Laser Hair Removal - FAQ

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

It is done by pointing the laser hair removal machine’s device onto your skin. The system will emit a narrow beam of light that goes through the skin and onto the hair follicles. The light will get attracted to the pigment of the hair follicle. Due to the characteristics of the beam, the hair follicles will be burned up and destroy each hair follicle one at a time. This will help prevent them from growing back for a longer period of time – an effective unwanted hair removal technique only by using laser hair removal systems.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

This depends on individual pain threshold levels. If your pain threshold is very low, then you will find laser hair removal treatment to be a more painful process. In general, many people have felt the similar pain like pin prick or slight sting on the skin (laser burning effect). You will feel more painful at certain location of your body. Area near the public portion will be more painful as the skin there is more sensitive. Where else, you will feel lesser pain if you are to do the laser hair reduction operation on your legs area. Some people will feel swelling and itchiness and their skin may appear pink or red after treatment. However, that is very normal and the effect is temporary and won’t last long.

Permenent Hair Removal Laser – How Long Does The Result Last?

Hair remover is a long lasting method in comparison to other treatments. Normally, it will last up to 6 months. However, if you go for a series of treatments, the result should last you for at least a year.

How long Does The Treatment Take?

Laser hair removal treatments can be done in as fast as a few minutes to hours. The duration periods depend very much on the area that you are operating on. Some factors like hair color, coarseness of the hair also affects the overall operation time.

Below are a few simple guides for laser hair removal treatment:
1) Underarms ~ 2 minutes
2) Shoulders ~ 20 minutes
3) Chin ~ 2 minutes
4) Legs ~ 2 hours
5) Bikini area ~ 10 minutes

Can Anyone Go For Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is more suitable for people who want to get rid of small portion around their body area, such as chin, eyebrows, facial, bikini hair removal, etc. This treatment is not a very good solution to remove large hair area like the body chest and legs. Laser hair removal also works best on people with lighter skin and darker hair. It is recommended to check with your local consultant to know the effectiveness.

What is The Cost of Laser Hair Removal?

An affordable hair removal will usually fall in the range between $400-$500 per treatment. However, doctors will usually advise you to go for at least 3 to 4 sessions in order to see a more satisfactory result. The laser hair removal’s cost also depends very much on the qualifications of the specialist and the type of professional services the laser hair removal clinics can provide.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

In comparison to x-rays and other high radioactive treatments, the laser hair removal system is so far considered safe to be used by most people. The laser beam will only use a wavelength of light to passes through the skin; it will not penetrate through the entire body. There will be no residual to be left behind in your body. However, it is not very advisable to have laser treatments if you are pregnant. It is because, there have not been enough studies conducted on pregnant women to claim it is 100% safe for you and your baby. If you are in doubt, kindly discuss with your doctor to give you more details information.
