Apogee is laser brand used in laser hair removal.
Apogee offers a form of laser therapy that may provide you with permanent hair removal regardless of the hair follicle depth. However, if your skin is dark toned or tanned, and the hairs are light, fine, blonde or gray, then Apogee laser hair removal is not likely a good option.

Advantages of laser hair removal over electrolysis
Laser treatments like Apogee are seen as a significant improvement over electrolysis which requires time consuming and painful hair removal process. Another alternative is waxing, but we all know that waxing is temporary and painful enough each time to have us question whether it's worth it.
The main advantage of Apogee lasers is that the laser operator (hopefully a highly trained technician or doctor) can zap numerous hair follicles at a time. Apogee delivers rapid pulses of energy that penetrate the skin and target dark hair follicles. The laser delivers energy which is absorbed by your hair and transformed to heat. The heat destroys the hair growing structures. This type of permanent hair removal requires several treatment sessions. Since the laser is minimally invasive and leaves your top layer of skin intact, you have less swelling, redness and downtime.
Laser hair removal can be painful
You may want to utilize a numbing cream or take an anti-inflammatory in advance of a treatment session. Reported complications can include burns or other injuries from the heat and obvious lightening or darkening of the treated area (this can take 3 to 6 months to go away).
