What is Body Laser Hair Removal?
If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering. Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the hair.
How It Works
Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas. Benefits include precision (lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged), speed (each pulse of the laser treats many hairs at the same time), and predictability (most patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven sessions).
Benefits & Results
For a day or two afterward, the treated area of your skin will look and feel like it's sunburned. Cool compresses and moisturizers will help. Over the next month, your treated hair will fall out. Wear sunscreen for the following month to help prevent temporary changes in the color of the treated skin.
