If you are tired of plucking, shaving, and electrolysis, it’s time for you to know the facts about laser hair removal. These are just a few frequently asked questions and answers about this amazing hair removal treatment:

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses heat and light energy to damage the hair follicle, so hair doesn’t grow back.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

No, because the laser only damages the hair follicle, not the surrounding skin. Laser hair removal is virtually painless.

Which areas of the body can be treated with laser hair removal?

Unlike electrolysis, which only works on small areas, laser hair removal can remove unwanted hair from both small and large areas of your body. Laser hair removal is perfect for removing hair from your upper lip, chin, chest, underarms, back, legs, and bikini line.

How long does each treatment take?

Your treatment time will vary depending on the area treated. Smaller areas take just a few minutes, and larger areas can take from 30 to 90 minutes.

How many treatments are required to completely remove hair?

4 to 6 treatments are usually required, but this can vary depending on your skin, hair color, hair texture, and other factors.

Are there any side effects to laser hair removal?

Some people feel a slight sunburn feeling, along with slight redness and swelling. These effects go away within 2 to 24 hours after treatment.
