This site will shed some light (no pun intended) on what
the procedure involves, who will benefit the most from
treatment, list the most common side effects and
possible complications, provide resources as to
inquiring about cost, and discuss when you can expect to
see positive results. Plucking, shaving, creams, and hot
waxing are only temporary fixes for unwanted hair. For
longer-lasting results, laser hair removal is required.
This procedure can be performed on most parts of the
body where hair appears
Hair removal by laser was performed experimentally for
about 20 years before it became commercially available
in the mid 1990s.The use of laser hair removal is now
generally accepted in the dermatology community, and is
widely practiced. Both men and women seek laser hair
removal services to have superfluous or unwanted hair
removed. Hair removal is commonly done on lip, chin, ear
lobe, shoulders, back, underarm, abdomen, buttocks,
pubic area, bikini lines, thighs, face, neck, chest,
arms, legs, hands, and toes. Laser works best with dark
coarse hair. Light skin and dark hair are an ideal
combination, but new lasers are now able to target dark
black hair even in patients with dark skin.
Hair removal lasers have been in use since 1997 and the
Food and Drug Administration approved it for "permanent
hair reduction." Laser hair removal has become extremely
popular because of its speed and lasting results,
although the more desirable results of treatment are
dependent upon the skill and experience of the laser
operator, and the choice and availability of different
laser technology at the clinic which is performing the
procedure.
