LHR: What Laser Is Best for My Skin?
Laser hair removal patients are constantly asking the same question: “what laser is best for my skin?”
Fortunately, there are many different lasers, each one designed to best treat different skin types.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
A laser hair removal treatment will involve the use of laser technology that directly targets your hair at the root in order to destroy it to prevent regrowth.
Does it Hurt?
Comfortable laser hair removal is possible through the advancements in laser technology.
In fact, in most cases, you will not even need a numbing agent to counteract any potential for pain.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
Laser hair removal is completely safe and very effective.
What are the Treatment Results?
Most people require around six laser hair removal treatments before they can achieve their desired results.
At the end of your treatments, you can expect to have a hair-free area that doesn’t require any more expensive waxing, shaving, or bleaching treatments.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Any male or female can be treated with laser hair removal.
Moreover, with the advancement in technology this popular treatment is available for all skin types, even dark or tanned skin.
However, patients with blond or red hair will likely not benefit from laser hair removal.
Popular Treatment Areas
While this treatment can be applied anywhere, popular treatment areas include the underarms, arms, legs, and bikini area.
Is There Any Downtime?
There is no downtime for your laser hair removal treatment!
