Laser Hair Removal: A Complete Guide
People are tired of the never-ending cycle of shaving, waxing and plucking to get rid of unwanted hair. This frustration is being shared by thousands of men and women who spend hours and dollars fighting against the rapid growth of unwanted hair. What if I told you that there was finally a way to escape this endless routine?
Laser hair removal has arrived, providing a revolutionary change in the way we can achieve smooth, hairless skin by (1) using laser technology to permanently reduce hair growth at the source, (2) giving you long-term results without continued effort, and (3) providing you with the confidence of knowing you will not have to spend time preparing for hair removal.
This guide will cover all aspects of laser hair removal, including how it works, what to expect and whether you would be an ideal candidate for this procedure, as well as whether or not laser hair removal is worth the money. So, let’s jump in and find out if laser hair removal is the key you have been searching for to achieve effortlessly smooth skin.

How does a laser hair removal procedure work?
When laser hair removal is performed, a laser produces a beam of focused light that is directed at the melanin (pigment) found in your hair. Once the light hits the hair follicle, it transforms into heat which destroys the follicle to prevent future growth or significantly reduce how much hair can grow in that area.
To be effective, the laser treatment needs to be directed at hair that is actively growing. That is why you need to have multiple treatments: this laser hair removal can take approximately 6-8 treatments (spaced out over several weeks) in order to get all of the hair follicles (in their various phases of growing) treated.
Most modern-day lasers are able to take into account your individual skin type and hair color and they can be adjusted accordingly to protect surrounding skin while targeting unwanted hair for a long period of time.

Areas That Can Be Treated
One of the most versatile types of hair removal is by using lasers. You can use lasers to remove unwanted hair from any area of your body.
Some of the most common areas where people have laser treatment for unwanted hair are on their face, including their upper lip, chin, and jawline for a smooth look; in their underarms, for a smooth feel every day; on their arms and legs for smooth skin that lasts a long time; in their bikini area or Brazilian area, for both smooth skin and no more shaving; and the back, chest, and stomach for larger body areas.
Many people are choosing to remove hair from their entire body with lasers, so they feel completely confident in their bodies. If an area has been treated with laser treatments before, you may want to return to that area for further treatments, and that’s where laser hair removal can be customized to meet the individual needs and preferences of every person.

Laser hair removal can provide you with multiple benefits beyond just removing unwanted body hair. The most important benefit of this type of hair removal is long-lasting hair reduction. After completing your laser hair removal treatment program, you will be able to enjoy months or years of smooth, hairless skin with very few maintenance requirements.
Because laser hair removal is done with light instead of a blade or wax, you will not need to worry about being cut, getting razor burn or having ingrown hairs which can lead to irritation or damage to your skin.
You will also spend less time on a daily basis shaving, as it will no longer be necessary to shave every few days, and no longer have to find time for regular waxing appointments. Laser hair removal is compatible with all skin tones and types and therefore is a solution available to everyone who has unwanted hair.
On top of all these benefits, you may see a gradual improvement in the quality of your skin with continued treatments because there will be less trauma to the skin due to the lack of repeated shaving and waxing.

What Is An Applicant?
People used to think only blonde people could have laser hair removal, but advances in lasers now allow all to have this type of procedure done. Traditionally, lighter-skinned people would experience greater success with laser hair removal because their lighter skin colour provided greater contrast with darker hairs, thus making it easier for the laser to locate and target the pigment in their hair (melanin).
However, due to advances in technology, most people are now able to safely and effectively undergo laser hair removal. Both females and males can benefit from laser hair removal when removing undesirable body hair.
Laser hair removal is often used to treat chronic ingrown hairs, which can occur when removing unwanted body hair using conventional methods (shaving, waxing, etc.), and is accomplished by destroying the hair follicle at its source (hair root), eliminating the curling back of the hair, and providing smoother skin.

Laser Hair Removal Costs
The cost of laser hair removal will greatly depend on many different things, but you can expect to pay anywhere between several hundred and several thousand dollars total throughout the entire process when taking into account your complete treatment plan.
What you pay is usually determined by which part of the body is being treated (for example: the upper lip and underarms will be less expensive than either the legs or back). The number of appointments (sessions) you will require also has a major impact on how much money you ultimately spend for your laser hair removal treatments because most people typically have from 6 to 8 sessions per area they want treated.
Your individual results will be affected (and therefore influence the number of sessions required) by factors such as density of hair, coarseness of hair, and the type of skin you have.
Although you may think the initial costs of laser hair removal treatments are more than what you would pay for just one waxing session or the total cost of razors in one year, they will likely be less expensive over time if you compare them to the ongoing costs over several years associated with purchasing razors, shaving cream, wax appointments and other similar products will equal or exceed your total expenditure for laser hair removal treatments.
Plus, since the equipment used by the technicians who perform the treatments on you is FDA cleared and operated by trained professionals, you can feel confident that you will achieve safe, effective, long-lasting results when you choose laser hair removal as your preferred method of hair removal.

How Many Sessions Should You Have of Laser Hair Removal and What Lose Results to Expect?
As laser removal is a gradual process and depends on the growth cycle of hair, it can take several sessions (usually six to eight treatments spaced four to six weeks apart) for you to see visible long-term hair loss in treated areas.
The reason for this is because hair grows in different cycles and the laser targets only the actively growing follicle for a particular session, thus, having multiple sessions will give you the maximum amount of active follicles (and hair) possible to be treated before the active growth cycle completes or has moved to a new active phase.
After your initial treatment plan is complete, the hair growth will visually decrease significantly, if not completely in your selected area(s). You may need one to two maintenance treatments each year for any new hair that was not previously treated or possibly from dormant follicles that you have been treated for at some point in time.
The before and after of laser removal is amazing because areas that used to be unshaven on a daily basis or that used to require a monthly wax will usually remain free of hair for months and the little hair that does return, will be finer, lighter, and much less noticeable than was the original hair.
