No, laser hair removal is only suitable for hair containing dark/darkish pigment. We offer electrolysis to treat hair containing little or no dark pigment.
There is a sensation to this treatment however it is best described as slightly uncomfortable rather than painful. Most people tolerate the laser treatment well and say the benefits are well worthwhile.
The answer is yes. The U.S Food and Drug Administration approved it as a safe method for hair removal in 1997. However, laser hair removal is only safe when a licensed technician performs the procedure.
Laser hair removal involves the use of laser pulses. These pulses emit light into the skin that destroys the root and follicle of the hair. When the root and follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow.
For this process to work, the hair must be targeted during an active growth phase. However, individual hairs usually grow at different rates. Therefore, it takes several treatment sessions to capture every hair in the growth phase and produce optimal results.
The cost of laser hair removal varies depending upon the area of the body you want to treat and how many sessions you need. The larger the area, the more time it will require. The amount of time will determine the exact price of treatment.
Anyone can get laser hair removal, regardless of skin colour or hair type. However, people with light skin and dark hair tend to see faster and better results than people with light hair or a darker skin tone. Any man or woman can have the treatments, though pregnant women should wait until after they’ve given birth to begin their sessions.
