Laser Hair Removal Information
 Laser Hair Removal is quickly becoming one of the easiest and most convenient treatment methods for removing unwanted facial and body hair. Since this treatment was first introduced 1998, laser hair removal has become one of the most popular non-invasive aesthetic procedures; it is now available worldwide in clinics, medical spas and doctor's offices. Based on the principal of selective photothermolysis, treatments for hair removal by laser work to target and destroy unwanted hair by way of pigment seeking light. This hair removal treatment is truly revolutionary because it can be used on virtually any part of the face or body. Contrary to more traditional hair removal methods, such as shaving, waxing, bleaching and tweezing, the hair reduction effects of laser hair removal are long term. With this innovative procedure, patients get lasting hair removal results.
Laser treatments are revolutionary because they utilize concentrated beams of laser light that pass through the outer layers of skin to target the root of the hair in the hair follicle which lies below. The laser is attracted to the pigment or color found in the hair follicles and once absorbed, the laser light transforms into heat which cauterizes the blood supply to the hair, effectively destroying it and inhibiting re-growth. This treatment is truly ground-breaking because while it can actively destroy hair follicles, it does no thermal damage to the surrounding area, including the skin. When first developed, laser treatments were only effective effective for individuals who had coarse, dark facial and body hair and lighter skin tones, however; continued advances in laser technology have led to the development of laser devices capable of treating all skin tones including tanned skin. While laser technology has progressed in regard to skin tone, the fact remains that the key to the lasers effectiveness is in the pigment seeking light. Unfortunately those individuals with blonde, gray, white or red hair will not experience effective results via laser treatments because the laser simply cannot 'see' the hair. It is important that potential patients know that laser hair removal should always be performed by a doctor, nurse, esthetician or professional laser technician in an office, clinic or spa like setting. In addition, facial and body hair grows in three different phases, but can only be effectively treated in the active growth phase. This means that all patients require a series of treatments in order to experience successful results; it generally takes an average of six sessions in order to ensure all of the hair follicles are effectively destroyed. After a simple series of sessions, the area you had treated with laser hair removal will be virtually hair free, and will remain hair free, barring any complications. Once the laser actively treats and destroys a hair follicle, it will never grow back; however, we have millions of hair follicles on our bodies, many which are currently inactive, and with hormonal changes and certain health ailments that can cause new hair growth, we cannot guarantee that you will never see hair growth in the area again. Hair re-growth is very rare and only due to medical or hormonal variants, most men and women will experience 85 to 100 per cent permanent hair reduction that will last for years! For lasting hair removal results, there's no better hair removal option available than Laser Hair Removal.
