When speaking of laser hair removal, there are basically only two kinds. Both types employ heat that is generated by a high intensity light source. First, is the IPL or Intense Pulsed light model. It uses a xenon tube to generate high intensity light. Then there are the actual lasers that use diode laser light emissions to generate the light. Both styles are referred to as laser because they use light as their energy source. They perform the same function of using light to generate heat that is repeatedly applied to the hair follicle. The repeated heating disables the follicle resulting in permanent hair removal.

We’ve had laser hair removal since the 1970’s. Modern technology has decreased their size making them small enough for home use. The modern laser is referred to as the personal laser hair remover. Personal laser hair removers are considered safe by physicians and have the same rate of success as the large units when it comes to permanent hair removal.

Heating by light energy or photothermolysis is how laser hair removal works. The laser penetrates the skin by acting on the melanin contained in the hair follicle. The light travels through the skin acting only on the follicle. Reapplying the laser continually heats the hair follicle disabling it and resulting in permanent hair loss. Laser hair removers work best on users with light skin and dark hair. This allows for successful penetration of the skin by the laser. They can be used anywhere on your body for both men and women.

Several applications are required to permanently remove the hair. How many treatments will depend on the individual user and the type of remover used. Many users see results in as few as three treatments and no hair growth after as few as five treatments. Again, these are very individualized results according to skin tone and hair color. The applications are separated by about 3 to 6 weeks depending on each users response. Users report little to no discomfort with usual side effects including itching, redness and swelling.

The cost of the device can range from $200 to $1000 and will vary with the type and number of accessories (replacement lamps etc.) included in the set. The size of the application area will also vary with the larger lamps costing more as they can treat a larger area decreasing the time required for each treatment.
