What Is Laser Hair Removal?
• If you’ve been looking for an effective and efficient way to remove hair and don’t want to keep
waxing, shaving or tweezing, you may want to think about laser hair removal.
• Currently, laser hair removal is one of the most common beauty treatments in the United States.
During this process, beans of light that are highly concentrated are placed on the hair follicles to
draw the hair out. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light from the laser machine, which
destroys the hair.
• Are There Specific Benefits?
• There are a number of benefits to laser hair removal, and the treatment can be done on
various parts of the body, including the bikini line, arms, legs, underarm and face.
• One of the reasons that people choose laser hair removal is because the procedure is very
precise. The laser can target hairs that are difficult to remove without damaging the skin
around the hair.
• Laser hair removal is also pretty quick. The pulse of light in the laser takes less than a second
to affect the hair. This hair removal method also allows you to treat lots of hair at one time.
Each second, lasers can treat an area of hair about the size of a quarter. Smaller areas of the
body like the upper lip can be treated in less than 60 seconds; however, large areas like the legs
and back can take about an hour to treat.
• This method of hair removal is also predictable. Most people who get their hair removed with
lasers will be able to enjoy permanent hair removal after getting three to seven treatments.
