Laser Hair Removal Arlington Information

The laser hair removal procedure is more effective than any other hair removal option, including electrolysis. Laser treatments can efficiently treat large areas like the arms, legs, shoulders and back while remaining gentle enough to treat more sensitive areas like the face. The time each individual treatment takes is based on the area being treated. The upper lip only takes a few minutes, but legs can take up to an hour.

The key to the effectiveness of the laser hair removal procedure is the principle of Selective Photothermolysis. By properly adjusting the pulsewidth (the amount of time the laser is on) the laser light is able to pass - unaffected - through the thin layer of skin pigment and reach the deep hair follicle. At the follicle level, the laser energy is absorbed and transformed into heat that disables the follicle. As a result, hair growth is impaired without affecting the surrounding tissue.

Laser hair removal cannot remove all hair in one treatment; therefore patients will need multiple treatments in order to effectively reduce unwanted hair. Most patients will need anywhere from 3-6 treatments, but some might need up to 8. Laser hair removal is currently the number one laser treatment performed in the United States; therefore patients can trust that the laser hair removal procedure is a safe, fast and effective way to permanently reduce any and all unwanted hair.
