Why Laser Hair Removal?  In comparison to electrolysis (electricity delivered to each individual hair follicle), laser hair removal is faster, more efficient, and less painful. Although electrolysis can be a good solution for fair hair. Generally, people also feel that laser hair removal is less painful than waxing and it’s definitely more effective long-term. It’s very satisfying and liberating.

What Are the Typical Results? Genetic pre-disposition is always a factor to be considered, but generally you’ll see a difference with each treatment – with the hair becoming softer, the shaving issue is 100% improved. The back can be more difficult because it’s an area of thicker skin, but the bikini area responds wonderfully, as well as the chin and the upper lip.

 

Who’s Doing It? Anyone from their 20s to 60s, mainly.  We all have dormant hair follicles that are prone to becoming active if certain hormones are triggered through things like pregnancy and menopause. Those with light skin and dark hair are the best candidates for Laser Hair Removal. But those individuals with darker skin can have coarser hair and can therefore also benefit from it.

The LightSheer laser works the best for those with darker skin tones.    

Does It Hurt? Some people say it feels like an elastic band snapping against your skin. It’s a little more intense than this – a bit sharper than an elastic. But everyone’s pain threshold is different.

What are the possible causes of excessive hair growth and how can it affect my treatments? The causes of excessive hair growth pattern are many and varied, including: 

Heredity

Pregnancy  

Glandular and/or hormonal imbalances (possible PCOS condition for women)  

Insulin resistance issues  

Reactions to certain medications

Normal aging processes

Excessive temporary removal methods like waxing, tweezing, creams and depilatories, etc Every laser candidate should explore a possible underlying reason of the extreme hair growth before starting laser because if there is something in the body consistently triggering hair growth, laser treatments might seem ineffective because the body will keep developing new hair.

Is it safe? The “LightSheer Diode” laser is the most advanced and powerful hair removal laser available. This laser is approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction and can be used on all skin colors, including tanned skin.
