<\/p>\n

With the summer season quickly approaching, body maintenance is about to get a whole lot more expensive. Waxing and salon businesses raked in about $11 billion<\/a> in 2014 alone. In 2018, however, traditional waxing almost seems medieval. If our society can have self-driving cars, they can do better than ripping strips of hair off your body. This is where laser hair removal<\/a> comes in. Unlike waxing, the best laser hair removal destroys the root of the hair, all the way down to its follicle. For many people, this means never growing that hair back ever again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How Does It Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A laser is essentially a beam of light. The lasers used in hair removal are set to a specific wavelength to target melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives your hair color. As the hair absorbs the laser, it registers as heat that damages the follicle. Essentially, it burns it, usually preventing later hair growth. This may sound painful, but most people describe it like getting hit with a rubber band.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Types of Lasers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Something most patients don\u2019t realize is that there are different kinds of lasers used in laser hair removal treatment. The type you need depends on your complexion. A diode laser can be used for light or dark skin. An Alexandrite is fast-acting and ideal for treating large areas of body hair. Unfortunately, this one is most effective for olive complexions or lighter. For darker skin types, the YAG laser is best. These are less likely to burn the skin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who Can Get It?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Currently, the laser used in laser hair removal targets dark pigments. For some people, this means it will only target their dark hair. For others, the laser gets confused and it can accidentally target dark skin. Most laser hair removal specialists advise that light complexions with dark hair will see the best results. Still, it\u2019s best to speak with a professional before ruling out the service altogether.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Preparation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

For the laser to be as effective as possible, shave before your appointment. However, do not wax, tweeze, or bleach anything up to one month beforehand. There are also certain medications<\/a> that can\u2019t be taken during this treatment. To know for sure, don\u2019t forget to check with your doctor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How Many Sessions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

While most people need six to eight laser hair removal treatments, it\u2019s no exact science. Every body is different, and even different parts of your body have different hair growth rates. Make sure to attend all your sessions as set by your practitioner. This will yield the best laser hair removal results.<\/p>\n
