Laser hair removal is the process where a doctor or practitioner apply a low-energy laser to the skin where your hair follicles are located. This laser targets the dark pigment or melanin in the hair and causes the hair follicles to go into a resting or telegen phase. After several treatments, the hair doesn't grow back. In most cases, the reduction in hair regrowth is not permanent because you still need to come in for maintenance treatments every year or so to keep the results.
There are certain things that you should definitely consider when you go in to have laser hair removal done. The most obvious is whether or not you are a good candidate for this procedure. The best candidate is a light skinned dark haired individual. The worst candidate for laser removal is a dark skinned or light haired individual. Why? Because the laser has a hard time distinguishing between the hair and skin when those conditions exist.
If you are one of those individuals, then you will have to spend extra time searching for a highly-skilled professional that can achieve the results despite your physical conditions. If you can't find anyone, you might consider an alternate procedure that is called electrolysis. That can be effective for the face and other easy to reach areas.
You should know that there are lots of different shapes and sizes of lasers. The best clinics have multiple lasers to fit individual needs best. Some lasers even have different wavelengths of light that they emit which changes their effectiveness on different types of people.
