Laser Hair Removal - Target Areas

by Arron Vepel

Lately, the removal of hair from the face and other regions on the body by the use of laser hair removal has been growing on popularity.

These are the areas of the body that laser hair removal treatments are usually targeted for:

Facial hair removal with laser treatment is popular with men and women. The unwanted hair that sometimes grows on the chin, sides of the face or above women's upper lips use this technique for removing this hair swiftly and easily.  Since the face has very sensitive skin, the reactions may be a little painful and last for more than a few days. It takes approximately an hour for treatment, but usually it will be several of these before all of the unwanted hair can be completely removed. Men often go for this method because they suffer from razor burns or would rather do away with shaving daily. Ears are another target area for men, as hair that grows here can be quickly and safely removed with laser treatment sessions.

Men also opt to use this method to rid themselves of chest hair that they do not wish to have.  A man with chest hair can use laser treatment to have a smooth chest, free of hair.  Mostly back hair is something that men are interested in removing, but there are women who require this as well. Hair on the back seems to be inclined to re-grow quickly, so this needs to be done with professional care.  Waxing doesn't last nearly as long as laser hair removal for back hair, and the treament is usually around an hour or slightly less. The amount of hair on the back is the deciding factor when it comes to the time taken, and the cost involved.

Perspiration is partially caused by the underarm hair that women and men typically have. In under an hour, underarm hair can be removed using laser treatment, and it lasts for the rest of the patient's life, in many cases. One hour's worth of underarm hair laser treatment can endure for the rest of the patient's life.

Bikini and leg hair are the other common areas for laser removal of hair treatment. Swimsuits and bikinis require some attention to body hair. Some women find it okay to treat the area as per the bikini outline; whereas others prefer to clean the whole area. The name given for a removal in this area is called a Brazilian.  Leg hair removal is the simplest hair to remove for both women and men, and it's faster than other regions.  There are women who only wish to get rid of unwanted hair between their ankle and their knee.

Someone's general appearance is improved by removing hair from specific areas.  Aesthetically, it is becoming more and more common to remove hair on many areas of the body. Shaving and waxing were the only options for hair removal until laser treatments became well known. Now, people are aware that hair removal is safer, quicker, and relatively cheaper with laser hair removal treatments.

Soft hair on very visible portions of the body may take less time in each sitting and need lesser number of sittings before there is complete satisfaction. Coarse and thick hair will naturally need longer periods in each sitting and areas like the back will need frequent sittings before the desired results are achieved.
