While the hair on our body serves a more important physiological purpose of providing insulation, most of us would actually prefer not having them at all. Unwanted body hair can be a major cause of cosmetic concern among women as well as men as they rob you of your chance of having beautifully, smooth skin.

In addition to this, unwanted hair on the face, arms, and legs and other commonly visible parts of the body can make some feel less attractive and insecure.

One of the most popular and highly effective treatments for eliminating excess body hair and revealing one;s silky smooth skin is the laser hair removal treatment. With this innovative procedure, any unwanted hairs can be zapped in a snap.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal has often been regarded as the most hassle-free, pain-free, and permanent cosmetic treatments that offer a one-stop solution for all your problems related to unwanted body and facial hair. The procedure makes use of highly focused, intense pulses of laser light to heat up the hair follicles inhibiting their ability to produce more hair.

What To Expect From The Procedure?

When you go in for a laser hair removal treatment, the doctor will first shave off the unwanted hair in the designated treatment area. Your doctor will then modify the intensity of the laser energy depending upon the hair thickness, color, and the body part being treated.

Next, the doctor will apply a cooling gel or use a specialized cooling device to ensure that the outer layers of the skin are well protected during the treatment. An intense pulse of laser light is then applied on the hair located in the target area on your skin.

The laser light will pass through the skin surface and reach the root of the hair, making it extremely hot. The extreme heat destroys the hair follicle and renders it incapable of producing any more hair in the future.

Once the procedure is complete, you will be provided with anti-inflammatory creams and lotions and cold water or ice packs to ease the mild discomfort that may occur after. More often than not, an individual is required to undergo four to eight subsequent laser removal sessions in order to achieve permanent hair reduction.

Why Go For Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a very effective procedure for getting rid of the unwanted hair from your arms, legs, underarms, face, bikini line, back, chest and other areas on the body.

The procedure comes with great precision and helps in selectively destroying the hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

Speed is another major benefit of the laser hair removal treatment. Every single pulse of laser light takes about a fraction of a second to reach the hair follicle and can treat several hairs at a time.

As such, this procedure is a good option for busy professionals who find it hard to squeeze in a cosmetic treatment in their hectic schedule.

Laser hair removal has been around for several years now and offers extremely predictable and satisfactory results every single time.
