Who are Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?

Almost everyone can receive laser treatment, although some people will have better results than during evaluation. The best results occur on people with light skin and dark hair, whereas, good results are difficult to achieve on blonde hair, and on people with dark, or tanned, skin. Through more extensive treatments, however, darker skinned people can achieve a desirable result. If your naturally light skin is very tanned, appointments can be made for the winter, when skin has returned to its natural shade.

Is it Painful?

Most patients describe the experience as a series of pinpricks or sparks on the skin. Anesthesia is not usually required, although it is available. About 30 minutes after the treatment the area will turn red or pink. This may last for a few hours to one day, however it is not permanent and will disappear in a short time.

How Many Treatments are Required?

The laser only affects hair when it is in the early growth phase. The laser will destroy follicles that are producing hair at the time of treatment. At the same time, some follicles are dormant, not producing any hair. Repeated sessions are necessary to destroy these follicles. Because of this cycle, about 5 or more treatments are usually required to fully destroy all the follicles completely.
