Laser Clinic for Hair Removal

If you are dealing with unwanted hair, whether on your body or face, you just want it gone! You have likely tried all of the home remedies you could think of, including shaving, plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams. And you're still looking because these time-consuming, and sometimes painful, treatments aren't treating the problem. Will laser removal be the answer you've been looking for?

Traditional hair removal methods are not ideal because they are not permanent: you never stop shaving your legs, you never stop waxing your upper lip. The hair grows back, and when it does grow back, it appears thicker and fuller (it is really unchanged in color and thickness, but the initial growing-out phase can make it feel and look darker and coarser). Laser hair removal is different because it can permanently reduce the amount of hair that grows back.

We all have millions of hair follicles, and lasers work to destroy these. But you cannot destroy them all, and some hair can grow back in treated areas. This is why most people undergo at least three treatments. According to the Mayo Clinic, lasers can remove from 40 to 80 percent of unwanted hair from a specific area. Not 100 percent, but certainly a very noticeable reduction. You will have to shave, wax, or pluck much less often, and when hair does grow, it will be much less noticeable.

Laser treatments are preferred by many people because you do not have to grow the hair before it can be treated. With waxing, for instance, you have to wait until the hair is an optimal length - which can be a bit embarrassing if you're going to the beach a few days before your waxing appointment. It is also quick: your upper lip, for instance, can be treated in one minute. There is no faster method than laser removal.

Lasers are also very safe; they have been approved by the FDA for hair removal purposes. There are side effects to any hair removal method, from simple nicks while shaving to chemical burns while applying depilatory creams. Irritation can occur with laser treatment, but beyond this, very few people report adverse reactions.
