Hair removal treatments have long been increasing in demand, and are popular among both men and women. There are many options when it comes to removing hair, from shaving at home to getting it waxed. Few options offer truly permanent hair removal, unfortunately, leaving you to deal with shaving or waxing over and over again. Laser hair removal is one of the few treatments that can permanently remove hair, eliminating the need for repeated removal. It’s not quite that simple, though, as there are many misconceptions about the treatment that any prospective patient should be aware of.
How Many Treatments are Required?
It’s true that laser hair removal can offer permanent hair removal, but it requires more than a single treatment. Some people experience a significant reduction of hair after a few treatments, but some people need more. Each person’s hair is different and will require a different treatment approach to achieve permanent hair removal.
Will Laser Hair Removal Work for Me?
One myth about laser hair removal is that it only works on certain hair colors or skin types. Some hair colors and skin types are more susceptible to the laser treatment than others. This does not mean that it won’t work for other hair colors and skin types; it just may require additional treatments to achieve the same results. Laser technology is better than ever, so doctors have the ability to customize the strength of the laser to give each patient the best results possible.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
The term “laser” can be scary, but the technology used for these procedures are FDA approved and safe for the skin. They are highly accurate and controlled devices, and when operated by a certified doctor, there is very little risk involved in treatment. Dr. Austin uses one of the most advanced hair removal lasers on the market, LightSheer® Desire™, to provide effective, comfortable laser hair removal for all body parts and skin types.
