Laser is an effective treatment for hair removal
Yes, laser hair removal really works. I can tell you personally, because I have had it and it is very effective. Our machine, the Cynosure Elite, is the fastest and most effective laser that I have seen. As with any machine, one treatment is not enough and you will require several treatments to maximize your results. However, you should be pleasantly surprised about how quick and effective the treatments are.
Good Luck.

Laser hair removals works: on the right hairs!
Laser hair removal definitely works, but it works best on dark hairs on a light background... and not at all on white or blonde or red hairs. The laser needs the dark hair as a target, and the lighter the surrounding skin is, the easier it is for the laser to treat without damaging the area around. So dark hair on dark skin, tricky. Light hair on any skin, get electrolysis instead.

Yes, laser hair removal works on dark coarse hairs. It does not work on silver or gray hairs and it's difficult to treat very very thin hairs such as the fuzzy baby hairs typically found on the sides of the face.

Laser hair removal works
There are many places that I feel have given laser hair removal a bad name. Laser hair removal works if you go to a reputable place that purchases and knows how to use the correct lasers on each individual. Not all lasers are created equal. There are so many lasers available on the market to doctors right now, ranging in price from $10,000 all the way up to $200,000. There are also lasers that are "all-in-ones", meaning that this one laser performs skin rejuvenation, leg vein...

Laser Hair Removal has great results
Laser hair removal can permanently reduce the growth of hair by 90%, and some patients have complete permanent hair removal. Five to seven sessions are necessary for optimal results. Each session is spaced out 4 to 6 weeks apart. Being consistent with your sessions are very important! The laser is attracted to pigment, such as brown or black hair. Any white, grey, or blonde hair cannot be seen by the laser, therefore, no result.

The best candidates will have hair that has some color and coarseness to it.

Laser Hair Removal: How does it work?
Laser hair removal works by a process known as selective photothermolysis, wherein a specific wavelength of light is directed towards the skin and hair. The light energy is selectively absorbed by the hair follicle over the skin and the hair follicle heats up and dies. The process is actually very simple.
Warning about laser hair removal: The treatments should be done under direct physician supervision and be careful you are actually getting a laser treatment vs. other alternative...
