There are various types of laser for removing hair from the face and body such as YAG Lasers, Semi-conducting laser and Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Lasers. Each have their own individual strengths and weaknesses. It's perhaps best to choose a practitioner in your area who has a range of laser equipment available and can choose the best solution for you.
What area of the body can be treated?
Laser hair removal can be performed on the face and on any other part of the body but works best on new hairs at the beginning of their growth cycle.
How does it work?
Simply put the laser is tuned to produce a high-intensity ray of light which targets and is absorbed by the pigment of your hair. If your hair pigment is distinct from your skin tone, such as dark hair on pale skin, then the laser beam is concentrated on the hair only and is at it most effective. The treatment often becomes less effective on darker skin or where the hair color becomes less distinguishable from the skin color. White, grey and platinum blonde hair can be difficult to treat.
How Many Treatments?
Most venues for laser hair removal in your area would probably recommend a series of treatments. Treatments might often be sold as a package. To be effective at least three visits may be necessary.
