If you’re like most women and many men, you have probably handled most of your hair removal needs by shaving on a regular basis. In certain areas, you may even spring for waxing from time-to-time. Given the pain and inconvenience of these methods, you’ve probably wondered more than once if laser hair removal is a good option. Here’s what you need to know about laser hair removal.
How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal uses a special frequency laser to target the follicles that are producing unwanted hair, destroying existing hair, and causing the follicle to go dormant. Lasers like the GentleMax Pro laser can do this for virtually all skin types and hair colors.
Will Laser Hair Removal Damage My Skin?
Because this laser can be highly focused, it only targets the hair you want to get rid of, not the surrounding skin, which is part of what makes the procedure very safe and very tolerable. This means the procedure ultimately leaves you with very smooth, undamaged skin.
Are There Long-Term Risks to Laser Hair Removal?
The laser causes the follicle to go dormant, essentially “putting it to sleep,” so that no hair grows in the affected area for many months. You should expect no adverse effects to the procedure.
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
This varies from person-to-person, but you can expect many months of hairlessness in the target area, longer than waxing or depilatories, and certainly longer than from shaving.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Do You Need?
This also varies from person-to-person, but we find that to get the large majority of hair in one area and leave you with that smooth, hairless look, at least five treatments are indicated. For this reason, Le Reve Med Spa offers very reasonable five-treatment laser hair removal packages. Furthermore, if you order a package this month, you’ll enjoy an additional 20% off your treatments.
