Laser hair removal has come a long way in a short perion of time. It is safe on your face. It is very expensive though.
Laser hair removal works by sending a targeted pulse laser light directly into your hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the melanin (or pigment) in your hair and converted into heat, permanently disabling your hair follicles from growing new hair.
Laser hair removal technology has been in use for decades and is considered both safe and permanent by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Normal side effects include itching during treatment and redness or irritation for up to 3 days. More rare side effects are crusting from ingrown hairs, bruising, or temporary pigment change. Rare side effects are usually caused by inexperienced or inattentive technicians.
We have performed thousands of treatments on numerous clients and can proudly say the vast majority are happy with the procedure. As a suggestion, when choosing a laser hair removal provider, we recommend you consider the following factors:
1) The clinic/salon: most reputable providers will offer free consultations in order to best determine your treatment. Choose a place that is clean, up-to-date and is focused on your treatment rather than sales. Since consultations are usually free, visit a number of places as prices, service, and experience can vary significantly.
2) The laser specialist: Not all specialists are created equal. Choose a specialist based on their knowledge, experience and care. Ask a lot of questions to get a feel for your specialist and so that the specialist can better understand your needs. Within a chain clinic, experience can vary wildly (there is often a lot of employee turnover within chains) and even dermatologists may decide to add a laser to their current practice, but lack the specialized knowledge necessary to use the laser to effectively treat your skin. Hair removal is not taught in medical schools; you want someone with specific knowledge on laser hair removal.
3) The laser: Not every laser is effective for every skin type. Alexandrite and diode lasers are effective when the skin is light and the hair is dark. Nd:YAG lasers are best for darker skin types. And make sure the laser is up to date. As with most technology, laser effectiveness has much improved in the last few years. Look for precision cooling of the skin prior to laser application and exact delivery of an effective energy beam deep into the tissue.
