Many people are plagued by unwanted hair. Hair is everywhere, whether we can see it or not. Unfortunately there is no 100% guaranteed and effective way to remove hair permanently. Depilatories and wax will remove hair, but it will always grow back. Waxing is often more practical for some since it removes the entire hair resulting in smoothness for a short period of time.
Unfortunately there is no way to guarantee a hairless body from any one product.
As for laser hair removal, it is NOT for everyone. The absolute requirement is that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. Additionally very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser energy in their skin and are not ideal candidates. Tanned patients with light hair are not candidates. Tanned patients with dark hair should wait until their tan fades before they are treated. Lastly the treatment cost should be within reach of the patient. Laser hair removal, although much less expensive than electrolysis, requires multiple treatments, and generally costs over $1000 in total for most anatomic areas.
Treatment can vary from the size of unwanted hair on your body. Prices average anywhere aroiund $500 dollars per session. [ naimee's advice column | Ask naimee A Question ]
