How Permanent Is Laser Hair Removal?

Kathleen Dowe watched her fuzzy upper lip evolve into something more over time. Tired of endless waxing, she started to explore permanent laser hair removal. Just to see if it was something she could afford. And to find out just how "permanent" so called permanent laser hair removal was anyway?

"What I learned about permanent hair removing was fascinating," Dowe admitted. "But not nearly as interesting as my first hand experience of having hair removed permanently."

"My dermatologist placed the laser wand against my skin. A burst of intense light followed. Presumably killing several hundred hair follicles."

"Those that had absorbed the light fell out three or four days later. Those that hadn't didn't," Dowe pointed out. "And in my case having darker hair was actually better than just wispy, blond but still annoying peach fuzz."

"I also found out that your hair grows in cycles," said Kathleen. "It's either in grow mode, regression or resting. Which is why to achieve permanent laser hair removal you need multiple sessions. That and the density of your hairiness."

Did You Know? A laser used improperly can burn your skin, or worse leave a permanent scar.

"For that reason you should expect three or four sessions to rid your upper lip of hair? More if you're a guy going for the hairless back look."

"Yet from what I can see, when using a laser, permanent hair removal is less painful than what one of my friends described with electrolysis. Then too pain is a personal thing," Dowe said with a wistful sigh..

"Would I do it again? Absolutely. Laser treatments are my permanent hair removal system of choice!"
