Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, chin, back, arm, underarm, leg, bikini line, and other areas.
Lasers can be selectively target dark coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin damaged. This damage can be healed by medicine products.
Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second .small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute and large areas such as the back or legs may take upto an hour. Most patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven sessions.
