Whether it’s thick dark hair on the arms and legs or little hairs on the upper lip, unwanted hair can be a nightmare for women. Many people have unwanted hair all over the body caused by genetics, medications, hormonal imbalance, and conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome.
This unwanted hair can be removed using several methods, which include shaving, plucking, creams, hot wax, threading, and electrolysis. These are often painful, frustrating, and time-consuming. If you are looking for a better way, consider laser hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal: Your New Effective Solution
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. In this procedure, the melanin pigment in the hair absorbs the light emitted by the laser. The laser energy, which is converted into heat, damages the hair follicles within the skin. This damage to the hair follicles delays or even obstructs future hair growth.
Laser hair removal has been proved to effectively delay hair growth for long periods, but it does not always result in permanent hair removal. This treatment is used specifically to reduce unwanted hair. It requires several treatments to be able to see the desired results.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal offers a number of benefits:
• Lasers target only the hair, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
• Most patients experience permanent hair reduction after several treatments.
• Lasers can treat many hairs at the same time.
• Lasers can treat small precise areas such as the upper lip, fingers, and toes

Are You a Good Candidate?
If you’re interested in laser hair removal, you must remember the following:
• Since one of the primary targets of the laser is melanin, the treatment may not be suitable for darker skin types.
• Like any other laser treatment, it is not appropriate for pregnant women.
• Individuals with a history of cold sores or herpes simplex virus have to be pretreated before taking this treatment.
• Medications such as blood thinners may increase the risk of side effects.
