Are you thinking about having laser hair removal treatments? Is the thought of tossing the razor, and saying goodbye to painful and messy waxing attractive and enticing? Do you wonder if you would be a good candidate for the service? Then listen up and we’ll clue you in about how the technique works and some of the most important points you should consider before taking advantage of the laser hair removal process.
Without a doubt the best candidate for laser hair removal is a person with light skin and dark hair. So if that describes you, you will probably have good success with this hair removal technique.
But that does not mean that only people with very light skin and dark hair will have good results. Professional laser hair removal experts are able to treat people with at least some melanin in the hair. During the free consultation with the practitioners at LaPiel Laser Center your skin type will be determined based on the Fitzpatrick skin-type scale and they will develop a plan specific to your skin-type and hair color.
So, if you have dark skin can you be treated with the laser hair removal technique? Generally a qualified professional laser hair removal practitioner can treat all skin types. With the darker skin types there is a greater chance of adverse side effects.
That is why it is very important to be treated by an experienced practitioner. As part of your free consultation at Lapiel the practitioner can do a test spot if necessary. For darker skin-types, a Lumenis Lightsheer diode laser is used because it is designed for added safety in treating darker skinned patients.
When considering the different options for hair removal you should be aware that most techniques only offer temporary results. In other words, the hair will eventually grow back. Laser hair removal is different. Hair follicles are treated with the gentle power of laser light and the follicles are actually removed. So when done right there is almost no chance that the hair will grow back again.
Always consult with a qualified professional before following any health-related advice. You can find answers to many of your hair removal questions at the Lapiel Chicago Laser Hair Removal Center website.
