subject: Laser Hair Removal Treatment [print this page] Unwanted hair growth in women, can render them sleepless. Since many centuries, unwanted hair growth has been a problem for women. Waxing, threading and other methods were used to get rid of those unwanted hair in the body. However, these solutions are not permanent.
Laser hair removal treatment permanently removes unwanted body hair using a laser beam. The laser light is absorbed by melanin in the hair and hair follicle, which causes the follicle to shut down. The light penetrates the epithelium to reach the second layer, the dermis, where there are sweat and oil glands, blood vessels, and collagen.
The laser to remove hair can work on any area and commonly works on the armpits, chin, upper lip, legs, and bikini line. If you have black or dark brown hair, you would be an ideal candidate for laser hair removal. That is because the laser light will be absorbed by the hair pigment, leaving the skin unaffected.

For people with dark skin, bleaching should be undergone before the laser hair removal treatment. The shorter the hair that needs to be removed, the better the effect of the laser treatment. So shaving unwanted hair before the laser treatment will be good.
The cost of laser hair removal can be anywhere from $100 dollars to over a thousand. The permanent hair removal procedure requires multiple sittings with a Clinic. The Doctors suggest around 4 to 6 visits, depending on the type of the hair.
