Laser Hair Removal Facts
Our state-of-the-art Laser Hair Removal devices permanently reduce hair with a series of treatments. With multiple wavelengths, we can efficiently treat all areas of the body, and tailor treatments for all skin types. The hair is reduced by wavelengths of energy that target the colour and depth of the hair follicle. The energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, destroying the “root”. Over several days, the hair follicles will fall out/shed from the body. An average of six to ten treatments are recommended for optimal results.
Laser Hair Removal Benfits
Laser hair removal has immense benefits when compared to conventional hair removal options such as waxing, plucking, and shaving. Even against light-based hair removal alternatives such as BBL™ and IPL, the laser hair removal procedure is more effective in removing excess or undesirable hair in virtually any part of the body for a near-permanent basis.
What makes laser hair removal a more viable option for getting rid of hair?
One important comparative advantage of laser hair removal is that it can be used to reduce hair on almost every part of the body such as the arm, underarm, leg, back, nose, upper lip, stomach, and even the genital areas. The areas around the eyes such as the eyelids and eyebrows are not advised for laser hair removal as the likelihood of eye injury exists. Laser hair advantage is considered safe and effective and has been approved by the FDA as a non-invasive medical treatment for getting rid of hair for a longer period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Using a specific laser hair removal device, wavelengths of energy target the color and depth of the hair follicle. The wavelength of energy is absorbed by the hair within the follicle and over several days the follicles are ejected from the body. An average of six to eight treatments are recommended for optimal results. Patients with darker hair respond best to laser hair removal as the laser wavelength targets the pigment of the hair by differentiating it from the skin via color. The treatment is relatively pain-free with almost no downtime.
Clients are required to shave the treatment area the day before or day of treatment.
At SKIN clinics we only use dedicated laser devices such as NDYaG and Diode lasers to perform hair removal as it is significantly more effective and safe in comparison to non-laser based devices such as BBL or IPL.
Laser hair removal can delay hair regrowth for up to years. Some people may require touch-up appointments.
If you add up the cost of razors and wax sessions over time, laser hair removal is worth it. Plus it is pain-free and keeps you away from the hassle of hair removal for long periods.
Depending on the size of the treated area, each session can take up to 60 minutes.
The results of treatment depend from person to person but usually, the results can be seen in about 1-3 weeks.
