Laser hair removal treatment is a procedure to permanently reduce one’s hair. It is done with a hand held laser device which uses pulsed light to destroy the dark pigment (or melanin) in the hair and so impairing hair follicles. Hair usually starts to fall out after about 10-14 days after the treatment.

Hair growth had three different stages, the growing stage, the resting stage and the shedding stage. Hair reduction using the laser method is best used during the growing stage. The problem is that every hair does not grow at the same rate. So to get the best results, multiple laser treatment has to be done. And very little or even no hair growth at all is required to perform this treatment.

There are advantages in choosing to have laser hair removal treatment. It is considered non-invasive and it is a relatively quick procedure compared to others. The area of both legs can take only about a couple of hours. Also although it does not totally remove all the hair, it significantly reduces the amount. About 40%-80% of hair is removed and the hair that will re-grow will be lighter and less noticeable. Also, when performed by a skilled professional, this type of hair reduction method is considered quite safe.

On the other hand, there are also a few disadvantages in using this method. The first one is that it can be a very costly procedure. Also this can be a painful procedure, especially if the pain tolerance of the patient is low. Other side effects may be skin discoloration, burns and lesions. This procedure yields the best results for light skinned, dark haired individuals, so not everyone is a good candidate for this. People with dark skin tone or those with blonde or gray hair may not benefit so much with laser hair treatment. And there are a lot of incompetent practitioners out there so patients need to be thorough in choosing the right clinics to have their hair reduction.

While laser hair removal treatment is effective and many people have already benefited from it, it is still important to be well informed before going ahead and having the procedure. Talk to a qualified clinician and have him or her explain the advantages as well as the risks involved. Also to avoid confusion, people need to be aware that this procedure is hair reduction, not really hair removal. When you have all the facts you need about this treatment, then that’s the time you can decide if you want to go through with it, or not.
