Whether laser hair removal will work for you
depends on several factors, the most important
being your hair color and skin type. Individuals with dark hair and light-colored skin get maximum results. That's why we strongly encourage clients to avoid tanning before and after their laser hair removal. Light
hair, such as blonde or red, contains a pigment
that doesn't absorb laser energy as well as
brown or black hair, and therefore does not
respond as well to therapy. Those with very
tan skin who have very light body hair are not
usually suitable candidates for laser hair removal,
because darkened skin absorbs too much light,
and a laser is nothing but highly concentrated
light. A major prerequisite for successful laser
hair removal is that the patient’s hair
is darker than the surrounding skin.
New laser technology has made it possible for
people with a variety of skin tones (including
dark complexions) to get significant results.
We successfully treat many skin tones here at
Cosmetique, due to our high-end technology and
qualified practitioners. Consultations are complimentary,
so you can call (310) 837-5555 to set up an
appointment and get further pricing and information
about the number of treatments you will need
to meet your goals.
Many variables can affect the outcome of laser
hair removal, and some patients require more
sessions than others to produce the same results.
Though the technique is highly advanced, there
are no absolute guarantees in laser hair removal.
Advertisements that guarantee reduction
or permanent elimination of hair by this technique
should not be trusted. Reputable clinics practicing
laser hair removal do not make such misleading
claims.
Look for clinics that use FDA-approved instruments
and a trained medical staff. In general, more
sessions bring better and longer-lasting results.
The exact cost of laser hair removal depends
on the size of the body area to undergo treatment,
as well as on the general and specific physical
characteristics of the patient. To obtain an
estimate of how much it will cost, please call
(310) 837-5555 to set up a free consultation.
