Unwanted hair is an embarrassing and bothersome problem for men and women across the country. What’s worse is that getting rid of the unwanted hair can be expensive, inconvenient, and unpleasant. Furthermore, many hair removal methods only achieve temporary results. There hasn’t been a way to permanently remove unwanted hair – until now.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
At the Skin Care Center, we offer the laser hair removal procedure, which is a simple, effective, and long-term solution for hair removal. Laser hair removal works by emitting a gentle pulse of light directly into the hair follicle. The hair follicle absorbs the light energy and the follicle’s ability to re-grow hair is destroyed. The laser energy is selectively absorbed only by the hair follicle, so it doesn’t do any damage to surrounding areas.
During the laser hair removal procedure, several follicles are treated at once, so it can be used to treat many different areas of the body, including the back, shoulders, arms, legs, bikini lines, and face. Most laser hair removal treatments only take minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area, so people can resume their normal daily activities immediately.
Results
Usually, four to six treatments are needed to achieve optimal results, but this will vary depending on several factors, such as the hair density within the treatment area, the hair’s growth cycle, and the area you wish to have treated. During the time of treatment, only hair follicles in the growth cycle are affected. Because some hair follicles enter the growth cycle after treatment, multiple treatments will be necessary. After treatment, the majority of the hair will be gone for good.
