Permanent Laser Hair Removal
Although laser hair removal is by far the best way to remove unwanted hair, there is no documentation that any form of permanent laser hair removal is truly forever. The best you can hope for is that the destroyed hair follicles will forever grow back much sparser than before, or last a very long time (several months.) Realistically, people who choose permanent laser hair removal as an option have the procedure done at the beginning of each summer, or twice a year for body builders and other athletes. Legally, clinics can not advertise permanent laser hair removal and must use the term "permanent hair reduction." This came about in 1998 and is directly from the food and drug administration. Most of the controversy was around the use of the term ''permanent" rather than "reduction" or "removal." A reputable clinic will tell you honestly that hair will be reduced and grow back eventually, although lighter and fewer.
Laser Body Hair Removal-when and where?
Swimmers and cyclists often have all the hair on their bodies removed to decrease drag while performing their sport. Body builders -especially those who compete professionally- must have the hair on their bodies removed to that the judges can clearly see muscle tone. Laser body hair removal has also become popular with swimsuit models and beach goers over the last decade, as swim suits continue to leave less and less to the imagination. The good news is that using lasers for body hair removal is safe and effective, and when the hair does grow back it is typically lighter and finer (permanently.) Please keep in mind that long term results have not been successfully documented and that even people with the lightest skin and hair may not benefit from the treatments. There is always some risk when using lasers on your skin, but laser body hair removal continues to be the most popular and common way for "permanent" hair removal, so get a consultation from your dermatologist and quotes from several different clinics to ensure the most probable success.
