What is laser hair removal?
Laser or light-based, hair removal permanently reduces unwanted hair by destroying the cells responsible for hair growth on different parts of the body, including:
Treatments only take a few minutes and are long-lasting, unlike other hair removal tactics like shaving plucking and waxing, which also happen to be time-consuming, painful, and temporary.
More About the Procedure
The number of sessions needed varies from one person to another, but typically 4-6 treatments are recommended. If you're removing hair from the face, underarms, arms, or bikini area, sessions should be 4-6 weeks apart, while for the back, chest, and legs, sessions are recommended to be 8 - 10 days apart. You should also shave between sessions, but avoid plucking or waxing. If you have questions, just ask your Tulsa doctor.
How does it work?
Hair growth is broken down into three phases:
The laser hair removal device works by emitting light energy that is absorbed by the hair follicle pigment which then impairs hair growth. Results are best when hair follicles are in the anagen phase, which is why multiple sessions are recommended.
