removing hairs by laser?

[aliczech]

Did anybody know, how much cost removing under arm hairs by leaser??? Is it really work for ever? Thanks for answers.

I've not had it done, but apparently it's very effective, but does not necessarily last indefinitely. You usually need to have 3-6 treatments and most clinics charge for a course of treatment. You are looking at about �400 for 6 sessions.

Most people can have Laser Hair Removal, except those with ethnic skintones, as the laser works by targeting the pigmentation in the hair. It usually cannot distinguish between differences in skin and hair pigmentation, so may cause burning of the skin. However, a different type of machine called a "Long Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser" can be used for darker skin, but I'm unsure as to how effective this is.

I agree with Velvetee. Often you need to go back for subsequent treatment. I know someone who had hairs lasered away from her legs. It was a long-winded process, and cost a fortune, but the results are fantastic. I think you'd find that �400 is about right - but enquire at several places first.

Hi, i am an experienced laser therapist. Laser is not permanant hair removal! It is permanant hair reduction! It will reduce the hairs in the area, but results will largely depend upon both your skin and hair colour. In my experience i have seen best results on those patients whose skin is fair in colour and whose hairs are dark and thick. I would recommend that you go to a reputable clinic for a consultation and skin patch test. And remember dont be cheap! Its worth spending that little bit extra to know that you are in safe hands at a reputable saon! And check that the clinic and laser therapist are both registered with the healthcare commission.
