Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal has become an increasingly common method nowadays. The laser is a safe and effective substitute for more traditional means of body hair removal such as razors, wax, hair removal creams, etc. Unlike other hair removal means, the removing process is done using light. The laser beams pulses of light over the target area, thereby destroying hair follicles and preventing future growth, thus permanently removing unwanted hair. Laser machines are designed to direct the energy only to hair follicles and the superficial layer of the skin; as a result, internal organs are in no way exposed to laser rays. Significant results can be witnessed immediately after one session, but several laser sessions are recommended for complete hair removal. The exact number of sessions is determined by the attending physician and depends on such factors as the type and texture of the skin and the thickness of the hair. In addition, laser hair removal is not a gender-specific treatment, and both men and women can apply.
