If you’re unfamiliar with the process, you undoubtedly have questions. How does laser hair removal (LHR) work? Is it safe for everyone?
How long should laser hair removal last? It’s time to explore this incredible treatment!
Laser hair removal has for years proven to be an effective way to get rid of unwanted hair. When done by an experienced and skilled cosmetic dermatologist, you can expect incredible results.
This treatment uses light energy that is attracted to melanin. This light energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) found in hair and then converts to heat, which then damages the targeted follicle.
There was a time when LHR wasn’t safe for everyone, but that’s changed. Due to significant advances in technology, laser hair removal is now safe for all skin types.
For most people, the results of laser hair removal are permanent, since once a hair follicle is destroyed it cannot regrow hair. For others, it can last for many months if the targeted follicles where only damaged. As they heal, they may start to regrow hair.
So, you might need to follow up with maintenance treatments on occasion to maintain your smooth, hair-free skin. You will definitely notice any re-growth will be less coarse and much thinner.
