The history of hair removal techniques goes back thousands of years. Until the past 20 years men relied on the old standby, shaving, to remove unwanted hair. Unfortunately the results of shaving are short lived and shaving large areas of body hair can be quite a task. With the advent of lazer hair removal a permanent solution is available. Laser treatments are typically performed in dermatologists offices, med spas or stand alone laser hair removal centers. Treatments are performed by nurses or trained laser hair removal technicians. Due to the cyclical growth cycle of the hair follicle it can take from 3-8 treatments to clear the target area of unwanted hair. Treatments are typically spaced 6-12 weeks apart to ensure new hair growth is targeted as it emerges. Additional touch-up treatment may be needed after the initial set of treatments.
