Tired of Shaving and Waxing? Try Laser Hair Removal
Many of us spend untold hours removing unwanted hair. Not only does this waste our time, but it also wastes our money because we have to constantly buy razors, shaving cream, or wax. Laser hair removal can be a long-lasting solution to this problem. This procedure is very common in the United States because it is quick, easy, and effective.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Lasers are used in this straightforward process in order to damage the follicle. The melanin (pigment) in the hair will absorb the laser beam and convert it into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle to the point that it is hard for it to grow. Although the hair does not fall out immediately when you have this procedure done, you will notice it begin to shed in the following days and weeks.
Multiple sessions of laser hair removal are almost always needed. Once your series of treatments have been completed, you should notice a significant reduction in future hair growth. In order to maintain results, many people find it beneficial to have a follow-up session every 6-12 months. When hair does grow back, it is often finer and lighter than it was prior to having laser hair removal done.
Where Can Laser Hair Removal Be Done?
People choose to have this treatment done in a variety of areas that they are sick of shaving or waxing. You can choose to have laser treatment done on your:
- Legs
- Arms
- Armpits
- Upper lip
- Bikini line
- Chest
- Back
This treatment is so safe and effective that you can have it done practically anywhere. The eyelids are the only exception to this.
The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
So why is laser hair removal so popular? There are many reasons, including:
- The success rate is very high
