THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS

THAT YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED

IN THIS TYPE OF PROCEDURE.

Dr. Sarah Mess

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

WORKS WELL FOR

JUST ABOUT ANYONE,

AS LONG AS THEIR

SKIN CAN WITHSTAND

THE INTENSITY OF THE

LASER THAT IS USED.

Dr. Sarah Mess

IT IS A BETTER OPTION THAN WAXING

BECAUSE IT IS PERMANENT

AND DOESN'T REQUIRE

CONSTANT MAINTENANCE.

Dr. Sarah Mess

ONCE A PERSON HAS UNDERGONE

LASER HAIR REMOVAL ON A

CERTAIN AREA OF THEIR BODY,

THE FOLLICLES WILL

NOT GROW BACK.

Dr. Sarah Mess

WHILE LASER HAIR REMOVAL USUALLY

REQUIRES NUMEROUS SESSIONS,

THE HAIR THAT DOES GROW BACK

BETWEEN SESSIONS WILL BE

MUCH LIGHTER AND FINER,

SO IT WON'T BE AS NOTICEABLE.

Dr. Sarah Mess

SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE

AS MANY AS EIGHT TREATMENTS

FOR THE HAIR ON A CERTAIN AREA

OF THE FACE OR BODY

TO BE REMOVED COMPLETELY.

Dr. Sarah Mess

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT AREAS

OF THE BODY (INCLUDING THE FACE)

THAT CAN UNDERGO

LASER HAIR REMOVAL.

Dr. Sarah Mess

SOME OF THE MORE COMMON AREAS

FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL INCLUDE

THE LEGS,

CHEST,

ARMS,

FACE,

AND BUTT.

Dr. Sarah Mess

BEFORE YOU GO IN

FOR THE PROCEDURE,

MAKE SURE NOT TO WAX

OR SHAVE THE AREA

THAT WILL BE TREATED.
