winter is a good time to have it done. Once you have had your initial treatment, you will only need touch-ups once or twice a year.
Some of the top advantages of laser hair removal are:
Speed - the treatment is quick.
It may take just a few minutes to remove the hair on your upper lip or chin. For larger areas such as the back, legs and chest, it may take up to an hour.
Safety - lasers have been used for more than 20 years to remove hair and new technology has made them even more efficient. You can rest assured that the treatment is time-tested and safe.
Saves time - you will no longer need to take time every few days to shave your legs, bikini area or pluck the unwanted hair on your face. Laser hair removal also removes the possibility of razor nicks and scratches that look ugly and may cause scars. Ingrown hairs will be a thing of the past.
Convenient - unlike waxing, you can shave between treatments. If for any reason you need a touch-up, but don't have time to get one, you can shave because laser treatments can be done on shaved
hair.
Precision - the lasers can target one hair without effective the surrounding skin.

This is because these procedures remove the follicle, which is needed for laser hair removal. You should also keep the treatment area out of direct sunlight for six weeks prior to treatment. After treatment, you skin may feel like it has a slight sunburn. This can be treated with cold compresses and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and will disappear in a few hours or a day and you can look forward to months of clear smooth skin.
