All the follicles that our laser kills are permanent. Over the course of time, patients may need touch-up laser treatments, but we have found that numerous patients often find no need to return.
Does hair color influence treatment efficacy?:
Dark hair absorbs more laser energy and is, therefore, much easier to treat. Coarse dark hair responds the best to laser treatment. Light hair is can be more difficult to treat, while blonde or grey hair does not respond to laser treatment. Multiple treatment sessions are required, and results are variable.
What are the potential side-effects of laser hair removal?:
The energies used by The Skin Care Clinic (electrical and light) are both commonly used in a range of medical and cosmetic procedures that have proven to be safe. Most people experience no side effects at all, though few exhibit some short-term local reddening of the surrounding skin. You can return to your regular activities immediately after laser hair removal treatment, although it is advisable to keep the skin protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a short period of time.
How many laser hair removal treatments are needed?:
Our laser hair removal technology destroys hairs that are in the active growth phase, so repeat treatments will be needed to target hair that was not affected at the time of previous laser hair removal treatments. Normally six laser hair removal treatments are recommended to get the optimum results.
