  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Laser Hair Removal Can Be Effective

    Laser hair removal is as effective as electrolysis and requires a shorter course of treatment. It is more effective than depilatory products or shaving, plucking or waxing hair. According to the Baylor College of Medicine, 90 percent of the people using laser hair removal experienced permanent hair loss.

    On the Other: Laser Hair Removal Does Not Work Well for Everyone

    Because different hairs are growing at different times, even multiple treatments may not remove all of the hair in an area. It's also possible that the procedure will only make hair lighter and thinner or just reduce the overall amount of hair. Laser hair removal is less effective on light colored hair and people with darker skin tones.

    Bottom Line

    The effectiveness of laser hair removal is not guaranteed; however, it is one of the more effective methods of hair removal available. Some people are better candidates for successful treatment than others. Anyone considering this procedure should consult a trained practitioner about what results to expect.
