Laser hair removal is a process in which a laser is used to remove the hair from any part of the body you desire. This procedure is typically used on the upper lip, face, bikini area, and legs, although it can be used on other areas of the body as well. If you are considering laser hair removal for your body, you may be wondering what to expect with this procedure. Read on for a few things you should know.

It Doesn't Hurt

Laser hair removal doesn't hurt, although you may feel some discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a warmth or even a hot sensation on your skin as the laser is killing the root of the hair follicle. Pain tolerances are different for everyone, so you may feel like this hurts, while others may not feel like it hurts at all. The discomfort you may feel from this process doesn't last long and will go away.

You May Have Redness

You may experience redness on the site where you had laser hair removal. Using a lotion or cream to help soothe the area may be necessary, but you should talk to your laser hair removal professional about what is best to use for soothing the site. A cool washcloth may be helpful in soothing the skin as well. The redness should go away after a few hours, but if you still have redness days later, you should consult your laser hair removal professional.

Your Hair May Grow Back

Even after having laser hair removal, you may have some hair grow back. It doesn't usually happen right away, but it could occur over time. You also may need more than one treatment in order to kill the hair follicles completely, and even after that, the hair could grow back over time. If your hair does grow back, you can always have laser hair removal again if necessary.

Thicker Hair Areas May Need More Treatment

If you have thicker hair that you are trying to have laser removed, you may need more than one treatment in order to get rid of it completely. Darker hair may also require more treatments as well. Talk to your laser hair removal professional about your type of hair and what to expect with your hair type and the area in which you are having your hair removed. 

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure that is nearly painless, that is used to remove unwanted hair from your body. Talk to a laser hair professional about what else you can expect with laser hair removal.
