Laser hair removal has increasingly shown itself to be a very popular cosmetic procedure. It is non-invasive, convenient, and fair less painful than some of the more traditional ways of permanently removing unwanted hair. Laser Hair removal is used to take away hair from those areas where it is simply unattractive to have. This can include chin, bikini area, armpits, back hair, or other areas, as well. The time of sticky, painful chemical applications is long gone. This procedure can be used for both facial and body hair.
The cosmetic process can take anywhere from only a few minutes to several hours. The time range varies based on the area of the body involved and the amount of removal. Laser hair removal is done by using a low-energy laser over the afflicted area. The laser energy passes through the patient’s skin, and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle (roots). A certain percentage of the follicles are instantaneously, not to mention permanently, disabled with each treatment. In most cases, no anesthesia will be required, or even needed.
