As we get older, we tend to get more wrinkles, lines and
unwanted hair growing in places it shouldn't. Our goal is to
provide you with some straight facts about laser hair removal.
The first question most people ask is will they make a good
candidate for this type of treatment. The number one requirement
is that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. So
if you are fair skinned and have dark, unwanted hair, you would
indeed be a good candidate. Dark skinned people tend to absorb
too much laser energy and therefore are not considered
candidates for this procedure. People also want to know about
permanent hair removal and the difference between laser hair
removal and electrolysis.
One thing to keep in mind is that laser hair removal or
electrolysis is not cheap. It can range in price from a few
hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars depending on the
size of area being treated. The average treatment cost is
approximately $500 and most people require about 4 treatments.
Your best bet is to go and speak with a consultant who will be
able to give your more specific pricing information. Shaving,
waxing and plucking are hair removal techniques used, however,
they are not effective at permanent hair removal. There is
better and better equipment entering the market with greater
results. Even though more treatments lead to longer lasting
results, there is no way to precisely predict for any given
person.
The most common areas people look to have hair removal take
place is the bikini line, legs, face, upper lip, chest,
underarms, back and abdomen. This can be done using the laser
hair removal or electrolysis procedure which claims to be a
permanent hair removal process. It does tend to be painful, but
most people consider it tolerable. There may be some temporary
post treatment swelling and redness but this will quickly
subside. Others have experienced permanent pitting or scarring
so before you begin any treatment you must gather as much
information as you can to make an informed decision. No matter
which hair removal process you choose, you will likely feel more
confident and happy with your appearance.
