We talk about permanent laser hair removal because this effective method can eradicate about 80% of the hair, which is huge. But it would be more accurate to speak of a semi-definitive method. It is more lasting than definitive. It is important to know that the results vary greatly from person to person and depending on the type of hair. It is not uncommon for individuals to schedule maintenance sessions after a few years (4 to 5 years on average). The advantage is that this technique is much less painful than electric hair removal and often faster. It is suitable for both men and women. The former can epilate the chest, back and shoulders. Men and women can epilate all areas of the face, bikini line, armpits, arms and legs (even the top of the foot).
With laser hair removal, the hairs removed do not grow back... But not all hairs are necessarily removed simply because they do not all grow at the same time. Did you know that some hair can grow after four years? Hairs that are too fine fail to be removed because they do not fix the light. The luckiest when it comes to laser hair removal are women around 35 who have fair skin and dark hair. The method is not very effective on hair that is too light and white. For dull, mixed or black skin, a specific laser must be used. There are other cases of hair regrowth after laser hair removal. A hormonal change or menopause can be responsible for regrowth. It is difficult to anticipate.
There are many contraindications to permanent laser hair removal:pregnancy, tanned skin, certain photosensitizing treatments and hair located on moles. You should also know that some areas are more difficult to treat, especially when the hairs are too fine. The face can be complicated as the hairs are finer and the down present. The hair cycle is also longer. In women of the Mediterranean type, it can happen that laser hair removal of the lip causes a paradoxical reaction. It would promote the growth of down from a distance. Eyebrow waxing is generally to be forgotten, because the practice of the laser requires wearing protective glasses. Eventually, you can remove the hair above, but not the hair below. A single laser shot in the eye can cause blindness. All precautions must therefore be taken. Laser hair removal is ideal for treating large areas such as the legs.
