Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent? Facial & Full Body Hair Removal Results & Cost

If you are someone who is caught in the endless loop of hair removal, we have news for you! Removing unwanted facial and body hair doesn’t need to be so chaotic and repetitive. Laser hair removal makes the whole process easier for you!

The buzz around laser hair removal never seems to stop. Have you ever wondered why? It is because of the time-saving hair removal procedure and the effective results it bestows. Is laser hair removal permanent? Is it budget-friendly? Does it come with any side effects? We will discuss it all in this article.

Laser Hair Removal - What is it?

Laser hair removal is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure, where concentrated light energy is used to target and damage hair follicles. The heat generated by the laser selectively damages the hair follicle, reducing its ability to produce new hair. This will result in long-term hair reduction.

Temporary hair removal methods like shaving and waxing work only on surface level and will only yield short-term solutions. You’d have to repeat everything all over again every few days or weeks, according to an individual’s rate of hair growth. Whereas in laser hair removal, the lasers work beneath your skin’s surface, targeting and damaging hair growth at its root, resulting in long-term solutions.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

And, we’ve come to the million dollar question. Our honest answer is laser hair removal yields long-term hair reduction, even for years. But, it is not 100% permanent. The hair growth after the laser sessions will be significantly lesser than usual, the darker & coarser hair will get thinner and barely visible after a few sessions. Over time, many follicles may enter prolonged dormancy and stop producing visible hair.

The number of sessions vary for each individual depending on his/her hair growth, hormonal status and treatment area. After the recommended number of sessions, one should take maintenance sessions once or twice a year for lasting results.

Is laser hair removal suitable for the face?

Absolutely! Facial laser hair removal is gaining huge momentum from women all over the world. Some of the commonly treated facial areas include upper lip, jawline, chin, side burns and even full face.
