Los Angeles Laser Hair Removal ProgramBefore and After Photos
The goal of laser hair removal is to achieve a permanent hair reduction in the treated areas. The term permanent hair removal can be confusing as it can be taken to imply that all the hair in the treated area will be permanently gone. While this is a possibility, it isn't the norm, nor is it appropriate to suggest that this can be easily accomplished. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how one looks at it) our bodies have an amazing ability to regenerate or heal...including hair follicles. A realistic goal for our patients is 75% - 95% permanent hair removal
It is important to understand that the role of hormones in hair growth is important. Over time as our bodies mature and change, hormones can and will affect the amount of hair on the body. So, while we can and will eliminate approximately 75% - 95% of the hair you have at any one time, you may see that hair that used to be fine and light colored can become more coarse and dark as hormones change.
Although it seems like a play on words, results for laser hair removal are better described as a permanent hair reduction of the hair (as discussed 75% - 95%) rather than permanent hair removal of 100% of the hair. If a facility promises 100% removal of the hair and guarantees it, ask for it in writing. A reputable organization will set realistic expectations for permanent hair removal and then attempt to over-deliver on those expectations.
