Benefits
Accuracy. The laser can selectively target dark, coarse hair without damaging the surrounding skin.
Speed. Each pulse of the laser takes only a fraction of a second, allowing multiple hairs to be treated at the same time. The laser can treat an area about the size of a quarter per second.
No recurrence. Most patients will experience permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven treatments.
Wide range of use. The laser can be used to remove unwanted hair from the face, legs, chin, back, arms, underarms, bikini line and other areas
Precautions
Laser hair removal is more than just the "removal" of unwanted hair. It is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries potential risks. Before having laser hair removal, you should thoroughly check the qualifications of the doctor or technician performing the procedure.
If you plan to have laser hair removal, you should limit plucking, waxing and electrolysis for six weeks prior to treatment. This is because the laser targets the root of the hair that has been temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.
You should also avoid sunlight exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure can make laser hair removal less effective and make you more likely to experience post-treatment complications.
Recovery and risks
After a day or two, your treated areas of skin will look and feel like they have been sunburned. Cold compresses and moisturizers may help. If your face gets treated, you can wear makeup the next day unless your skin blisters.
For the next month, your treated hair will fall out. Wear sunscreen for the next month to help prevent temporary changes in the color of the treated skin.
Blisters are rare, but are more likely to occur in people with darker skin tones. Other potential side effects are swelling, redness and scarring. Permanent scarring or skin color changes are rare.
