What is best for permanent hair removal
Laser hair removal: Be prepared with these 5 facts
laser hair removal is the
state-of-the-art treatment for
permanently reducing the amount of hair
that you have it's a very popular
treatment for patients of any age but
most commonly for people between the
ages of 20 and 45
when a patient arrives at our office
asking about laser hair removal we first
look at their skin to determine if
they're a good candidate for it the
darker the hair the thicker the hair and
the lighter your skin the better these
lasers are going to work for you
in general we will do about five
treatments separated by about five weeks
that allows for the new hair growth to
come in and we have found after five
treatments we've reduced the hair by
about 90 or 95 percent it's also very
important to ask your physician
what type of lasers are being used for
your skin there are ones that are
specific for darker skin types and then
ones that can work on just about any
skin type you can expect your laser hair
removal to be permanent except for the
face and women because you don't
regenerate those follicles in say the
underarms the bikini the lower legs the
face is the one exception because of
hormones over time
laser hair removal is not covered by
insurance however the cost is usually
determined by the area of your body that
you're having treated and it also
depends on how many treatments you're
going to need based on your providers
suggestions so talk with your
board-certified dermatologist about the
cost of laser hair removal and they will
let you know the ranges of the prices
