Frequently asked questions on Permanent Laser Hair Removal

Q:  How does laser hair removal work?

A:  Laser hair removal is a great way to get rid of unwanted hair in both men and women on a permanent basis. Lasers that are used for hair removal, uses optical energy to reach the pigment in the hair. Since lasers have different wavelengths which influences the depth of penetration. The whole concept of laser treatment is to get the necessary heat to the root of the hair to damage it permanently. However, not all lasers can identify the same hair colour and skin type eventhough a majority of them have the capacity to do so.

Most lasers will target a lot of energy on the roots, so that the entire root is affected and not the skin, which makes the treatment much safer and highly effective. Lasers target pigmented hair and the hair removal treatment becomes more effective on dark hair with a lighter skin tone. Lighter and fine hair cannot absorb heat, which would result in an unsuccessful permanent hair removal Gold Coast.

Q: What make a good candidate for laser hair removal?

A: Laser hair removal can be done all over the body, on places that the individual would want to remove unwanted hair. Men and women looking for laser hair removal should consult a hair removal expert in order to determine their skin type and hair colour so that they get the best possible benefit from laser hair removal. The darker the pigmentation and lighter the skin, the results will be very positive but may not be so, for fair hair and pale skin.

Q: What is the best type of laser that could be used for permanent hair removal?

A: The best option for laser treatment would be the combination of diode laser energy with bi-polar radio frequency and intense pulsed light energies. This is a very safe and effective laser hair remova option.

Q: How many laser treatment would an individual need and how often?

A: The body has certain hairs that grow naturally all the time, while some slow down on the growth process. Therefore, these actively growing hairs are those that should be targeted and removed. Therefore, an individual may need between 6 -8 treatments within 4 to 8 weeks apart. These time lines may differ from the type of laser that is used and the area of the body.

Q: Is laser hair removal pain-free?

A: Compared to the pain of waxing and other commercial hair removal products, laser treatments can cause a little pain and discomfort depending on the body area that is treated, the laser that is used and the colour of the hair.
