My experience began when I noticed extra hair on my upper lip. It wasn’t dark but thick and in some lighting it looked almost bushy. I thought if I tweezed it then it would grow back darker. So began my journey to find a solution that would work and wouldn’t cost too much. Laser hair removal seemed like the perfect solution. After looking online and gathering as much information as I could I called a few clinics in my area. I made appointments with a few clinics. After having initial consultations and feeling like all my questions had been answered I committed to one clinic and started my treatment. In four easy, almost painless sessions, I was absolutely impressed with the results and wondered why I had waited so long.
We’ve all heard of laser hair removal. It’s been around for over 10 years. If you’ve thought like I have how nice it would be to permanently get rid of unwanted hair then it’s time to educate yourself. The questions that usually follow are… Is it permanent? How many sessions before I see results? What is the cost?
Is it permanent?
Today Laser Hair Removal is the most effective method to get rid of unwanted hair, although the hair treated in the correct stage and each targeted follicle is permanently disabled the treatment results may vary for each individual. The use of medications, pregnancy and other hormonal changes may affect and stimulate other hair follicles. However, you will experience a permanent hair reduction.
Permanent hair reduction means that laser hair removal will reduce the total number of body hairs, but it does not mean that all hairs in the treatment area will be eliminated.
Although permanent hair removal may be possible over time with multiple treatments, the use of lasers for “permanent hair removal” cannot be guaranteed. Since laser hair removal is still a relatively new technology, the FDA will not approve the claim of “permanent hair removal” until there is sufficient data to demonstrate such results. What may be claimed is that laser hair removal achieves “permanent hair reduction”.
How many sessions before I see results?
Between 4 and 6 treatments are necessary for optimal results, although this may vary depending on the customer.
