What Makes Laser An Effective Hair Removal Treatment?

Getting rid of body hair is a troublesome task. All the methods like waxing, plucking, shaving are ways to make body parts look smooth, but none of these offer a permanent solution. They have to be repeated consistently to maintain the results.

However, thanks to the laser technique, there is now a permanent solution available to this problem.

In the last couple of years, laser has become a preferred non-surgical method in the US for treating body hairs. This process entails throwing a laser beam on the skin. The melanin also known as pigment present in hair follicles absorbs the beam. This process is applicable on almost every body part. Starting from chin to toes, it can remove hair from almost every part of the body.

Laser hair removal in Manhattan is workable on people with almost every skin color and all types of hair. However, it gives best results to people who have lighter skin tone and darker hair. It provides almost permanent results and can destroy up to 80% of growth on the area that is to be treated. Even if they do grow back, they will be extremely fine and light in color, which makes them almost unnoticeable.

People should know that this treatment is offered by many independent practitioners at spas, walk in clinics, beauty salons and even at shopping malls. However, it is critical to select an expert practitioner for the best results. Make sure that the treatment is performed under the supervision of an expert dermatologist.

Typically, it requires three or more than three sittings to achieve permanent reduction in the growth. If you have darker hair, the laser will work to the maximum advantage of yours, by giving best possible results. Although light colored hairs are least responsive to laser, practitioners apply topical medications with a view to increase its effectiveness.

Patients who are planning on undergoing this treatment are advised to avoid any form of skin treatment such as sunless tanners, or any other treatment weeks before the laser. The amount of hair removed per sitting will vary depending on which body part is being treated. Areas where skin is thin such as bikini area and armpits usually respond better to laser compared to thick-skinned body parts such as chin and back.
