There are close to five million follicles on the typical human body. The hair that grows from these follicles serves many purposes, including keeping us warm and providing some protection against stressors in the environment, like water, sunlight, abrasion, and strong chemicals.

Not everyone wants or enjoys all of their hair, however. Some people enjoy the smooth look of bare skin in certain areas or all over. Routine shaving can be a repetitive chore. Body hair can even be uncomfortable depending on a person’s outfit, activities, and other factors.

Laser hair removal is a treatment that directly targets the follicles that grow unwanted hairs, using light to shut down hair production for long-term results.

Laser hair removal works on a deeper level compared to other methods—like shaving—and gets to the underlying source of the issue: the hair follicles themselves. The laser device delivers pulses of highly concentrated energy into the skin, where the light is absorbed by pigmented cells in the follicles. This generates localized intense heat, which harms the hair follicles so that future hair growth is delayed or prevented.

Laser hair removal won’t kill the hairs for good, but it does slow the hair growth process for a considerable amount of time. It can also cause future hairs to grow in lighter and finer.

There are several benefits of laser hair removal, including its precision, its ability to target large areas of hair, and its reliability.

Laser hair removal is a way of getting rid of unwanted hair on almost every area of the body, with the exception of the eyelids or skin that is tattooed. The licensed and registered nurses at Skin Klinic & Day Spa have extensive knowledge and many years of experience in providing safe, effective laser treatments. For those who might be wondering, “Is laser hair removal the best option for me,” the first thing you should do is meet up with one of our qualified providers, who can explain what you can expect from the laser hair removal process.

With laser hair removal, you can avoid the razor bumps and acne-like breakouts associated with other hair removal techniques. The treatment also prevents ingrown hairs, which can be a problem after shaving and other manual hair-removal techniques.
