Laser Hair Removal 101
COMMON QUESTIONS
Lasers and light systems don’t actually remove hair. They kill unwanted hair by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle and disabling the hair from further growth. Laser hair removal can put an end to routine shaving and waxing. Since hair follicle growth cycles vary, some hair follicles may enter the growth cycle after your treatment, therefore multiple treatments are generally necessary.
Treatable Areas
Most areas of the body can be treated. If there is an area of concern that is not mentioned, be sure to bring that up during your consultation so that our experts can let you know if that area could also benefit from laser hair removal.
Under the Arms
The underarm area can be a real pain for many when it comes to hair removal. Many people who shave their underarm hair often suffer from razor burn or irritation. With laser hair removal, you can be free of unwanted hair in this area without the hassle.
The Upper Lip (The Stache)
This is another major area of concern for many because well— it’s your face. Laser hair removal can permanently reduce the quantity and thickness of unwanted facial hair. Say good-bye to the stache!
The Legs
The legs are a very popular treatment area. Imagine all the time and sanity you could save without having to deal with unwanted hair on your legs!
The Bikini Line
This is another area that can be a pain when it comes to hair removal but with laser hair removal, you can be free of that unwanted hair and always be ready for bathing suit season.
The Back
This area is notorious for being difficult when it comes to hair removal. If you have excessive hair on your back, you know how uncomfortable the hair removal process can be. With this treatment, you won’t have to worry about hair removal in that area anymore.
Is It Safe?
Yes, laser hair removal is completely safe and approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction.
