4 Questions to Ask Your Laser Hair Removal Specialist 

Laser is probably the best hair removal method available. It’s way more effective than razor shaving because laser actually disrupts and destroys hair follicles. Laser do this by using simple, harmless light and heat. Because the treatment is practically harmless to the skin, it’s very safe for a patient, with virtually no side effects other than minor redness and soreness, and the treatment can be done anywhere on the body, including the bikini line and the face. This means areas like the lip and cheeks and elsewhere can be treated. Also, there’s not really any downtime with the treatment, so patients can return to their regular activities right away afterwards.

Some people use natural methods for hair removal, like sugar wax, papaya paste, turmeric, or an egg mask, but these methods may not work nearly as well as laser hair removal. If you want the best possible results, go laser. Laser hair removal is so effective that it can actually offer permanent results. Keep reading to learn how.

With laser treatment, hair follicles are disrupted and destroyed, which can restrict or prevent hair from coming back. If a hair follicle is disrupted, at the very least, hair won’t grow as much from it, and the hair that does grow will be finer and easier to treat in the future. If a hair follicle is destroyed, it’s done for! Hair won’t regrow from that follicle any longer. This is when the results of laser hair removal become permanent. It takes multiple treatments to get to this point, but it’s definitely reachable.

It takes several treatments to get the best results from laser hair removal. Multiple treatments can destroy more hair follicles and provide permanent results. This means you may only have to get the occasional maintenance treatment after your primary treatments, or maybe hair won’t regrow from the area at all, so you won’t need anymore treatments! Generally, it takes between 4 and 6 treatment sessions to get ideal results. This can vary depending on the patient, the specialist performing the treatment, and the technology used in the treatment.
