Laser Hair Removal:
I have unwanted hair on my back and shoulders -- I figured that the ladies would know all about having hair lasered off.
Is it permanent? Would you recommend it? What is the normal costs. Is it worth the price?
Thanks

Well I work for a Laser Hair Company and I worked for one in Florida. We use a Candela Laser -- I did also in Florida. It depends on darkness of the hair, and you have to do a series of treatments. For face and body its can take up to 8 to 10 times. Another thing you need to realize, it sheds, it's not magical. It takes about a week or so for it to shed out and you will become clear for a few weeks, then when the growth appears again thats when you go in again for a treatment, about every 6 to 8 weeks, however we allow every 4 weeks for face.Quote:

well we'd have to shave him first before we even do the process so maybe 4 weeks still since it's even coarser the more coarse the hair the betterQuote:

is that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin.
Additionally very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser
energy in their skin and are not candidates for most lasers. These
dark skinned patients require the use of highly specialized lasers
which are only available at selected laser hair removal centers.
Tanned patients with light hair are not candidates. Tanned patients
with dark hair cannot be treated with the usual hair removal lasers.
Light skin makes laser hair removal easier to perform. Fewer
treatments are required, and better, faster results are obtained.
People with darker skin can be treated, but results are
slower, more sessions are required, and greater expertise is
required on the part of the laser center. Laser hair removal must
be individualized for each patient.
Also your hair color may effect your results. Dark hair absorbs
more laser energy and is easier to treat. Coarse dark hair responds
the best to laser treatment. Light hair is more difficult to treat.
Blonde or red hair is very difficult to treat. Multiple treatment
sessions are required, and results are variable. Blonde or red
hair usually contains pheomelanin, which absorbs laser energy
less avidly than the eumelanin pigment which is present in black
or brown hair.
Thus as always your mileage may vary. 8)
well not just the ladies :wink:Quote:
