Hair Removal by Laser is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted hair anywhere.  The stable reduction in the re growth of the hair after the treatment for removal of hair done is termed as permanent hair reduction. This permanent reduction can be done by laser. When the lasers were used in the past for hair removal they were not quite effective. But with new technology different kinds of effective, fast and safe lasers have come in the market. The laser removal treatment reduces the number of hair permanently but it may not remove the hair permanently. This laser treatment is virtually painless.

Procedure of hair removal: During the laser hair removal treatment, the laser emits a light which passes through the outer layers of skin and is absorbed by the pigments in the follicles of hair. The light emitted by the laser damages the functions of the follicles to re-grow hair. In case of area where there is lot of hair, the absorbed laser is converted into heat vaporizes the pigment but not the skin around it. The number of sessions that should be undergone for Hair Removal by Laser depends upon the overall re-growth of hair. For most of the people it’s very effective as only 4-6 sessions are required by them for the hair removal.

It is highest for the thighs, back and legs. While the charges for chin and upper lip are the least.

Laser Hair Removal is not only quick and convenient, it’s also the most effective form of eliminating embarrassing and unwanted hair growth permanently. Our highly qualified laser professionals are committed to ensuring a complete understanding of the Laser Hair Removal process.  Our goal is for each of our clients to have a positive experience each and every time they walk through our doors.

Laser Hair Removal treatments are individualized based on two main factors: skin tone and hair color.  Patients with skin tones ranging from light to dark can undergo safe and effective lazer treatments; however, those with lighter hair colors may not be candidates for the procedure.  The lazer is attracted to the pigment in your hair, therefore the darker your hair, the better results you’ll experience.  Those individuals with white, gray, red and blonde hair will not see effective hair removal results because there is not enough pigment (color) in their hair follicles; this means the lazer will not target and destroy the hair because it can’t ‘see’ them.  While patients with light hair may need to explore other hair removal options, patients with brown and black hair will see successful Lazer Hair Removal results.  Visit any of our clinics for a consultation today and determine if Lazer Hair Removal is right for you.

Laser Hair Removal—this innovative procedure has been available to consumers for over ten years—we’ve all heard about it, we all know a little bit about it, but with laser technology continually changing and updating, before ever committing to treatment, it is important to have all the facts. The biggest fact that individual should be aware of is that even though laser treatments are the most revolutionary method available for removing unwanted facial and body hair with lasting results, not everyone is an ideal candidate. Knowing whether or not the procedure will work for you will help you to make a better decision on which hair removal method to use.

When laser hair removal was first introduced to consumers, only small portion of individuals were able to undergo treatments. Since its inception, laser treatments have utilized pigment seeking light in order to effectively target and remove unwanted hair. The problem in the beginning was that both hair and skin contains pigment. Rudimentary lasers did not have the capability of distinguishing between hair color and skin color, therefore only those men and women with very light skin and very dark hair could undergo treatments and see successful results.

In the years since, laser technology has progressed at a rapid rate. Lasers have been developed that utilize different wavelengths of laser light—those different wavelengths are specifically designed to penetrate skin at different depths. Shorter wavelength lasers like the Alexandrite Laser and Diode Laser were designed to treat men and women with fair to medium skin tones, and longer wavelength lasers such as the Nd: YAG Laser were designed to treat patients with medium to dark skin tones. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Lasers are also utilized for hair removal, but since the pulsed light technology penetrates at multiple depths beneath the skin, the energy is safe for patients with all skin tones. So now, with the many different laser technologies available, men and women with skin tones ranging from light to dark can undergo safe, effective laser hair removal treatments that produce long lasting hair reduction results.

Now at this point you may be thinking…if all skin tones can be treated, then that means everyone can undergo laser hair removal, right? Unfortunately the answer to that question is still no. Ideal candidates for laser hair removal can have any skin tone, but they need to have dark hair—that means hair that contains some sort of pigment. Those interested individuals who have blonde, gray, white or red hair cannot undergo laser treatments because these hair colors do not contain enough pigment to be ‘seen’ by the laser. So no matter your skin type, if you do not have hair that contains at least some pigment, you will not be able to see successful results.

Want to know why? The treatment works like this: The laser is passed over the treatment area and as the light energy is pulsed it penetrates through the outer layers of skin and is attracted to the pigment in the follicles below. The laser energy is then absorbed by the hair follicle and transforms into heat; that heat is what effectively disables the follicle and inhibits re-growth. If hair follicles do not contain enough pigment, the laser energy won’t be absorbed which means the hair follicle won’t be destroyed. So before committing to treatment, be sure to visit a reputable center and have a laser technician determine whether or not you are an ideal candidate for Laser Hair Removal. Knowing whether or not this innovative treatment will work for you will help you to decide the best way to remove your unwanted hair.
