In Which Areas Is Laser Hair Removal Most Effective?


Laser Hair Removal Montréal

Shaving or waxing unwanted hair can start to feel like a never-ending chore. Fortunately, you can save time with laser hair removal. This highly effective cosmetic treatment destroys hair follicles to prevent hair from growing back. Laser hair removal can successfully treat almost any area of the body (or face) that grows hair. In this blog, the team at Dr. Arie Benchetrit Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery discusses some of the areas where they’ve seen the best results.

Under Your Arms

Women grow hair in their underarms just like men but face societal pressure to keep their armpits bare. If you are tired of shaving your armpits on a nearly daily schedule, the good news is that laser hair removal is especially effective in this region. This means no longer having to stop to shave before you put on a tank top or short-sleeve shirt.

Your Lower Legs

Laser treatment is most effective at eliminating darker, coarser hair. One of the areas where this hair is most prevalent is below the knees. Many patients seek laser treatment for the lower legs so that they can put on shorts, skirts, and other similar-length attire without a second thought. While it is also possible to treat the upper portion of the legs, many patients decide to shave/wax their thighs as necessary since they are not on display nearly as often.

Your Face

Many women have at least a small amount of facial hair, but most are unfond of stubble or peach fuzz on the chin, upper lip, and cheeks. Laser hair reduction can help you avoid having to search for stray hairs that need plucking in the mirror.

Your Bikini Area

Bikini waxes are one of the most popular treatments for pubic hair, but the discomfort associated with this treatment makes it an unappealing option over the long term. Laser hair reduction causes minimal discomfort, despite the fact that the skin in the bikini area is more sensitive. And while the results are not permanent, they last longer than waxing or shaving.
