Why Try Laser Hair Removal?

Why would someone decide that they want to try laser hair removal? Usually people who make this choice have more hair than they want especially if the hair is dark which makes it is easy to see. They become tired of having to shave so often, go through the hassle of waxing, use hair removal creams or use tweezers to pluck the hairs.

They want to try something more permanent and hopefully less painful. One of the most popular alternatives is laser hair removal which has only been available for the last twenty years. It has only been available to the public since the mid 1990s.

Laser hair removal is done with a very powerful beam of light. There are several different methods that use either lasers or other systems that use light. For example a xenon flash lamp sends out a very strong, pulsed light which is used to remove unwanted hair. So some methods referred to as laser hair removal, might be sister systems instead that do the same thing with a slightly different energy or light source.

Some hair removal methods are not necessarily a permanent solution to hair growth. They may last only a few months or as long as a few years. How long it lasts is not dependent on the place the hair is removed. The common places for hair reduction are underarms, legs, bikini line, or face.

How do you know if you are a good prospect for laser hair removal? It seems to have its best success with people who have black or brown hair along with lighter skin. That does not mean that laser hair removal is not done on people with darker skin, it can, and often is; as long as your laser hair removal specialist has decided that you are a good candidate for treatment.

There are a few things that need to be done before beginning your laser hair removal treatments. A couple of days before your laser hair removal treatment your health care provider will want you to shave the area you want done.

The laser hair removal system we use in Vancouver damages the hair follicle under the skin, which is why there is no new hair growth. Depending on the size of the area you want done if may require a couple of hours of laser hair removal and it also may need repeated treatments to obtain the results you want.
