of the practitioner you use, and 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.
Unwanted facial hair, hair in the armpits and bikini line, legs, and forearms are most commonly treated with laser hair removal. Currently, it is frequently the preferred method of hair removal because it is more safe, permanent and effective than other methods like waxing, plucking, shaving, and electrolysis.
At any given time, a certain percentage of hairs are in the "resting" phase, rather than a growth phase. Because the laser is not so effective on the resting hairs, an average of five treatments are needed on each area for the best results.
As soon as further hair growth appears, more treatments can be done. The number of hairs in the resting phase varies, so certain parts of the body respond faster while others might can take more time to see results. For instance, the bikini line usually responds faster than the face.
