Laser hair removal is one of the newest cosmetic procedures available
today. The process is to permanently remove hair from any part of your
body that you wish by the use of a light at a designated wavelength,
which is projected into the skin by way of a laser hand held
instrument.
What the laser accomplishes, after it's reached into the interior of
the skin, is to focus on the hair's pigment. The laser destroys the
follicle of the hair but does not damage the remaining hair tissue
around it.
While laser hair removal can be quite effective and has been so for
many, it is new, and, as compared with older hair removal treatments,
relatively untested. What this means is that we really don't know yet
just how safe or unsafe it might be and the potential for side
effects. The other issue with the newness of this laser hair removal
process is that no one has used it for long enough to have continuity
of statistics that would indicate the rate of response to the laser
hair removal treatment and the rate at which the hair grows back after
each laser hair removal treatment.
