Laser hair removal is a go-to cosmetic treatment for many people who want to get rid of unwanted hair. It uses laser technology to target the hair's melanin and zap it with heat, which eventually stops hair from growing back. Technology has advanced so much in recent years that it's now a safe and effective option for permanent hair reduction.
One of the best things about laser hair removal is how precise it is. The laser can specifically target hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. That means you get effective hair removal with a reduced risk of side effects. And, unlike other hair removal methods, laser hair removal is non-invasive and doesn't involve any cuts or stitches. So it's a great choice if you want a more comfortable and convenient option.
Laser hair removal is also super fast and efficient. It can cover large areas of skin in just a few minutes. Which is perfect if you want to remove hair from bigger body parts like your legs, arms, or back. Plus, it usually requires fewer sessions than other hair removal methods, so it's a time-saving option for busy people.
Here are some of the laser hair removal questions we are normally asked.
Costs can vary depending on the area and size of the body being treated and can range from $60 – $400. Typically 3-8 sessions are needed.
Generally, the results will last for at least 2 years, and will remain permanent with yearly touch-ups.
With technology today you'll find the process is virtually painless. At most the sensation is like little pinches, or the snap of a rubber band. It hurts far less than waxing, especially in the more sensitve areas.
You will begin to see the hair shed in a few days after your first session. With each treatment session, you will continue to see further reduction in hair growth.
It depends on the area, for smaller areas like upper lip sessions can be as short as 3-7 minutes. For larger areas like the legs or back it can take up to an hour.
