Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to permanently remove unwanted hair and save you from the hassle of shaving or waxing. While results vary from person to person, you can expect to start seeing hair loss approximately 1 to 3 weeks after your first treatment. On average, most people will need six to eight treatments to remove hair or reduce hair growth, with a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first session. The laser and heat energy travel down the hair shaft to the hair follicle, stunning its natural growth cycle and releasing the hairs it was growing on.
Most people start to see results from laser hair removal treatments in the first few weeks after their first consultation, with hair falling out three to five days after their session. Laser hair removal can be used on almost any area of the body, including the bikini region, upper lip, armpits, upper arms, and other areas. Possible side effects are rare when laser hair removal is performed by a dermatologist or under their direct supervision. The treatment can last about an hour for larger areas such as the back, chest, upper part and lower abdomen. With each treatment, additional hair follicles are destroyed until, in most cases, all of the hair is permanently absent.
However, there is a chance that the body may grow new hair follicles in the treated area.
