How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The laser’s light energy targets the pigment found in the hair follicle. It causes damage to the hair follicle while removing the hair. This damage to the follicle slows hair growth and makes the hairs that grow back easier to remove.
Because the laser targets specific pigment, laser hair removal does not damage the surrounding skin. With proper skin care and sunscreen, laser hair removal can enhance skin texture and reduce the risk of ingrown hair and painful cysts.
Where Can I Use Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal treatments can be used to remove hair from many areas, such as:
- Face
- Underarms
- Arms
- Chest
- Back
- Bikini line
- Legs
- upper lip
- chin
- buttocks
- Or wherever you have unwanted hair
What are the Benefits?
No Nicks or Cuts
It’s easy to nick or cut yourself while shaving, but it’s impossible to nick or cut yourself during a treatment.
Fewer Ingrown Hairs
Compared to shaving and waxing, laser hair removal results in fewer ingrown hairs. Hair follicles are targeted at the root, so there is less risk of ingrown hairs.
Quick Treatment Sessions
Shaving every day or every other day takes the average person months of their life. Save time and money by ditching your razor!
Individual treatment sessions typically take about 10 minutes to complete at Elite Body & Laser. The results last longer and don’t need daily upkeep.
What are the Risks?
There are some possible side effects, such as:
- Hyperpigmentation (change in skin color)
- Blisters
- Burns
- Scars
How Long Does Treatment Take?
The number of treatments required to remove hair will vary depending on skin tone, hair density and thickness, and hormone levels. Most patients see results with 4 to 8 treatment sessions.
Scheduling out treatment sessions helps ensure we properly target the hair during key parts of the hair growth cycle.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
You can expect to see a 70-80% reduction in hair after your recommended treatment. The hair targeted by the laser is permanently removed, however, more may grow depending on hormones and individual factors.
