Laser Hair Removal Guide
Here is a basic laser hair removal guide. A lot of people are talking about the laser but will it work for you and what are the results like?
Do You Qualify?
The first thing to ask is if you are suitable for laser hair removal treatment.
Unfortunately, because of the way that it works it is only available to people with dark hair and a light complexion.
It cannot be used by people with blonde, red or grey hair. Also, if your skin color is very similar to your hair color (equally dark) then I would not recommend this treatment. In the next section, you will see why.
How It Works
This treatment works by destroying the hair follicle. Like in electrolysis, if the hair follicle is destroyed then you will cease to grow hairs.
The follicle is destroyed by the heat and light of the laser which is attracted to dark pigmentation. This is why you can only use it if you have dark hair. It is also why you shouldn’t use it if you have dark skin or your skin will burn!
The Treatment Process
The laser itself is housed in a handheld device which the technician slowly passes over the desired area. With each treatment about 30% of the follicles are destroyed, therefore you must come back for repeat treatments.
How many you need depends on the color of your hair and your skin and how easily you tan. But typically you might need between 4 and 8 sessions.
Also, you need to wait about 3 weeks between sessions to allow the treated hair to shed and for the skin to recover.
The Results
After several sessions, the effects of this treatment are permanent. You will also find that, before the course of treatment is completed, that the regrowing hairs are lighter and finer.
Precautions
Do not get yourself a sun tan between sessions as your skin will be very sensitive and prone to burning.
