Unwanted hair frustrates many people and can be costly, painful, and time consuming to continually remove. Most solutions are temporary, such as waxing and shaving. Laser hair removal is one of the few potentially permanent solutions available, next to electrolysis which many dislike due to the discomfort involved with the procedure. This method can offer permanent relief from unwanted hair for many people, and it is rapidly gaining in popularity.Although this is a very safe procedure, there are some side effects and risks associated with treatment. During the procedure and immediately following the removal, some clients experience redness, tenderness, and slight swelling.
