The basics of laser hair removal

March 22, 2010
Posted in Laser Hair Removal — Written by Lindsey

Body hair removal is not just for women suffering with excess hair growth, but also for men. For some the process is purely cosmetic, but for others, excess hair growth has more damaging effects, both psychologically and hygienically. A number of methods have been used over the years for getting rid of unwanted hair, including plucking, waxing, shaving, the use of chemical lotions and electrolysis. Nowadays, laser hair removal is in great demand.

Laser hair removal is a form of therapy that inhibits the growth of hair follicles using a highly concentrated beam of light known as a laser. Stopping the follicles from working prevents the production of hair in the treated area.

Laser hair removal is considered to be one of the best and safest methods of excess body hair removal. This treatment causes no pain and hardly ever requires the use of anesthesia. In addition, laser acne treatment is a very quick process. Each session generally takes between a minimum of 10 minutes to a maximum 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated. Several sessions may be required to fully inhabit the follicles.

The speed and effectiveness of the treatment make this procedure incredibly popular among people suffering with hirsutism.
