For many people dealing with unwanted hair, laser hair removal would be a dream come true—as razor burns, ingrown hairs, and constant shaving or waxing would all become a thing of the past. But with all the available information about laser hair removal, it can be overwhelming to determine if the hair removal procedure is right for you. Today we’ll explore more about how laser hair removal works and address a few FAQ’s so that you can learn more about this revolutionary procedure for hair removal.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

The term spider vein refers to the small superficial veins that are visible beneath the skin’s surface. These dilated, small blood vessels have a twisted appearance and are red, purple, or blue in color. A number of factors can predispose someone to have spider veins, such as having a profession that involves lots of standing (such as nursing, or hair styling for example), using birth control pills, obesity, or even heredity. Not only can spider veins be embarrassing for some, but pain is also common, as most sufferers experience aching or cramping in the legs. Wearing compression or support hose may alleviate some discomfort, but many individuals seek sclerotherapy as a more permanent solution.

What to Expect

When it comes to an understanding of how laser hair removal works, some of the most frequently asked questions we receive are:

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

Many patients compare the sensation to being snapped by a rubber band and find treatments to be tolerable (especially when compared to the pain of waxing). The procedure becomes progressively more comfortable as treatments continue, and the treated hair becomes finer. If, however, you are concerned about pain, your physician can apply a topical analgesic before your procedure.

Are Results Permanent?

Currently, only electrolysis is FDA approved for permanent removal of hair. Electrolysis is, however, significantly more painful, time-consuming, and expensive than laser hair removal. It’s important to realize that while laser hair removal isn’t technically considered permanent, it does result in a significant reduction of hair after six to eight treatments. Because the hair follicles have been damaged, hair growth is drastically reduced to the point where waxing and shaving are no longer needed, as 80-90% of hair is removed.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients typically need about six to eight sessions scheduled four to six weeks apart for best results.
