What is Laser Hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure where light at a high concentration targets desired areas.This process converts the light to heat which then stunts the growth of hair by sealing the hair follicle.

The procedure does not guarantee that hair will not grow back as each body–with varying levels of hormones–may see different results. However, it does effectively delay hair growth for a long period of time. Laser hair removal only forces hair follicles to go dormant, but it does not destroy them. Because the procedure is not permanent, it may take multiple laser hair removal treatments to see desired results.

When locating specific areas of the body where treatment is wanted, it is important to consider if the skin is available to receive treatment. While laser hair removal can target many parts of the body, removal should not be done over tattoos or damaged skin. Procedures should also not be done on eyelids or any surrounding areas.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal El Paso 

• Quick results: Laser hair removal is a fast way of removing any unwanted hair. As each beam focuses on a specific hair fraction, it is able to treat many hairs equally at the same time. Areas that are much smaller to treat such as the upper lip take much less time than treatment that is done on the legs. Time per procedure depends on what area of the body is being targeted, but all procedures are usually done in less than an hour.
• Undamaged skin: The procedure does not damage skin, only the hair follicle, as the laser light beam focuses and targets the hair very precisely. However, hair and skin color play a factor as greater contrast between skin and hair color allow for greater results and less skin damage. Laser hair removal may be less effective for gray, red, blond, and white hair, since it does not absorb the light very well.
• Permanent hair loss: This procedure must be done at least 3-7 times in order to have almost permanent hair loss. While permanent hair loss cannot be guaranteed, laser hair removal does stop hair from growing for a long period of time–this may last years or forever depending on hair and skin type.
