As described by the Mayo Clinic, laser hair removal uses an intense beam of light to destroy the hair follicle underneath the skin and prevent hair growth. While the initial treatment might slow the growth of hair, it takes a few treatments to stop growth all together. The work is done by a trained professional with a hand-held machine, and you'll have to wear goggles during the treatment to prevent damage to the eyes.
Ultimate Light System
Laser Hair Removal Review recommends the Ultimate Light system for use with all skin tones. The system delivers a very wide range of light and can remove hair quickly. Laser Hair Removal Review praises this system for its lack of pain. While there may be stinging associated with laser hair removal, the Ultimate Light system causes very little discomfort. Side effects are rare, occurring in less than 1 percent of patients.
Diode Laser Systems
According to the Laser Hair Removal Review, diode laser systems are recommended because they deliver a wavelength of light that is long enough to penetrate deeply and destroy the hair follicle. They recommend the diode systems for use in patients with darker skin tone, as this system prevents injury and skin discoloration.
ND: Yang Laser Systems
These systems are effective for use in all skin colors, and are most effective for short-term hair loss. The Laser Hair Removal Review points out that, after treatment with the ND: Yang Laser System, hair grows back in about six months. These systems are recommended for patients who don't want to permanently get rid of their hair and for those with the darkest skin.
