Here’s everything you need to know about laser hair removal benefits, side effects, and cost.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
Many women and men decide to undergo laser hair removal because it provides a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to zap hair from the face and body.
Other benefits of the procedure include its precision and speed. During treatment, the laser selectively targets melanin in multiple follicles, without harming surrounding tissue.
In doing so, it treats large areas of unwanted hair, with pulses that last a fraction of a second.
As a result, treatment for small parts of the body, like the lip, can be performed in a matter of minutes. While larger areas, such as the arms and legs, can take 30-60 minutes.
What’s more, laser hair removal produces long-lasting and predictable results. In fact, following a series of six-to-eight sessions, patients can achieve up to a 60-90 percent permanent reduction in hair growth.
Are There Any Side Effects?
In the hands of a skilled and experienced provider, laser hair removal is an extremely low-risk procedure.
Post-treatment, patients may note that the treated area looks and feels like a mild sunburn. However, these effects resolve on their own within the next 24 hours.
Rare, but possible, complications can include blisters, discoloration, and scarring. Often times, such issues are temporary.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
- Full Body Special $445 If Buying Pkg of 5 (Female Only) or $500 Pay As You Go
- Full Chest, Back, Shoulders & Abdomen $450 (Male)
