There are literally thousands of people that use laser hair removal every year to get rid of unwanted hair. Usually people are using the technique to rid themselves of either unwanted body or facial hair. The laser procedure uses state of the art technology to damage the hair follicle, ruining its ability to produce hair.
There are quite a few who claim that laser hair removal is the ultimate way to rid the body of unwanted hair. Is that the truth? Is laser hair removal really permanent? Do the advertisements we see every day portray accurately this procedure?
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The laser hair removal process focuses directly on the delivery of high energy light into the skin. This process is performed by a professional using a hand-held instrument. The laser is quite intense, and because of this property the hair follicle is damaged by it. This will usually either slow or eliminate the follicle’s ability to produce hair. Since the skin is much tougher than the hair follicle, the procedure does not do any damage to the skin.
Who Can Be Treated With Laser Hair Removal?
Individuals with a darker hair color are usually more responsive to laser hair removal. Additionally, people with a lighter skin color also do better with the procedure. That said, during the last few years the procedure has been improved so that it works better than it used to on individuals with darker skin.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
In most cases, the devices used to perform this procedure have been deemed safe by the FDA. That means if you run into trouble because of the safety of one of these devices, go ahead and sue the FDA. 
Make sure that you use a licensed doctor.
Usually the process stings a little, but doesn’t do permanent damage to the skin or surrounding areas.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Usually after a series of treatments are performed, yes, it is permanent. This usually takes like 10 treatments so you will have to be pretty patient.
What is laser hair removal treatment?
Well, laser hair removal treatment is a process that involves burning the hair follicle with a laser to halt its ability to produce hair. The entire process doesn’t really take that much time, but usually multiple treatments will be required in order to be 100% effective.
When a skilled technician performs laser hair removal treatment, he will take extreme caution. He will have to leave the laser on each hair just long enough to produce enough heat to make the hair stop growing, while not leaving in there too long. If a technician left the laser on the hair for too long, it can damage the underlying skin. This would cause problems with the skin’s pigmentation and growth process.
Since the process is quite tricky, experience will make a huge difference in a doctor/technician’s ability to remove unwanted hair properly without doing unnecessary damage. Hopefully you can see why it would be extremely unwise to go to a technician that had little experience.
Normally when hair removal treatment is performed with a laser, three to five treatments will be required to get it right. The exact amount will depend heavily on the thickness and color of the patient’s hair. There will be times when some maintenance will be required, and this will of course vary wildly from person to person.
Facial hair removal is very much like other types of laser hair removal, except obviously much care needs to be taken to ensure that no mistakes are made. A mistake during the facial hair removal process could be very costly because any subsequent scarring would be quite visible.
Now there are of course a lot of different options available for facial hair removal. There are creams that will remove facial hair temporarily, and there are also options for permanently removing facial hair. Creams like VANIQA that are supposed to slow down the growth process, making it possible to shave less frequently, and there are also laser hair removal procedures that can work for some people.
Laser facial hair removal is another option that is quite permanent once enough treatments have been performed. Laser hair removal is more effective than electrolysis and is also less costly so if you are wanting to go the permanent route we would highly recommend using the laser.
