Where on the body is laser hair removal typically used?
The most popular areas for laser hair removal are above the lip, on the chin, under the arms, on the legs, on the thighs, and back. Through the use of a low-energy laser, hair follicles in a specified area are targeted. Thanks to the pulse of light, the follicles will become inactive. After several visits to your dermatologist, enough hair follicles will be damaged to cause permanent hair loss in the treated areas. If you only need your face treated, expect brief sessions and fewer visits. If you are dealing with a larger area of the body, such as the thighs, you will have to come for more treatment sessions that last for a longer period of time.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Laser hair removal causes minimal discomfort. It is less painful than do-it-yourself methods that do not have permanent results. Before your scheduled laser hair removal session, avoid tanning for the previous two weeks. Do a thorough shave of the area that is going to be treated. After laser hair removal, you can expect your skin to be pink. Avoid exposure to the sun on the affected area. Otherwise, wear sunscreen in order to reduce discomfort.
