What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly popular as the associated technology (and results) improve and the effects of laser hair removal become more permanent. Most individuals who have used laser hair removal report a permanent reduction in hair growth, and many never experience regrowth following laser hair removal.
Light skin makes laser hair removal easier to perform. Fewer treatments are required, and better, faster results are obtained. People with darker skin can be treated, but results are slower, more sessions are required, and greater expertise is required on the part of the laser center. Laser hair removal must be individualized for each patient.
Dark hair absorbs more laser energy and is easier to treat. Coarse dark hair responds the best to laser treatment. Light hair is more difficult to treat. Blonde or red hair is very difficult to treat. Multiple treatment sessions are required, and results are variable. Blonde or red hair usually contains pheomelanin, which absorbs laser energy less avidly than the eumelanin pigment which is present in black or brown hair.
Laser hair removal is a safe procedure if carried out by an experienced person. Laser hair removal is also permanent.
Although one laser session can produce long-term hair removal, as a rule multiple treatment sessions are necessary to obtain optimal results. In large part this is due to the fact that laser hair removal is most effective for hair which is in the anagen phase. Anagen is the growth phase of hair. Since hair grows in cycles, not all of the hairs are in anagen at any given time. Additional sessions are necessary to catch all of the hairs when they are in anagen.
Some laser hair removal side effects include pigmentation change in the skin of the treated area. While this adverse laser hair removal reaction is temporary, it can last a few months in extreme cases.
Those laser hair removal candidates with fair, untanned skin almost never experience pigmentation change as a result of laser hair removal. Using laser hair removal individuals have longer lasting results than with shaving, waxing, or depilatories.
