Your skin is covered in tens of thousands of hair follicles. Each follicle extends from the surface of your skin to the deeper layers, where a hair root produces the cells that create strands of hair. Hair grows in distinct cycles, including phases of active growth, resting, and shedding. Laser hair removal works by using concentrated beams of light to create heat in the hair follicles, which damages the hair root and prevents normal regrowth.

Laser hair removal works best when performed during the active growth phase. That’s why you need several treatments in each area to achieve optimal results.

Laser hair removal may not be anyone’s favorite way to spend time, but it is not painful or significantly uncomfortable. Many people say the sensation is similar to having a rubber band snapped against the skin. Keep in mind that the laser will only work in areas where hair is present. That means that your first session will create the most sensation, and subsequent visits will only get easier. Once you’ve achieved your hair removal goals, you’ll only need to come in for occasional maintenance sessions to keep your skin smooth and hair-free.

The initial cost of laser hair removal might seem high, but when you look at the long-term costs, laser hair removal makes great financial sense. All the razors, shaving creams, waxing strips, depilatory creams, and trips to the salon are not free. Those expenses add up, and they don’t go away as long as you decide to keep removing unwanted hair. Laser hair removal offers the chance to get smooth skin after just a few short visits. Some of the areas where laser hair removal is commonly performed include:

• Legs

• Arms

• Chest

• Back

• Face

• Neck

• Bikini area

• Buttocks

You can even have “spot treatments” performed to remove unwanted hair on small areas like your ears or knuckles.
