What is Laser Hair Removal?

In addition to being annoying to deal with, having excess hair on your body can sometimes be embarrassing. For individuals who have to shave, wax or tweeze unwanted hair on a regular basis, laser hair removal is a great option that can help them to get rid of unwanted hair for a long period of time.

Laser hair removal is a very common cosmetic procedure. In the United States, it is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures that is performed in clinics, spas and other locations. The reason why this procedure works is because the concentrated light of the laser is directed at the hair follicles, which destroys the hair. In some cases, the hair will never return, or it may take a long time for it to grow back again.

There are a wide variety of benefits that can come from using laser hair removal to get rid of unwanted hair on the body. First of all, it is precise. This means that our technicians can select a very small area to treat and then all of the surrounding skin will be left undamaged. If you have ever gone in to have your legs or other areas of your body waxed, you know how uncomfortable the procedure can be when the wax sticks to your skin. Laser hair removal is precise and only targets the area it is meant to treat.

It is also an extremely quick procedure. You can have your upper lip treated in 30 seconds or less. Think of all of the time that you have spent shaving your legs. Going in for a laser hair removal treatment in order to treat back hair or leg hair usually only takes less than 20 minutes for the entire process. You are going to save a lot of time, and you will love the results.

You can treat almost all areas on your body with laser hair removal. You can treat hair on your chin, upper lip, arms, armpits, legs, back, chest and bikini line. This means that you can save tons of time, but also save your skin from plenty of irritation. Everyone knows how uncomfortable dealing with ingrown hairs and razor bumps can be.

It is important to avoid plucking or waxing your hair for at least six weeks before you go in for your scheduled treatment. The reason why this is necessary is because we will use the laser to target the roots of the hair. When you pluck or wax the hair, you are temporarily removing them.
