Would you like to escape the frequency, tedium, pain and expense of constant hair removal? Imagine a fast, efficient beam of light that can eliminate unwanted hair from your body and keep it from returning for up to 17 weeks. It's not science fiction; it's laser hair removal, and it's fast becoming one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for people who suffer from unattractive and/or excessive hair growth.





Unlike tweezing, waxing, shaving, and depilatory creams, which typically last no longer than seven days, laser hair removal provides results that last between seven to 17 weeks, depending on the location of the hair. Laser treatment can eliminate hair from areas of the body, including the bikini line, upper lip, face and neck, with upper-body results usually lasting about seven to 11 weeks, and mid-body and leg treatments lasting approximately 10 to 17 weeks.



Laser Hair Removal is not permanent but can significantly reduce hair growth and some maintenance may be necessary. Treatments are typically done every 4-6 weeks and the average number of treatments to achieve maximum hair reduction is anywhere from 4 -7 treatments depending on the amount of hair to be treated and area of the body.





In between treatments, there will be some hair regrowth. Hair grows in cycles so while in between treatments patients can shave, but it is important that hairs are not tweezed or waxed, so they can be treated properly at the upcoming session to ensure maximum results.





In between treatments patients should also try and keep out of the sun, as light skinned patients typically achieve the best results. The laser center or practitioner should give you a list of Dos and Don’ts so you can get the most out each of your laser hair removal treatments.
