Lasers work on unwanted hair much like they do in other treatments but to a different effect. While many laser treatments only break up pigment in the skin to achieve other results, in laser hair removal the laser still targets pigment in the hair follicle, but the effect it has not only breaks up pigment but also damages the follicle so that it cannot produce hair again.
Q: Does laser hair removal permanently remove hair?
This is not as straightforward of a question as you may think. While laser hair removal can’t ensure that not a single hair ever grows back, it can reduce hair growth to the point that you will not need to shave or wax regularly and what little hair does grow back will mostly go un-noticed. However, these results do not occur after one treatment session. Hair grows in cycles, so the hair follicles treated in one session are not the same as the hair follicles treated in your next session. Repeated treatments are necessary to target all your hair’s growth cycles, with most patients needing around five separate treatments
Q: Can anyone have their hair removed by lasers?
As with any treatment, there will be patients who are not suited to laser treatment. Your board-certified dermatologist should perform a patch test to make sure your skin reacts well, and if you have darker skin or hair that is too light, it is possible laser treatment might not work. You must ask your dermatologist if laser hair removal could work for you.
