One of the most frustrating things both women and men have to deal with when it comes to our daily maintenance routine is shaving. You shave the day before only to wake up the next morning with stubble already! Shaving feels like a never ending task, so what about Laser Hair Removal? I have put together the top 5 things you should consider before committing to the process, as it is not a one treatment fix.
1) How many sessions are required?
The process works by targeting the hair follicles with laser pulse beams of light into hair in the growth phase to destroy the follicle. A series of laser sessions are required and are usually spaced 4 to 10 weeks apart according to Nurse Tracy Barlow who works alongside Dr. Michael law.
Results can vary depending on the treatment area and works best on dark hair, it does not work on blonde or gray hair according to Gretta Handley, Patient Care Manager at Davis Plastic Surgery.
3) Which Laser Hair Removal System Works Best?
Nurse Tracy Barlow explains that there is no single laser that works best, it depends on yours skin type.
4) How much does it cost?
The price of laser hair removal varies an multiple treatments are required. According to Nurse Tracy Barlow, paying per session is the way to go.
No, it is not necessary to grow out your hair before treatment. Actually you need to be clean shaven as of the night before or the morning of your treatment.
