You will find that the results are much longer lasting than with any other form of treatment available, and you will not have to run the risk of getting burns like you do with waxing. Many people are under the impression that this type of treatment is extremely painful. It is actually quite a bit less painful that waxing or electrolysis, and any mild discomfort that you may feel throughout the process is over very quickly. There are many places on your body that you can get unwanted hair removed from, and it typically takes about 5 treatments. This is because human hair grows in cycles. The hair that is present during your first treatment is only about 30% of the possible hair that can grow in that particular area. Even though the treated hair is going to fall out, there are dormant hairs lying underneath the surface waiting for the next growth cycle to start so that they can pop out. Then you are going to need to go back for your next treatment. Treatments are usually about 4 week apart. Once you have completed all of your sessions and all of your hair has been treated, you will only need to go back once a year for maintenance. The reason why you need to wait 4 weeks in between treatments is because you must allow sufficient time for your skin to heal and for the treated hairs to fall out naturally. During this time you should not tweeze the treated hairs. This is only going to cause damage, and if you are patient the hairs will come out on their own. A lot more people are choosing to get laser hair removal simply because it makes the most sense, and it is the best way to permanently reduce the amount of hair that grows in a particular area. When you wax, you will have to go back quite often for upkeep, and you will never be able to reduce the amount of hair that grows back this way. You will end up spending more in frequent appointments and upkeep with waxing than you would with the yearly maintenance appointments with laser treatment. Additionally, there are no noticeable after effects from getting this type of treatment. You should avoid going tanning for the three weeks leading up to your appointment. This is because in order to get the best results, your skin should be as light as possible. This type of hair removal actually works best on light skin with dark hair. However, you may still be able to get effective hair removal treatments with a special laser if you have dark hair with dark skin. You just need to specify this requirement beforehand so that the clinic can let you know whether or not they will be able to accommodate you. There are plenty of professionals who can provide you with laser hair removal, all you have to do is look online or in your phone book to find them.
